sbb-mcp

Independent MCP client by SwissTrip™ — connects AI assistants to Swiss Federal Railways (SBB / CFF / FFS) data: train schedules, station search, ticket prices with Halbtax / GA discounts, and direct purchase links via SBB's SMAPI.

Try it live (no install) → Add https://mcp.swisstrip.app/mcp as a custom connector in ChatGPT (Plus / Pro / Business / Enterprise with Developer Mode).

The package itself is a thin client. All SBB API access, ticketing, and profile sync run on the hosted SwissTrip server at https://mcp.swisstrip.app/mcp.

What it can do — example questions you can ask your AI

Once connected, ask in any supported language:

• "When's the next train from Zurich HB to Bern?"
• "Find me an evening connection from Geneva to Lugano next Friday for 2 adults with Halbtax."
• "How much is a 2nd class ticket from Basel to Lausanne?"
• "Quand part le prochain train pour Genève?" (French)
• "Quanto costa un biglietto da Milano a Zurigo?" (Italian)
• "Wann fährt der nächste Zug nach Basel?" (German)

The AI calls the right MCP tool under the hood and returns a direct purchase link to sbb.ch.
