Claude Code: ask. ### `find_transit` - The name "find_transit" says "find": a word for reading. - The description's first verb is "call": a word for a change. - The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class. - Findings: warn annotation-conflict Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Call with no arguments (or only `coverage`) to list the regions served and what each supports. Without a coverage, a name is searched in every region. If nothing matches, suggestions lists the closest names (not matches). Resolve a coverage, agency, route, station, stop, or a currently observed train number (where vehicle data exists); inspect an exact reference or nearby coordinates. Context ranks candidates without selecting identity. Candidates come best first (exact names and well-known place names such as SFO, then stations, then rail before bus), and each stop says what it is: stopType (station, platform or street stop), modes and the lines serving it, so you can pick the one the rider means. No general address geocoding. Use plan_trip for journeys. ``` ### `plan_trip` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. - The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Plan an origin-to-destination journey. Returns up to three independently validated itineraries (the fastest, then other lines) and resolves named endpoints together; departure defaults to now. The search covers every line of the coverage, buses included. When no itinerary is possible (planning unavailable, a search too large, or nothing found) it returns routeHints: lines near each end and direct lines serving both. Call again with routes (the lines you would ride, from routeHints or your own knowledge) to plan along only those lines, which works wherever schedules exist. Present only returned itineraries as confirmed. The whole journey must finish within windowSeconds (default two hours): if none is found for a long trip, retry with a larger window. Each transit leg carries a tripInstanceRef; pass it to get_vehicle_status to see where that train is now. For a wheelchair user or anyone avoiding stairs, set accessibility: "step_free": journeys then board, alight and change only at platforms step-free from the street per the agency (partial stations by direction), avoiding stations cut off by a current elevator outage; in-station changes between such platforms are taken as step-free. It refuses with ACCESSIBILITY_UNAVAILABLE when no current elevator report exists and ENDPOINT_NOT_STEP_FREE when an endpoint has no step-free platform now (get_service_status lists the outages). Never present a journey pieced together from get_departures as confirmed; check it here with routes. ``` ## Only reads (16) Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow. ### `get_all_stations` - The name "get_all_stations" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get the complete list of transit stations with coordinates for one city. Large result; prefer search_stations or get_stations_by_line when looking for specific stations. ``` ### `get_bus_positions` - The name "get_bus_positions" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get real-time positions of DC Metro buses, optionally filtered by route. ``` ### `get_bus_predictions` - The name "get_bus_predictions" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get real-time bus arrival predictions for a DC Metro bus stop. ``` ### `get_bus_routes` - The name "get_bus_routes" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get all DC Metro bus routes with route IDs and descriptions. ``` ### `get_bus_stops` - The name "get_bus_stops" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get DC Metro bus stops. Returns all stops or filters by lat/lon/radius. ``` ### `get_departures` - The name "get_departures" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Find what leaves a stop next, the first service or last service in a bounded window. Pass a stopRef from find_transit, or a stop name with its coverage (one station complex resolves directly; different same-named stations return candidates). A station covers its whole complex, e.g. every line at Times Sq-42 St; a platform ref covers that platform. Pass toStop or toStopRef for the next trips from here that stop at a destination, each with its arrival time there. Returns dated trip references for get_vehicle_status. For a journey with a change use plan_trip (with routes where needed): departures alone cannot prove a connection. ``` ### `get_elevator_incidents` - The name "get_elevator_incidents" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get current elevator and escalator outages. DC Metro only. ``` ### `get_incidents` - The name "get_incidents" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get current transit incidents and service advisories for DC Metro or NYC Subway. ``` ### `get_route_info` - The name "get_route_info" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get detailed information about a transit route including service patterns. NYC Subway only. ``` ### `get_service_status` - The name "get_service_status" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Check disruptions, delays, closures, elevator and escalator outages, or revalidate a chosen itinerary without replacing it. Scope by coverage, a station name with its coverage (stop), or an agency, route, stop or dated trip reference; a station covers its complex. Aggregate scopes include canonical service in the next 24 hours. equipment lists elevator/escalator outages: accessiblePath marks the step-free route, blocksStepFree marks stations step-free plan_trip avoids, and alternativeRoute is the agency's way around. Use get_vehicle_status for an observed vehicle location. ``` ### `get_station_predictions` - The name "get_station_predictions" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get real-time train arrival predictions for a transit station. Supports DC Metro and NYC Subway. Accepts a station name or an exact station ID; if a name matches several stations, the result lists the candidates to choose from. ``` ### `get_station_transfers` - The name "get_station_transfers" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get transfer connections and nearby stations from a transit station. NYC Subway only. ``` ### `get_stations_by_line` - The name "get_stations_by_line" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get all stations on a specific transit line. Supports DC Metro and NYC Subway. ``` ### `get_train_positions` - The name "get_train_positions" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get real-time positions of all trains on the DC Metro system. ``` ### `get_vehicle_status` - The name "get_vehicle_status" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Where observed trains are right now. Pass a route ref to list its trains, a dated trip ref (from get_departures or a plan_trip leg) to find that train, or a station (stopRef, or a name with coverage) to see trains stopped at or heading to it; a station covers its whole complex. Each train reports the stop it is at or heading to (stopStatus), the stop it last served, and its destination. Coordinates are the vehicle's own when the agency sends them (DC); otherwise a stopped train is placed at its station and a moving one has none. Never pass a bare train number: use find_transit. ``` ### `search_stations` - The name "search_stations" says "search": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Search for transit stations by name or code. Supports DC Metro and NYC Subway. ``` ## Claude Code permissions For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `transit`: ```json { "permissions": { "allow": [ "mcp__transit__get_station_predictions", "mcp__transit__search_stations", "mcp__transit__get_stations_by_line", "mcp__transit__get_all_stations", "mcp__transit__get_station_transfers", "mcp__transit__get_incidents", "mcp__transit__get_elevator_incidents", "mcp__transit__get_bus_predictions", "mcp__transit__get_bus_routes", "mcp__transit__get_bus_stops", "mcp__transit__get_bus_positions", "mcp__transit__get_train_positions", "mcp__transit__get_route_info", "mcp__transit__get_departures", "mcp__transit__get_service_status", "mcp__transit__get_vehicle_status" ], "ask": [ "mcp__transit__find_transit", "mcp__transit__plan_trip" ], "deny": [] } } ```
