On 2026-10-19 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 224 ms.

• Its tools do compare train and flight routes on long corridors, but not rank train connections by how often they run late.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

• find_place

  Turn what somebody typed into RailRoute place ids. ALWAYS call this before plan_journey. A place is a city with all of its stations and airports — Mumbai covers CSMT, LTT, Dadar, Bandra Terminus and the airport — so the planner can choose…

• plan_journey

  Every practical way to get from one place to another: direct trains with their fares per class, journeys with one change of train, flights, mixed train-and-flight itineraries, and GOVERNMENT BUSES from the state road transport…

• check_train_options

  Live seat availability per class for one train on one date, plus every other way to book it when the through ticket will not confirm: a split at an intermediate station, boarding earlier, alighting later. This is the tool that rescues a…

• train_schedule

  Every stop of one train with its scheduled arrival and departure, in order. Scheduled times only — this says nothing about where the train is today.

• station_departures

  Every train scheduled to call at a station, in departure order — the enquiry board, not a journey plan. Use plan_journey when somebody wants to get somewhere; use this when they are asking what leaves from here. Scheduled times only.

• journey_calendar

  Day-by-day service over a span of dates for a station pair: which days have a direct train and which have none, plus the weekly pattern. Use this when somebody is flexible about when they travel, or asks 'does it run on Sundays'…

• nearby_stations

  Other railway stations within a radius of one station, nearest first. Useful when a place has no service of its own and the traveller needs to know what is reachable — the planner already does this internally, so reach for it only when…

• next_confirmed_date

  Search forward up to a month for the first date this route can actually be travelled with a confirmed berth — direct trains and one-change journeys together. Use it when a traveller is flexible about WHEN and the date they asked for is…
