Server instructions

Real-time NYC transit data: subway, bus, NYC Ferry, LIRR/Metro-North rail, and Citibike. All tools are read-only, require no authentication, and accept station/stop IDs or names. If a station or stop is ambiguous, call the matching search tool first (mta_search_stations, bus_search_stops, ferry_search_landings, rail_search_stations, bike_search_stations). Data comes from MTA GTFS-RT feeds and is typically less than a minute old; lastUpdated timestamps are included in responses. The generic search/fetch tools provide connector-style lookup across stations and line status.
