Before you connect

Questions about WMATA.

The practical details behind the request, access and result.

Can the WMATA MCP track buses in real-time?

Yes, it provides real-time GPS coordinates for all Metrobus vehicles. You can ask your agent to show you where a specific bus is or list all buses on a particular route.

How do I use the WMATA MCP to check for train delays?

The Connector automatically pulls active rail incidents. You can ask your agent about specific lines, like the Red or Green Line, to see if there are any active delays or power issues.

Can I find parking info using the WMATA MCP?

Yes, you can check parking availability, fees, and station amenities. This is great for planning a park and ride trip from the suburbs into the city.

Does the WMATA MCP show elevator outages?

It does. You can ask about specific stations to see if elevators or escalators are out of service, which is essential for planning accessible trips.

Can I use the WMATA MCP to see all bus routes?

Yes, you can browse all Metrobus routes across DC, Maryland, and Virginia. This helps you find the correct route IDs for planning your journey.

How do I get station entrance details with the WMATA MCP?

You can ask for the entrances of any specific station. The agent will provide street addresses, coordinates, and details on whether that entrance has elevator or escalator access.

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

Yes! Use the get_station_prediction capability with the station code (e.g., "A01" for Metro Center, "B36" for Gallery Place). Your AI will return all upcoming trains with destination names, line colors (Red, Orange, Silver, Blue, Yellow, Green), predicted arrival times in minutes, and car counts. If you do not know the station code, first use get_rail_stations to find it by name. For a system-wide view of all upcoming trains, use get_next_rail without a station code.

How do I check if there are any delays or incidents affecting my Metrorail line?

Use the get_rail_incidents capability to check all active service disruptions across the Metrorail system. This returns incident descriptions, affected stations and lines, incident types (delays, power problems, medical emergencies, track maintenance), and start times. You can also check get_elevator_incidents for elevator and escalator outages that may affect accessibility at your station. For Metrobus service issues, use get_bus_incidents.

Can I track Metrobus vehicles in real-time to see when my bus will arrive?

Yes! Use get_bus_positions to see real-time GPS locations of all Metrobus vehicles, or filter by route ID (e.g., "30N", "X2") to track buses on a specific route. Returns vehicle IDs, route IDs, latitude/longitude, destinations, and schedule deviation in seconds. For detailed route information including stop sequences, use get_bus_route_details with the route ID. Use get_bus_routes first to find route IDs if unknown.
