How to Use the EMT Madrid (Open Data) MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I add the EMT Madrid (Open Data) MCP Server to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add --transport http emt-madrid -- in your terminal. This registers the Madrid transit tools in your local /.claude.json configuration file.

Q: Can I pipe the output of EMT Madrid (Open Data) tools in Claude Code?

Yes. Claude Code outputs raw transit data from getbusarrivals or listbicimadstations directly to stdout, allowing you to filter it with standard terminal utilities.

Q: How does Claude Code handle the EMT Madrid (Open Data) login?

The CLI agent executes the login tool to fetch your temporary accessToken. It manages this session token in the background so your terminal queries remain authenticated via the MCP Server.

Pipe Madrid transit data via Claude Code MCP Server

The `get_bus_arrivals` tool fetches real-time bus countdowns for any Madrid stop directly to your command line. Claude Code lets you query these arrivals and pipe the JSON output to grep, jq, or local shell scripts. This CLI-first approach means you check bus times without opening a browser or an IDE. Build terminal aliases that query this MCP Server to monitor your daily commute route.

Script BiciMAD status checks in Claude Code

The `list_bicimad_stations` tool outputs the raw status of Madrid's electric bike docks directly to your terminal session. Claude Code processes this data to help you build automated cron jobs or monitoring scripts. Write a quick bash script that queries the bike docks and alerts you when your local station runs low on bikes. The CLI agent executes these checks headlessly, making it perfect for server-side automation.

Headless route planning via terminal

The `plan_bus_route` tool calculates transit paths across Madrid using coordinates you pass through Claude Code. The terminal agent generates optimized routes and outputs them as clean text or structured JSON. This headless execution is ideal for testing routing algorithms or generating transit reports from the command line. You do not need a heavy GUI to figure out the fastest bus path across Madrid.
