Before you connect

Questions about TfL.

The practical details behind the request, access and result.

Can the TfL MCP help me plan a trip across London?

Yes, it can generate multimodal routes that combine the Tube, buses, walking, and cycling into a single set of instructions.

Does the TfL MCP show real-time bus arrivals?

Yes, it pulls live data to show you exactly when the next bus is expected to arrive at your specific stop.

Can I use the TfL MCP to check if my car is ULEZ compliant?

Yes, you can check the compliance status and any exemptions for a registered vehicle in London.

Does the TfL MCP include bike sharing info?

Yes, it provides real-time availability for Santander Cycles, including bike counts and empty dock numbers.

Can I check for road closures with the TfL MCP?

Yes, it monitors road disruptions, roadworks, and incidents to help you plan your driving route.

Is the TfL MCP good for finding nearby stations?

Yes, it can search for any station or stop point by name or landmark and provide detailed info on accessibility.

Can my AI check when the next Tube train is arriving at my station?

Yes! First use search_stop_point with the station name (e.g., "Oxford Circus", "King's Cross") to find the stop ID. Then use get_arrivals with that stop ID to get real-time arrival predictions with line names, destinations, time to station in minutes, and platform information. This covers all TfL modes including Tube, bus, DLR, Overground, Elizabeth line, tram, river, and cable-car.

How do I plan a journey from Heathrow Airport to central London using public transport?

Use the get_journey capability with "Heathrow Airport" as the origin and your destination (e.g., "Oxford Circus", "Tower Bridge"). The TfL Journey Planner will return multiple route options combining Elizabeth line, Piccadilly line, Heathrow Express, and connecting Tube/bus services. Each option includes total duration, fare estimates, walking distances, number of interchanges, and step-by-step instructions with station sequences. You can also specify preferences for accessibility or cycling options.

Are there any Tube line closures or major disruptions right now?

Use get_line_status with modes="tube" to check all Tube line statuses, or call it without a mode filter for system-wide status across all transport modes. This returns each line's current status (Good Service, Minor Delays, Severe Delays, Part Suspended, Planned Work) with detailed descriptions and reasons. Always check this before planning any London journey to avoid unexpected disruptions.
