HERE Mobility MCP Tools for Claude Code (8)
These 8 tools become available when you connect HERE Mobility to Claude Code via MCP:
discover_trips
Returns trip details including departure/arrival times, duration, number of transfers, and transport modes. Use origin and destination in lat,lng format. Optionally specify departure or arrival time in ISO 8601 format. Best for planning multimodal journeys. Discover public transit trips between origin and destination using HERE Transit API
get_nearby_stations
More precise than get_stations with customizable radius. Returns station IDs, names, distances, coordinates, and available lines. Use this for comprehensive station discovery in an area. Find all transit stations within a specific radius of coordinates
get_route_details
Requires the trip ID from a discover_trips result plus original origin/destination and departure time. Use this to review full route before traveling. Get detailed route information for a specific transit trip
get_schedule
Useful for checking when the next bus, train, or subway arrives. Requires station ID from get_stations result. Optionally filter by direction (e.g., "northbound", "downtown"). Get departure/arrival schedule for a specific transit station
get_station_details
Requires station ID from station search results. Use this to review station facilities before planning trips. Get detailed information about a specific transit station
get_stations
Returns station IDs, names, coordinates, and available transport lines. Use this to find stations before planning trips. Find transit stations near a GPS coordinate
get_stations_by_name
g., "Central Station", "Times Square"). Returns matching stations with IDs, names, coordinates, and available transport lines. Use this when you know the station name but not exact coordinates. Find transit stations by name
search_multimodal_trips
Modes can include: transit (bus/train/subway/tram/ferry), walk, bicycle, scooter, taxi. Returns multimodal route options with time breakdown per mode. Use this when user wants to combine walking or cycling with public transit for optimal journey. Search trips combining multiple transport modes (transit, walk, bike, scooter)
