What is the Renfe Data MCP Server?
Connect to the Renfe Data portal to monitor the Spanish railway network in real-time. This server provides comprehensive access to both live operational data and static historical datasets through the official CKAN infrastructure.
What you can do
- Real-time Tracking — Get precise GPS locations and movement status for Cercanías (commuter) and Long Distance (AVE/LD/MD) trains.
- Trip Updates & Delays — Monitor live delays, cancellations, and platform changes to keep travelers informed.
- CKAN Portal Access — List, search, and inspect metadata for thousands of railway datasets and resources.
- Service Alerts — Retrieve real-time information on accessibility issues, track incidents, or bus substitutions.
- Static Schedules — Fetch direct download URLs for GTFS schedules and station lists for offline analysis.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Renfe Data API Key
- Start querying Spanish railway data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Logistics & Transport Analysts — track fleet movements and analyze network performance metrics.
- Travel App Developers — integrate real-time Spanish train data and GTFS schedules into custom applications.
- Data Scientists — access open government data for urban mobility research and visualization.

Why Claude Code?
Claude Code registers Renfe Data as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 11 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Renfe Data data drives decisions without human intervention.
- —
Single-command setup:
claude mcp addregisters the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart - —
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
- —
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Renfe Data tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
- —
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

Every tool call from Claude Code to the Renfe Data MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How often are the real-time train positions updated?
It depends on the service: Cercanías positions (rt_vehicle_positions_cercanias) update every 20 seconds, while Long Distance trains (rt_vehicle_positions_ld) update every 15 minutes.
Can I check for delays or platform changes for a specific trip?
Yes. Use rt_trip_updates_cercanias or rt_trip_updates_ld to get live information on delays, cancellations, and platform assignments across the network.
Where can I find the static GTFS files for schedules?
You can use the get_static_datasets tool. It returns direct download URLs for GTFS schedule packages and CSV/XLSX lists of all Renfe stations.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
