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.

Every tool call from Cline 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 does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
