Why people use CityBikes (Bike Sharing)
CityBikes for Real-Time Urban Mobility Data
This Connector removes those hurdles by giving your agent direct access to live micromobility data from hundreds of global networks. Instead of manual searching, you can just ask your agent to find the nearest available dock in Paris or see how many electric bikes are left in a specific neighborhood in New York. It pulls real-time numbers on station names, coordinates, and current bike counts. This means you can plan your route or check availability in seconds without ever leaving your chat interface.
What Vinkius changes
You get instant, real-time bike availability data from hundreds of cities without ever leaving your chat interface.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about CityBikes.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
What cities does the CityBikes MCP support?
It covers bike-sharing networks in over 400 cities worldwide. You can ask your agent to find networks in almost any major urban area.
Can I use CityBikes MCP to find empty docks?
Yes. The Connector pulls live data that shows exactly how many bikes are available and how many empty docks are waiting for a return.
Does CityBikes MCP let me book a bike?
No, this Connector provides data only. You can't use it to pay for a ride or unlock a bike, but it tells you exactly where the bikes are.
Is there a limit to the networks I can see?
No, you can use the list_networks capability to see all the global networks supported by the CityBikes API in one go.
How do I get the coordinates for a bike station?
When you check a network, the Connector provides precise coordinates and names for every station, which your agent can use to show you locations.
Can I use CityBikes MCP for research?
It's great for data analysis. You can pull real-time urban mobility numbers from hundreds of networks to study city bike trends.
How can I find the specific ID for a bike network in my city?
Use the list_networks capability. You can ask the agent to filter the results by city or country name to find the correct id (e.g., 'velib' for Paris or 'citibike-nyc' for New York).
Does the server show the exact number of available bikes at a station?
Yes! By using the get_network capability with a specific network_id, the agent retrieves real-time station data, including the count of free bikes and empty docks.
Is the data updated in real-time?
The data is fetched directly from the CityBikes API, which aggregates live feeds from various operators. The refresh rate depends on the individual bike-sharing provider's own API updates.
