Sasabasara Where Is My Bus Mcp
Let your coding agent query live NYC bus arrivals, vehicle positions, alerts, and trip plans while you build commute-aware apps or automations.
Overview
Where Is My Bus MCP is a Build-phase MCP server that gives agents real-time NYC bus arrivals, vehicle locations, service alerts, and trip planning via Smithery.
What is this MCP server?
- Real-time NYC bus arrival predictions from the agent chat
- Live vehicle locations and service-alert context for a route or stop
- Trip planning between arbitrary NYC bus stops or corridors
- Smithery-hosted streamable HTTP remote (v2.0.0) with Bearer auth
- No local scraper—agent calls Smithery `@sasabasara/where_is_my_bus_mcp` endpoint
- Server schema version 2.0.0 on Smithery streamable HTTP
- Single remote endpoint under `@sasabasara/where_is_my_bus_mcp`
- Required secret header: Bearer Smithery API key
What problem does it solve?
Building or testing NYC bus features means juggling opaque real-time feeds and stop IDs instead of asking your agent in plain language.
Who is it for?
Indie builders in or targeting NYC who want agent-driven transit QA, commute bots, or MTA-backed integrations without custom feed plumbing.
Skip if: Builders outside NYC, teams that need subway/rail-only coverage, or anyone who cannot use Smithery Bearer authentication.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you add the Smithery remote and API key, your agent can plan trips and cite live bus timing while you code or prototype.
- Agent-grounded NYC bus arrival and alert answers in the IDE
- Trip plans between stops usable in prototypes or test scripts
- Live vehicle context for integration smoke tests
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Transit data access is an external API integration you wire into a product or agent workflow during implementation, not a launch or growth tactic. The server exposes MTA-style real-time transit tools over MCP streamable HTTP, which maps directly to third-party service hooks in the build phase.
How it compares
MCP transit integration over Smithery, not a packaged navigation app or a one-off Claude skill.
