European trains for AI agents: 5 countries, free, live

Faceabot gives AI agents free MCP train tools for 5 countries: Belgium, Switzerland, Norway, Finland, Ireland. No key, no sign-up, official data from each country, live (times, platforms, delays, cancellations). Each tool has its own MCP endpoint; an agent can also just ask solve_need "train from X to Y" at https://faceabot.com/api/mcp.

Simplest

Connect one endpoint, the country you need, to your assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Le Chat…). Example for Ireland:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "faceabot-trains-ireland": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://faceabot.com/tools-mcp/ie-rail"
    }
  }
}

Or connect https://faceabot.com/api/mcp: solve_need picks the right country by itself. Connection guide
