🇨🇭 Part of the Swiss Public Data MCP Portfolio

🚗 Swiss Road & Mobility MCP Server

MCP Server for Swiss road mobility — shared vehicles, EV charging, traffic alerts, Park & Rail, and multimodal trip planning

🇩🇪 Deutsche Version

Demo

Overview

swiss-road-mobility-mcp provides AI-native access to Swiss road and mobility data sources:

If the Swiss Transport MCP is the GA pass for rail, this server is the vignette + Park & Rail card + sharing subscription for the road — together they paint the complete multimodal picture of Swiss mobility.

Anchor demo query: "I'm in Dietikon with my car. I need to get to Bern. Where can I park? Which train should I take?"

Features

• 15 tools across six data sources (Phase 1–4)
• road_mobility_snapshot — aggregated mobility overview for any location
• road_multimodal_plan — car + Park & Rail + public transport in one plan
• No API key required for 12 of 15 tools
• Dual transport — stdio (Claude Desktop) + SSE (cloud)
• Rate limiting + caching for all endpoints

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11+
• uv (recommended) or pip

Configuration

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "swiss-road-mobility": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["swiss-road-mobility-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "OPENTRANSPORTDATA_API_KEY": "<your-token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or with python:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "swiss-road-mobility": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "swiss_road_mobility_mcp.server"],
      "env": {
        "OPENTRANSPORTDATA_API_KEY": "<your-token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Shared mobility, EV charging, Park & Rail, and the multimodal planner work without an OPENTRANSPORTDATA_API_KEY. The key is only required for the DATEX II traffic tools.
