indian-railway

This MCP server exposes a set of Indian Railway related tools that you can access through Claude Desktop or any MCP-compatible client. Tools include searching for trains between two stations, checking seat availability, retrieving train details and live status, obtaining delay statistics, and querying station or train codes. To use it, connect via the config shown in Claude Desktop (or your MCP client) so the client can invoke the remote mcp-remote service hosted at https://railway-mcp.amithv.xyz/mcp. Once connected, you can issue commands such as: searching for trains between a pair of stations on a date, requesting seat availability for a specific train on certain dates, or getting live status updates for a running train. Each tool returns a formatted text response suitable for direct display in Claude or other clients.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js and npm installed on your system
• Access to install global npm packages

Steps:

1. Install the remote MCP client globally (as shown in the project README): npm i -g mcp-remote

2. Add the remote MCP server configuration to Claude Desktop (or your MCP client):

   • Open Claude Desktop > Settings > Developer > Edit Config
   • Paste the following configuration (or adapt for your client): { "mcpServers": { "railways": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://railway-mcp.amithv.xyz/mcp" ] } } }

3. Save the config and restart the client. The Indian Railway tools will be available for use.

Tips and caveats:

• Ensure you have network access to https://railway-mcp.amithv.xyz/mcp and that the remote MCP service is online.
• The tools return pre-formatted text suitable for Claude; you can copy the output directly or paste into logs.
• If you modify the remote URL, update the args accordingly in your MCP config.
• Supported tools include: Search-trains, Get-seat-availability, Get-train-info, Get-train-live-status, Get-train-delay-info, Get-live-station-info, Get-station-code, Get-train-code.
