Install

How do I install the com.trainrouter/atlas MCP server?

com.trainrouter/atlas is a hosted endpoint at https://trainrouter.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 7 exposed · ~900 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
atlas_stats ~119

One-call snapshot of what the World Train Map atlas covers: total route count, countries, combined length in km, the category list, number of city-pair guides, data snapshot date, and direct URLs to the main browse pages (world map, all routes, Europe/USA maps, night trains, scenic, by-country, city-to-city). Takes no parameters. Call it to learn what this server can answer, to cite dataset totals, or to link a browse page — it returns no individual routes; use search_routes or famous_routes for those.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

city_pair ~120

Journey facts between two cities (European coverage): fastest and typical duration, whether direct trains run, fewest changes, operators and the guide URL — plus legendary atlas routes on that corridor. Direction-insensitive. Figures are sampled from public schedule data, not live times — treat as planning estimates. An uncovered pair returns an error with a search_routes tip.

NameTypeReqDescription
fromstringyesOrigin city, e.g. "London". City name only, no station needed; accent-insensitive.
tostringyesDestination city, e.g. "Paris".

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

famous_routes ~108

The world's most famous train journeys in World Train Map's renown order (rank 1 = most famous: Trans-Siberian, Glacier Express, Orient Express lineage, Shinkansen…), as compact facts with id and URL per route. Best first call for bucket-list and "greatest train trips" questions; use search_routes to find something specific, get_route for full detail on one route.

NameTypeReqDescription
limitinteger–How many top-ranked routes. Default 25, max 100.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_route ~120

Full record for one atlas route by exact id: distance, fastest time, top speed, operator, rolling stock, opening year, ridership, story, on-route sights, photo and page URL, plus country-hub links. An unknown id returns up to 5 close-match suggestions instead of failing. Use search_routes first when you only have a name or city.

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyesExact route id in kebab-case, e.g. "glacier-express" — take it from search_routes, famous_routes or routes_in_country results.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

night_trains ~99

Sleeper routes from the atlas, sorted by renown — all of them by default, or only those starting or ending in a given city — with the per-city night-train guide URL when one exists. Use for overnight and sleeper questions; city_pair for concrete A-to-B times; search_routes for other route categories.

NameTypeReqDescription
citystring–Optional city filter matched against route endpoints (accent-insensitive), e.g. "Vienna".

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

routes_in_country ~114

Every atlas route crossing one country, sorted by renown, plus that country's worldtrainmap.com hub URL when it exists. An unrecognised country returns an error, not an empty list. Use for "trains in X" questions; use search_routes to combine a country with text or category filters, night_trains for sleepers only.

NameTypeReqDescription
countrystringyesCountry name or 2-letter ISO code, e.g. "Japan" or "JP". Accent-insensitive; unambiguous partial names resolve.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search_routes ~220

Free-text search over every route in the World Train Map atlas — matches route name, cities, train name, operator and countries, with optional category/country filters. Accent-insensitive; every word of the query must match. Returns compact per-route facts with id and worldtrainmap.com URL, sorted by renown with route-name matches first; with no query it lists the whole atlas by renown. Use get_route with a returned id for full detail, famous_routes for a ready-made top list, city_pair for A-to-B journey times.

NameTypeReqDescription
categorystring–Only routes in this category.
countrystring–Only routes crossing this country — full name or 2-letter ISO code ("Switzerland" or "CH").
limitinteger–Max routes returned. Default 10, max 50.
querystring–Free text matched against name, cities, train, operator and countries — e.g. "glacier", "Tokyo", "Amtrak". Omit to browse all routes by renown.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

Common questions

com.trainrouter/atlas is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.trainrouter/atlas. The world railway atlas as MCP tools: notable train routes, night trains, journey times. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://trainrouter.com/mcp).

Is the com.trainrouter/atlas MCP server safe to use?

com.trainrouter/atlas scores 88 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the com.trainrouter/atlas MCP server expose?

com.trainrouter/atlas exposes 7 tools: search_routes, get_route, famous_routes, routes_in_country, night_trains, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 900 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the com.trainrouter/atlas MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to com.trainrouter/atlas without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the com.trainrouter/atlas MCP server still maintained?

com.trainrouter/atlas is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 28 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
