+
+CTA MCP — Chicago Transit Authority real-time trains ('L') + buses
+
+Part of [Pipeworx](https://pipeworx.io) — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1331+ live data sources.
+
+## Tools
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "cta": {
+      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/cta/mcp"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1331+ 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 Cta data" })
+```
+
+The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

+/**
+ * CTA MCP — Chicago Transit Authority real-time trains ('L') + buses
+ *
+ * Tools:
+ * - cta_train_arrivals: upcoming 'L' trains at a station (Train Tracker ttarrivals)
+ * - cta_train_positions: live trains on one or more lines (ttpositions)
+ * - cta_bus_predictions: bus arrival predictions at a stop (Bus Tracker getpredictions),
+ *   with a find_stop text lookup (getdirections + getstops) when the stop id is unknown
+ * - cta_bus_positions: live buses on a route (getvehicles)
+ *
+ * Auth: combined credential. `_apiKey` = "train_key:bus_key" (split on the FIRST
+ * colon) — Train Tracker key from transitchicago.com/developers, Bus Tracker key
+ * from ctabustracker.com. The gateway injects PLATFORM_CTA_KEY.
+ *
+ * API quirks:
+ * - Train times (arrT/prdt) are "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss" wall-clock in America/Chicago
+ *   with no offset — minutes_away is computed against Chicago "now" via Intl.
+ * - Train errors come back HTTP 200 as ctatt.errCd != "0" with errNm text.
+ * - Bus timestamps are "yyyyMMdd HH:mm" (also Chicago local); predictions carry a
+ *   ready-made countdown `prdctdn` ("3", or "DUE" when imminent, "DLY" when delayed).
+ * - Bus errors come back HTTP 200 as bustime-response.error[].msg (e.g. "No service
+ *   scheduled", "No arrival times", "Invalid API access key supplied"). No-data
+ *   messages are surfaced as a note; auth failures throw.
+ * - Station names are ambiguous ("Western" exists on 5 lines / 5 stations) — the
+ *   embedded table (144 stations from the City of Chicago "CTA L System Information"
+ *   dataset, resource 8pix-ypme, fetched 2026-07-19) disambiguates via the route
+ *   filter, else errors with the candidates.
