It covers roughly 280 metro and MCD stations, 410 railway stations, 12,800 bus stops, and 41,000 mapped parking spaces. Use it to find specific lines, locate nearby parking, or get quick facts about the transit system. ## Overview - **Category:** smart-city - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_8XOSmSQyl9MnbwFcNHbKNqeKWzubgJRac2Pxi3hs/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** moscow, russia, metro, railway, bus, parking, taxi, transit, openstreetmap, keyless ## Description You can use this MCP to pull specific transit data for Moscow directly into your AI client. Instead of searching through maps manually, you can ask your agent to find the nearest metro station, locate a free parking spot, or identify bus stops near a specific coordinate. The data includes everything from the nine main city rail terminals to thousands of street-side and underground parking spaces. If you need to know which metro lines serve a specific area or where the taxi stands are located, this MCP handles the lookup. It's built on OpenStreetMap data, meaning you get precise coordinates for stations, stops, and parking lots. You can also pull quick Wikipedia-style summaries for the metro or the Central Diameters to get context on how the different systems connect. ## Tools ### find_bus_stops Find bus and tram stops across Moscow. It returns the stop name, whether there is a shelter or bench, and the exact coordinates. ### find_metro_stations Locate metro and MCD stations by name or line. It provides the station name, the specific line, wheelchair accessibility info, and coordinates. ### find_parking Search for parking spaces by type or fee. You can filter for free or paid spots, and find multi-storey, surface, underground, or street-side options. ### find_rail_stations Identify railway stations and suburban stops. It includes a flag to tell you if a station also serves as a metro station. ### find_taxi_stands Find mapped taxi stands in the city. It provides the name, the operator, and the central coordinates for the stand. ### transit_system_facts Get a quick summary of a Moscow transit system. It returns a title and a short description in Russian for the metro, MCD, or surface networks. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Which metro stations are on the ring line? ``` **Response:** ``` find_metro_stations with line: "Кольцевая" returns the stations of the ring line. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Where can I park for free near the centre? ``` **Response:** ``` find_parking with fee: "no" and the center coordinates will list the available free parking spots and their types. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Tell me about the Moscow Central Diameters. ``` **Response:** ``` transit_system_facts with system: "mcd" provides a summary of the Central Diameters. ``` ## Capabilities ### Station Lookup Your agent can find specific metro, rail, or bus stops using names or proximity. ### Parking Discovery The AI can identify parking by type, such as underground or multi-storey, and by cost. ### Transit Summaries Your client can retrieve factual overviews of the Moscow transit networks. ### Taxi Stand Mapping The agent can locate official taxi stands and their operators near a specific location. ## Use Cases ### Parking Search Ask your agent to find a free, multi-storey parking garage near a specific address. ### Commute Planning Identify which metro stations are on a specific line to plan a trip. ### Arrival Logistics Find the nearest taxi stand or bus stop once you arrive at a destination. ### System Research Get a quick overview of the Moscow Central Diameters or the metro system. ## Benefits - Access 41,000 mapped parking spaces instantly. - Filter metro stations by specific line names or fragments. - Locate bus stops using proximity searches around coordinates. - Distinguish between metro and railway stations easily. ## How It Works Connect your client to Vinkius to start querying Moscow transit data immediately. 1. Connect your MCP-compatible client to Vinkius. 2. Ask your agent a question about Moscow transit, parking, or stations. 3. The agent invokes the specific tool needed from this MCP. 4. The tool returns coordinates, names, or facts directly to your chat interface. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Does this MCP provide live bus arrival times?** No, it provides the location and details of bus stops. You should use transit operators' own apps for live arrival data. **Can I find free parking with this tool?** Yes, you can use the find_parking tool and filter by fee to find free spots. **How does the metro station search work?** The find_metro_stations tool fetches the station list and allows you to filter by name or line fragments, such as 'МЦД-1'. **Is the data for taxi stands accurate?** The tool provides data for mapped taxi stands, including the operator and coordinates, but it does not include ride-hailing app data. **What kind of parking types are available?** The MCP includes data for multi-storey, surface, underground, and street-side parking. **Do I need an API key?** No. Every source is keyless and global: OpenStreetMap (Overpass + Nominatim), Open-Meteo and Russian Wikipedia. The MCP defines no credentials. **Does it have live arrival times?** No. The city’s transport portal is not openly reachable from outside Russia, so this is the mapped network — stations, lines, stops — not a real-time feed. Pair it with the official app for live arrivals. **Why do railway stations carry an is_metro flag?** Some stations are tagged both as railway=station and station=subway (transfer hubs). The flag lets the caller keep or drop metro overlaps when listing railway stations. **Can I find parking near a point?** Pass lat + lon (and optionally km, 0.1–25) and the query narrows to a radius instead of the whole city. Do it before a long list — a citywide scan is capped at 200 rows.
