Izmir Ulaşım MCP Server

How to use

You interact with the İzmir Ulaşım MCP Server through an MCP client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor. Use the available tools to query real-time transit data, filter results by line or stop, search for stops or stations, and retrieve schedules. Each tool is designed to answer a concrete question, like which buses are approaching a given stop, where all buses on a line currently are, or when a specific line will next reach a particular stop.

To perform common tasks, call the corresponding tools through your MCP client. For example, you can ask the assistant to pull the approaching buses for a stop, find all lines that serve a stop name, or fetch IZBAN and metro schedules. The tools are meant to integrate with natural language prompts, returning structured information you can act on.
