What is the TripGo MCP Server?
What you can do
Connect AI agents to the TripGo platform for intelligent multimodal journey planning:
- Plan trips combining bus, train, subway, tram, ferry, walking, and cycling
- Find nearby transit stops by GPS coordinates with distance and route info
- Search stops by name or address for precise location discovery
- Get real-time departures and arrivals with live delay estimates
- Track vehicle positions on the map with real-time GPS data
- Review route information including all stops and agency details
- Check stop details with accessibility and amenity information
- Access global regions covering major cities worldwide
How it works
- Get your TripGo API key from developer.tripgo.com (free tier available)
- Ask your AI agent to plan trips, check schedules, or track vehicles
- Natural language commands replace complex transit app navigation
- Multimodal planning combining public transit with active transportation modes
Who is this for?
Perfect for urban commuters, multimodal travelers, cyclists, pedestrians, transit riders, accessibility planners, and eco-conscious citizens. Let AI agents find optimal routes combining buses, trains, bikes, and walking. Ideal for daily commuters who want to compare route options, check real-time departures, track incoming vehicles, and plan sustainable journeys without car dependency.
Built-in capabilities (9)
Returns route names, origins, scheduled vs estimated arrival times, and delays. Use this to track incoming vehicles. Requires stop ID. Get upcoming arrivals to a transit stop
Returns route names, destinations, scheduled vs estimated departure times, and delays. Use this to check when your next ride arrives. Requires stop ID. Get upcoming departures from a transit stop
Returns stop IDs, names, coordinates, routes serving each stop, and distance from search point. Use this to find nearest transit options before planning trips. Find transit stops near a GPS coordinate
Each region has an ID, name, and coverage area. Use this first to verify your city is covered before planning trips. Supports major cities across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. List all available transit regions supported by TripGo
Requires route ID. Use this to understand route coverage before planning trips. Get information about a specific transit route
Requires stop ID from nearby stops or search results. Use this to review stop facilities before waiting there. Get detailed information about a specific transit stop
Optionally filter by route ID. Use this for real-time tracking of vehicles on the map. Get real-time vehicle positions for transit vehicles
Combines public transport (bus, train, subway, tram, ferry) with walking and cycling. Returns multiple trip options with departure/arrival times, duration, number of transfers, and step-by-step instructions. Optionally specify travel time and preferred transport modes. Plan a multimodal trip between two coordinates
g., "Times Square", "Main St & 5th Ave"). Returns matching stops with IDs, names, coordinates, routes, and relevance scores. Use this when you know the stop name or intersection but not exact coordinates. Search for transit stops by name or address
Why VS Code Copilot?

Frequently asked questions
Which cities does TripGo cover?
TripGo covers major cities worldwide including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland, Portland, and many more regions. Use the get_regions tool to see the complete list of supported areas. Coverage includes bus, train, tram, ferry, and bike share networks.
Does TripGo provide real-time transit data?
Yes! TripGo integrates real-time GTFS-RT feeds where available. The get_departures and get_arrivals tools return both scheduled and estimated real-time arrivals with delay information. Vehicle positions also provide live GPS coordinates when transit agencies broadcast them.
Can I plan bike-friendly multimodal routes?
Absolutely! Use the plan_trip tool with modes including 'bike' or 'bicycle' to find routes that combine cycling with public transit. TripGo will suggest bike-friendly paths, bike share stations, and transit connections that accommodate bicycles. Perfect for eco-conscious commuters.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
