+# mcp-bts
+
+U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) — data.bts.gov open-data portal (Socrata platform).
+
+Part of [Pipeworx](https://pipeworx.io) — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 693+ live data sources.
+
+## Tools
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "bts": {
+      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/bts/mcp"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 693+ data sources:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "pipeworx": {
+      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Using with ask_pipeworx
+
+Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
+
+```
+ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Bts data" })
+```
+
+The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

+ * U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) — data.bts.gov open-data portal (Socrata platform).
+ *
+ * Keyless: Socrata serves moderate traffic without an app token, so no API key is required.
+ * BTS publishes federal transportation data: aviation (passenger counts, on-time performance,
+ * air fares, airline financials), freight movement, transit ridership, border crossings,
+ * highway/transportation safety, and the Monthly Transportation Statistics time series.
+ *
+ * Workflow:
+ *   1. search_datasets(q)         -> find datasets + their Socrata 4x4 ids (e.g. "crem-w557")
+ *   2. dataset_columns(datasetId) -> learn field names/types to $select/$where on
+ *   3. query_dataset(datasetId)   -> pull rows with SoQL ($select/$where/$order/$group/$q)
