Real-time bus arrivals in Claude Desktop

Stop guessing when your bus arrives. Use the `get_bus_arrivals` tool to pull current transit times straight into your conversation. This keeps your commute planning accurate by pulling data directly from the official EMT network.

Track BiciMAD bike availability

Checking if a dock is empty is a waste of time. Run `list_bicimad_stations` to see exactly how many bikes are waiting at your nearest stop. It updates the count in real-time so you don't show up to a station only to find it stripped bare.

Plan routes across Madrid

Need to get across the city? The `plan_bus_route` tool maps out your path using the full EMT network data. Just pass your coordinates to the tool, and your agent returns a route you can actually follow.
