[AIbase Report] In October 2023, the new train ticket inquiry backend system developed by developer drfccv - 12306MCP Server was officially launched. This project is built based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard, specifically designed to address complex and large-scale train ticket information inquiry needs. It supports real-time queries of core data such as ticket availability, trains, stations, and transfer information, and is released to the public in an open-source format.
With the continuous rise in domestic tourism and travel enthusiasm, the limitations of traditional train ticket inquiry platforms in terms of response speed and data organization have become increasingly evident. The 12306MCP Server, leveraging the efficient FastAPI architecture, achieves second-level response, providing users and developers with standardized and modular inquiry services. At the same time, the system ensures efficient data transmission through the Streamable HTTP transmission protocol, and includes an intelligent time tool that supports relative date conversion, significantly improving the accuracy of inquiries.
The main features of 12306MCP Server include: 1. Real-time ticket availability, train, seat, and schedule inquiries 2. Management and fuzzy search of national station information 3. Transfer and stop information retrieval 4. Intelligent time input assistance tool 5. Full compatibility with MCP2025-03-26 standard, supporting development integration and smart assistant access
The system also provides detailed deployment guides and API documentation, supporting local and Docker environment deployment, offering convenient train ticket inquiry interfaces for AI products, robots, and automation platforms.
It is worth noting that the developer emphasized that this project is only for learning, research, and technical exchange use, and is prohibited from commercial use. It does not store or spread any official 12306 data, ensuring compliance with usage regulations.
