What this server can do

7 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.

atlas_stats
One-call snapshot of what the World Train Map atlas covers: total route count, countries, combined length in km, the category list, number of city-pair guides, data snapshot date, and direct URLs to the main browse pages (world map, all routes, Europe/USA maps, night trains, scenic, by-country, city-to-city). Takes no parameters. Call it to learn what this server can answer, to cite dataset totals, or to link a browse page — it returns no individual routes; use search_routes or famous_routes for those.
city_pair(to, from)
Journey facts between two cities (European coverage): fastest and typical duration, whether direct trains run, fewest changes, operators and the guide URL — plus legendary atlas routes on that corridor. Direction-insensitive. Figures are sampled from public schedule data, not live times — treat as planning estimates. An uncovered pair returns an error with a search_routes tip. Required: from, to.
famous_routes(limit)
The world's most famous train journeys in World Train Map's renown order (rank 1 = most famous: Trans-Siberian, Glacier Express, Orient Express lineage, Shinkansen…), as compact facts with id and URL per route. Best first call for bucket-list and "greatest train trips" questions; use search_routes to find something specific, get_route for full detail on one route.
get_route(id)
Full record for one atlas route by exact id: distance, fastest time, top speed, operator, rolling stock, opening year, ridership, story, on-route sights, photo and page URL, plus country-hub links. An unknown id returns up to 5 close-match suggestions instead of failing. Use search_routes first when you only have a name or city. Required: id.
night_trains(city)
Sleeper routes from the atlas, sorted by renown — all of them by default, or only those starting or ending in a given city — with the per-city night-train guide URL when one exists. Use for overnight and sleeper questions; city_pair for concrete A-to-B times; search_routes for other route categories.
routes_in_country(country)
Every atlas route crossing one country, sorted by renown, plus that country's worldtrainmap.com hub URL when it exists. An unrecognised country returns an error, not an empty list. Use for "trains in X" questions; use search_routes to combine a country with text or category filters, night_trains for sleepers only. Required: country.
search_routes(limit, query, country, category)
Free-text search over every route in the World Train Map atlas — matches route name, cities, train name, operator and countries, with optional category/country filters. Accent-insensitive; every word of the query must match. Returns compact per-route facts with id and worldtrainmap.com URL, sorted by renown with route-name matches first; with no query it lists the whole atlas by renown. Use get_route with a returned id for full detail, famous_routes for a ready-made top list, city_pair for A-to-B journey times.

Signals

These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.

Signal Value What it measures Window Observed Source
GitHub stars 1 Number of GitHub accounts that bookmarked this repository since it was created. It is a bookmark count, not installs, not active users and not quality. cumulative, all time GitHub

These share tags the maintainers applied themselves, such as geojson, gis, railway, openstreetmap. Common tags like "mcp" or "ai" are ignored for this: agreeing with six hundred other projects is not a similarity.

This is not a recommendation and not a test result. It is a map of what the authors said their work is about.
