This is an MIT-licensed third-party open-source MCP server that turns 12306's public query capabilities (availability, prices, stations, stopovers, transfers, time) into 7 MCP tools. It supports both Stdio and Streamable HTTP transports, offers a Docker image, and ships operational endpoints such as /health and /schema/tools, with a clean project layout and fairly complete documentation. It is not an official 12306 product and offers no booking operations, and the author states it is for learning and research with commercial use prohibited, making it a good fit for personal trip lookups and MCP development practice but unsuitable as a commercial system with SLA requirements.
12306 MCP Server is a high-performance train ticket query backend built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Through standardized interfaces it relays the official 12306 public data and exposes six query domains: remaining tickets, ticket prices, stations, train stopovers, transfers, and time. It is a third-party MIT-licensed open-source project, not an official 12306 product. It supports both Stdio transport for local clients and Streamable HTTP for remote deployment (default port 8000), with both transports sharing the same core instance, and it can also be deployed via Docker.
