Madurai CityBus MCP server
by rsiva2294
Lets your AI plan Madurai bus routes, find stops, and check TNSTC stage fares for you.
This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to the Madurai CityBus bus network. Once it is set up, you can just ask your AI things like which bus to take or how much the fare is, and it will look it up for you. It is handy if you live in or travel around Madurai and use buses.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app or service. This one connects your AI to the Madurai CityBus route network, so it can look up buses, stops, and fares for you when you ask. You do not need to understand how it works inside; you just ask in normal words.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI a question about Madurai buses, like how to get from one place to another. Your AI sends that question to this helper. The helper looks through the Madurai CityBus route and stop information and works out the answer. Then your AI tells you the route, the stops, the fare, or the departure platform in the chat. It can also give you a link to a live map of the route.

What it gives back to you
You get back plain answers in the chat: a route suggestion, a list of stops, a fare amount, or a platform number. For routes, it can also include a link you can click to see a live map. Everything shows up as normal text, so you can read it right away.
Before you start

Good to know
