renfe_mcp_server

The renfe_mcp_server project provides real-time information about Spanish Renfe train schedules and live fares. It leverages a specialized DWR scraper to fetch up-to-date data directly from Renfe sources, delivering current departure/arrival times and pricing through the MCP server interface. Users can connect to this MCP server to query train options by origin, destination, and travel date, and receive live results that reflect current availability and pricing. The included tooling focuses on retrieving live data efficiently via the scraper, and organizing results in a user-friendly format for downstream integrations or dashboards.

Prerequisites:

• Access to the internet to download assets and data
• A supported operating system (Windows/macOS/Linux as per your environment) and basic permissions to install software

Installation steps:

1. Download the latest release from the provided repository link in the README. The release includes the necessary executable/assets for the MCP server.
2. Extract the downloaded archive to a preferred directory on your system.
3. If there are installer prompts, follow on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
4. Verify the installation by launching the application or following any startup instructions included with the release (e.g., running a provided executable or shortcut).
5. If needed, consult any accompanying documentation within the release for environment-specific configuration options.

Notes:

• The README does not specify a cross-platform installer method or runtime requirements beyond general system prerequisites, so adapt steps as needed for your OS and available runtime components.

Tips and considerations:

• The server relies on a custom DWR scraper to fetch live Renfe data; ensure you have a stable internet connection for accurate results.
• If you encounter data fetch issues, verify network access to Renfe sources as required by the scraper.
• Since the release is provided as a ZIP/installer, confirm you are downloading from the official source and that the release is the latest version.
• If you plan to integrate this MCP server into other systems, you may need to expose or document the endpoints/format used by the MCP framework once you identify the server’s communicative interface.
• Environment variables or additional configuration options are not detailed in the README; if you need customization, check for a config file in the installation directory or consult the project’s repository for advanced options.
