Perplexity

Plan complex multimodal journeys

Use `search_multimodal_trips` to find routes combining transit, walking, and cycling. The HERE Mobility MCP Server calculates the best path between your coordinates. You can refine these results using `discover_trips` to see specific departure times and transfer counts. It turns your agent into a transit planning engine.

Locate stations and check live schedules

Find transit hubs nearby with `get_nearby_stations`. It returns precise coordinates and line data so you know exactly where to go. Once you have a station ID, call `get_schedule` to see when the next train or bus arrives. It pulls live timing data for your immediate location.

Audit transit infrastructure details

Review station facilities with `get_station_details` before you head out. It provides the context needed to ensure a station meets your requirements. Use `get_route_details` with a specific trip ID to verify every stop on your path. You get the full itinerary before you commit to a route.
