Check German Train Times and Delays Through Deutsche Bahn Fahrplan
Through an AnythingMCP custom connector, your muse can check German train times in plain words: search a station, read its departures and arrivals with delays and cancellations, and plan a journey between two stations.
What it does
This connector covers German trains, including ICE, IC, EC, regional trains, and S-Bahn services, using an open timetable feed. It adds 5 tools and needs no account and no API key. The muse can search stations by name, show the next departures from a station with the line, destination, platform, planned time, real time, and any delay or cancellation, and do the same for arrivals. It can plan a journey between two stations for a date and time, showing each leg, the changes, the total time, and delays. It can also read the details of one stop, including the lines that serve it. The connector is read-only. It does not book tickets or reserve seats. You buy any ticket the normal way.
How to use it
- Start an AnythingMCP account and add the Deutsche Bahn Fahrplan connector. There are no credentials to enter.
- In Muse, open Settings, then Connectors, and add a custom connector with the MCP server address AnythingMCP gives you. Sign in and approve.
- Ask for the next trains from your station, or for a journey between two stations at a time you name.
- Use the German station name if the first search misses. Big city main stations end in Hbf.
- Check the platform and delay again close to departure, and buy any ticket you need through the usual channels.
What you need
- A Muse account that can add custom connectors
- An AnythingMCP account with the Deutsche Bahn Fahrplan connector added
- No train account and no API key
What to watch for
- Coverage is German trains on the open feed only. It will not help with trains in other countries, buses, or local tickets.
- Journey times are handled in Berlin time, and the muse does not convert time zones. If you are asking from another country, state the time clearly and check which time zone the answer uses.
- A departure board shows the next trains from now, not trains at one exact time you pick. For a later train, ask for a planned journey at that time instead.
- A delay shown for a train is the delay at its last reported stop, which may grow or shrink before it reaches you. Treat the times as guidance, and glance at the station board when you can. The muse prepares, you decide.
