Summary
Connects Claude and other MCP clients to Swiss Federal Railways (SBB/CFF/FFS) data through SwissTrip's hosted service. Exposes six tools: station search, connection lookups, detailed trip itineraries with intermediate stops, earlier/later departure queries, ticket pricing with discount options (Halbtax, GA, Sparbillet), and direct purchase links to SBB.ch.
