What is the MCP Swiss MCP server?

MCP Swiss MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Swiss open data MCP server — 68 tools across 20 modules. Zero API keys.

What you get

mcp-swiss is a Model Context Protocol server that gives any AI assistant direct access to Swiss open data — trains, weather, rivers, maps, and companies.

What the assistant can call

Once MCP Swiss is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • search_stations — Find stations/stops by name or location
  • get_connections — Journey planner between any two points
  • get_departures — Live departures from a station
  • get_arrivals — Live arrivals at a station
  • get_nearby_stations — Stations near coordinates
  • get_weather — Current conditions at a MeteoSwiss station
  • list_weather_stations — All ~160 MeteoSwiss stations with metadata
  • get_weather_history — Historical weather data (up to 32 days)
  • get_water_level — River/lake level + temperature (BAFU)
  • list_hydro_stations — All 400+ hydrological monitoring stations
  • get_water_history — Historical hydrology data
  • geocode — Swiss address → coordinates

Configuration and credentials

  • Node.js 20+ - No API keys or accounts needed

Setting it up

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at mcp-swiss on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Choosing this one

This sits in the monitoring and observability group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. MCP Swiss's toolset — search_stations, get_connections, get_departures and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by vikramgorla; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against MCP Swiss's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch MCP Swiss.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the mcp swiss mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects MCP Swiss to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 14 tools (search_stations, get_connections, get_departures, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with MCP Swiss directly.
