Why people use Renfe Data
Renfe Data for Real-Time Spanish Railway Tracking
This Connector changes that by giving your agent a direct line to the official data. You can ask it to pull live GPS positions or check for specific delays in one go, getting a clear answer instead of a pile of raw data.
What Vinkius changes
You get real-time Spanish railway data in your chat interface without the manual searching.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about Renfe Data.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can Renfe Data MCP track live train locations?
Yes, it provides real-time GPS coordinates for both commuter and long-distance trains across the Renfe network.
Does Renfe Data MCP work for all Spanish trains?
It specifically covers the Renfe national railway network, including Cercanías, AVE, LD, and MD services.
How do I get the official schedules with Renfe Data MCP?
The Connector can fetch direct download URLs for official GTFS schedules and station lists from the Renfe data portal.
Can I use Renfe Data MCP to find transit datasets?
Yes, it allows your agent to search, list, and inspect metadata for thousands of railway datasets in the official CKAN portal.
Does Renfe Data MCP show real-time delays?
It pulls live trip updates, including delays and cancellations, for both commuter and long-distance train lines.
Is Renfe Data MCP good for building a travel app?
It's ideal for developers because it provides a direct way to integrate live train positions and official schedule data into a custom application.
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 capability. It returns direct download URLs for GTFS schedule packages and CSV/XLSX lists of all Renfe stations.
