Does this MCP provide live bus arrival times?

No, it provides the location and details of bus stops. You should use transit operators' own apps for live arrival data.

Can I find free parking with this capability?

Yes, you can use the find_parking capability and filter by fee to find free spots.

How does the metro station search work?

The find_metro_stations capability fetches the station list and allows you to filter by name or line fragments, such as 'МЦД-1'.

Is the data for taxi stands accurate?

The capability provides data for mapped taxi stands, including the operator and coordinates, but it does not include ride-hailing app data.

What kind of parking types are available?

The MCP includes data for multi-storey, surface, underground, and street-side parking.

Do I need an API key?

No. Every source is keyless and global: OpenStreetMap (Overpass + Nominatim), Open-Meteo and Russian Wikipedia. The MCP defines no credentials.

Does it have live arrival times?

No. The city’s transport portal is not openly reachable from outside Russia, so this is the mapped network. stations, lines, stops. not a real-time feed. Pair it with the official app for live arrivals.

Why do railway stations carry an is_metro flag?

Some stations are tagged both as railway=station and station=subway (transfer hubs). The flag lets the caller keep or drop metro overlaps when listing railway stations.

Can I find parking near a point?

Pass lat + lon (and optionally km, 0.1–25) and the query narrows to a radius instead of the whole city. Do it before a long list. a citywide scan is capped at 200 rows.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

One connector, every AI

OpenStreetMap (Overpass) works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put OpenStreetMap (Overpass) to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
