## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

## MCP tools (6)

### `find_stops` (~48 tokens)

Search train stations, bus stops, wharves and light rail stops by name. Returns stop IDs and the modes served.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `result` (array)

### `get_departures` (~106 tokens)

Next departures from a station or stop, with real-time delays and platforms.

stop: a stop name (e.g. "Town Hall Station") or stop ID from find_stops.
modes: only include these modes (e.g. ["train"]). when: 'HH:MM' or 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM' Sydney time; default now.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `modes`
- `stop` (string, required)
- `when`

### `plan_trip` (~138 tokens)

Plan a public transport journey from A to B, using real-time data where available.

origin/destination: a place name (station, address, landmark like "UNSW"), stop ID, or 'lat,lng'.
when: 'HH:MM' or 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM' Sydney time; default now. arrive_by: treat `when` as the arrival deadline.
modes: only use these modes (walking is always allowed).

Input parameters:

- `arrive_by` (boolean)
- `destination` (string, required)
- `limit` (integer)
- `modes`
- `origin` (string, required)
- `when`

### `get_service_alerts` (~81 tokens)

Current disruptions, trackwork and service changes. Filter by mode, line (e.g. "T1", "L2", "333") and/or stop name.

There are usually hundreds of current alerts, so always filter when you can.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `line`
- `mode`
- `stop`

Output parameters:

- `result` (array)

### `get_car_park_availability` (~116 tokens)

Live free spaces at Transport Park&Ride car parks (about 40 car parks at stations across Sydney).

query: text matched against car park name and suburb (e.g. "Tallawong", "Penrith"). near: a place name,
address or 'lat,lng'; only car parks within radius_km are returned, nearest first. With neither, all are listed.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `near`
- `query`
- `radius_km` (number)

### `get_car_park_history` (~82 tokens)

How full a Park&Ride car park was through one day: hourly occupancy, the peak, and when it first filled up.

facility_id: from get_car_park_availability. date: 'YYYY-MM-DD'. Useful for "what time does it usually fill up?".

Input parameters:

- `date` (string, required)
- `facility_id` (string, required)

## Common questions

### What is the NSW Transport MCP server?

NSW Transport is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.fisher98kim/nsw-transport. NSW public transport: trip planning, real-time departures, service alerts, Park&Ride car parks. This page covers its PyPI package (mcp-au-nsw).

### Is the NSW Transport MCP server safe to use?

NSW Transport scores 58 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. 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 NSW Transport MCP server expose?

NSW Transport exposes 6 tools: find_stops, get_departures, plan_trip, get_service_alerts, get_car_park_availability, get_car_park_history. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 571 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the NSW Transport MCP server still maintained?

NSW Transport is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the NSW Transport MCP server under?

NSW Transport declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the NSW Transport MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 15 checks on NSW Transport, covering Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health, Source repository and 11 more. One item could not be completed, a gap on our side rather than a finding about NSW Transport: Malware scan. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to a PyPI package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
