NS Travel Information MCP Server

Transform your AI assistant into a Dutch railways expert! This MCP server connects Claude to real-time NS (Nederlandse Spoorwegen) travel information, making it your perfect companion for navigating the Netherlands by train.

Installation

You can install this server in three ways:

1. Using Claude Desktop with NPM Package

Update your Claude configuration file (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ns-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "ns-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "NS_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

You can get an API key from NS API Portal

2. Using Smithery

To install NS Travel Information Server automatically via Smithery:

bash

npx -y @smithery/cli install ns-server --client claude

3. From Source

Clone this repository
Install dependencies:
bash
```
npm install
```
Copy the example environment file:
bash
```
cp .env.example .env
```
Add your NS API key to the .env file:
```
NS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
```

Then update your Claude configuration file:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ns-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/ns-server/build/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "NS_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Make sure to:

Replace /path/to/ns-server with the actual path to your installation
Add your NS API key in the env section. It can be obtained from here https://apiportal.ns.nl/product#product=NsApp

After updating the configuration, restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect.
