Road511 MCP Server capabilities

8 tools
get_clearance

Returns average resolution times by incident type, severity, jurisdiction, and time period. Essential for operational efficiency analysis, resource planning, performance benchmarking, and understanding how quickly traffic incidents are resolved in different regions. AI agents should use this when users ask "what is the median resolution time for incidents in California", "how long do major incidents take to clear in Texas", or need performance metrics for traffic incident management analysis. Get incident resolution time metrics (P50/P95) for operational analysis

get_events

Returns event type, severity (minor, moderate, major, critical, info), jurisdiction, road affected, start and end times, lifecycle status, geometry (line/point), and detailed descriptions. Supports filtering by jurisdiction (e.g., CA), type (incidents, construction, closures, events, advisories), severity, road name, status, and geographic area (bbox, lat/lon/radius). Essential for real-time traffic awareness, route planning, delivery logistics, and commuter decision-making. AI agents should use this when users ask "what incidents are on I-405", "show construction in California", or need traffic event data for route optimization. Get traffic incidents, construction, closures, and events across US and Canada

get_events_geojson

Each feature contains event properties (type, severity, jurisdiction, road, times, status, descriptions) in the properties object and point/line geometry in the geometry object. Supports all the same filtering parameters as get_events. Essential for mapping applications, spatial analysis, GIS integration, and visualization dashboards. AI agents should use this when users need to plot traffic events on a map, perform spatial queries, or integrate with GeoJSON-based mapping tools. Get traffic events in GeoJSON format for mapping and spatial analysis

get_features

Returns type, jurisdiction, coordinates, status, and feature-specific details. Use when users ask about traffic cameras, EV chargers, rest areas, road conditions, or need infrastructure data for mapping. Get road infrastructure features including cameras, road conditions, weather stations, and more

get_features_geojson

Each feature includes properties (type, jurisdiction, status, camera URL, road condition, weather data, EV charger info) and point geometry. Supports all the same filtering parameters. Essential for mapping applications, GIS workflows, spatial databases, and visualization dashboards. AI agents should reference this when users need to plot infrastructure features on a map, integrate with GeoJSON tools, or perform spatial analysis on road infrastructure. Get road infrastructure features in GeoJSON format for mapping and GIS integration

get_health

Returns API availability, response times, data source connectivity (per jurisdiction), last update timestamps, and system alerts. Essential for monitoring API reliability, verifying data freshness, troubleshooting integration issues, and ensuring production system uptime. AI agents should use this as a diagnostic tool when users report missing data, when debugging integration issues, or as a periodic health check before making complex traffic data queries. Check API health and data source status

get_summary

Returns event counts by type and severity, active camera counts, data source status (healthy, degraded, down), refresh rates, and data freshness indicators. Essential for data quality monitoring, system health checks, understanding data coverage by region, and verifying API reliability before production use. AI agents should use this when users ask "how many active incidents are there nationwide", "is the California data source healthy", or need a system-wide overview of Road511 data quality and coverage. Get summary statistics and data source health across all jurisdictions

get_trends

Returns incident counts over time, severity distributions, trend directions (increasing, decreasing, stable), peak incident times, and comparative analysis between regions. Essential for traffic pattern analysis, operational planning, resource allocation, and understanding temporal traffic safety trends. AI agents should use this when users ask "are incidents increasing in Texas this week", "show me traffic incident trends for the past month", or need analytical data for traffic safety reporting. Get traffic incident trends and time-series analytics

Who is this for?

  • Fleet Operators — monitor incidents, plan routes, and track road conditions for logistics optimization
  • Daily Commuters — check traffic incidents and construction before heading out
  • EV Drivers — find charging stations and plan electric vehicle trips
  • Traffic Analysts — study incident trends, resolution metrics, and traffic pattern analytics

Frequently asked questions about the Road511 MCP Server

01

Can my AI check for traffic incidents on a specific highway like I-405 in California?

Yes! Use the get_events tool with road=I-405 and jurisdiction=CA to filter incidents specifically on that highway. You can further filter by type (incidents, construction, closures) and severity (minor, moderate, major, critical). The results include incident descriptions, affected lanes, estimated clearance times, and alternate route suggestions. For mapping visualization, use get_events_geojson to get the same data in GeoJSON format ready for Mapbox or Leaflet.

02

How do I find traffic cameras and EV charging stations along my route?

Use the get_features tool with type=cameras to find all traffic cameras in a jurisdiction, or type=ev_chargers for EV charging stations. You can filter by bounding box (bbox) or by radius from a lat/lon point. For mapping applications, use get_features_geojson which returns data in GeoJSON format ready for direct integration with mapping libraries. Camera features include live stream URLs and road conditions include surface status and weather impacts.

03

Can I analyze traffic incident trends to understand if traffic is getting worse in my state?

Absolutely! Use get_trends with your jurisdiction code (e.g., jurisdiction=CA for California) to get time-series incident data showing whether incidents are increasing, decreasing, or stable over time. Use get_clearance to understand how quickly incidents are being resolved (P50 median and P95 resolution times). Combined with get_summary for current snapshot data, you can build comprehensive traffic safety and efficiency reports. This is perfect for transportation planning, resource allocation, and operational performance benchmarking.
