Documentation Overview
Bay Area Transit MCP Servers
Two Cloudflare Workers providing MCP (Model Context Protocol) access to BART and SF Muni real-time transit data. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Poke, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.
You don't need to deploy anything. Just point your MCP client at the hosted endpoints below.
Live Endpoints
- BART:
https://bart-mcp.srivastsh.workers.dev/mcp— no auth, just connect - Muni:
https://muni-mcp.srivastsh.workers.dev/mcp— pass your free 511.org API key viax-api-key-511header
These run on Cloudflare Workers' free tier (100k requests/day). Since the Muni server uses BYOK auth, each user's 511 rate limit is isolated to their own key.
Quick Start
BART (no auth required)
Just add the URL to your MCP client. No API key needed.
Muni (BYOK)
- Get a free 511.org API key at https://511.org/open-data/token
- Pass it via the
x-api-key-511header in your MCP config
Client Configuration
Claude Desktop / Claude Code
Poke
One-click setup: BART recipe | Muni recipe
Or add manually as a remote MCP server:
- URL:
https://bart-mcp.srivastsh.workers.dev/mcporhttps://muni-mcp.srivastsh.workers.dev/mcp - For Muni, set custom header
x-api-key-511to your 511 key
Cursor / Windsurf / stdio-only Clients
Use mcp-remote as a bridge:

Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+

wranglerCLI:npm install -g wrangler
BART Worker
The public BART demo key (MW9S-E7SL-26DU-VV8V) is baked into wrangler.toml. No secrets needed.
Muni Worker
Optionally set a fallback 511 key (used when no header key is provided):
Architecture
- Runtime: Cloudflare Workers (V8 isolates)
- Transport:
WebStandardStreamableHTTPServerTransport(stateless, one server per request) - Auth: BYOK via request headers, optional env secret fallback
- Validation: Zod schemas for all tool inputs
- CORS: Enabled for all origins
- API Sources: api.bart.gov (BART), api.511.org (Muni/511)
