Overview

The Singapore LTA MCP Server is an MCP server designed to provide real-time access to transportation information from Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA) DataMall API, including bus arrivals, traffic conditions, and train service updates.

To use the Singapore LTA MCP Server, install it via Smithery using the command: npx -y @smithery/cli install @arjunkmrm/mcp-sg-lta --client claude. You will also need to register for an API key from the LTA DataMall.

  • Real-time bus arrival information - Updates on MRT/LRT station crowding levels - Alerts for train service disruptions - Availability of parking lots in real-time - Estimated travel times on expressways - Current traffic incidents updates
  1. Commuters checking bus arrival times before heading to the bus stop.
  2. Travelers monitoring MRT station crowding to avoid peak hours.
  3. Drivers looking for real-time traffic updates to plan their routes.
  4. Users checking carpark availability before arriving at their destination.
