Chelaile MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to Chelaile, a live bus and metro data service in China. Once it is set up, you can just ask things like how long until your bus arrives, and your AI will look it up for you. It is handy for anyone who commutes or travels by bus and metro in Chinese cities.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like when your bus will arrive. The AI passes your question to this helper, which talks to the Chelaile service. Chelaile sends back the live data, such as arrival times, vehicle positions, or a route plan. The helper hands that back to your AI, and your AI explains it to you in the chat. No login or account setup is needed.

Try asking your AI

• “How long until the next bus on line 300 arrives at my stop?”
• “What bus stops are near me right now?”
• “Show me the full stop list for bus line 1 in Beijing.”
• “Plan a bus and metro route from here to the train station.”

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat, usually as a short list or summary. For example, it might list nearby stops with arrival times, or show the stops along a line with where the buses currently are. It can also give you a route plan with the steps to take. If you prefer, it can return the raw data in a structured form instead of a written summary.
