InfraNode — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Connects AI assistants to open data across 84 German cities without API keys, offering transit, weather, power prices, and environmental metrics.
claude mcp add --transport http infranode https://mcp.infranode.dev/mcpWhat InfraNode does
InfraNode aggregates public records from German official bodies, including DWD and Mobilithek. It normalizes fragmented structures into standardized responses with snake_case keys and ISO 8601 timestamps. The integration provides 12 read-only tools. Starting with get_city_overview gives agents a live summary alongside all supported data categories for a selected municipality.
An internal Redis cache preserves stale records when upstream providers experience downtime. Calls do not fail during external outages because the server reports the issue under source_status. Location handling is forgiving: queries using Munich or münchen resolve directly to muenchen without manual slug mapping.
What it helps with
- fetch official German weather warnings and temperatures from DWD
- monitor real-time public transit departures and delays
- locate electric vehicle charging stations and parking areas
- check official air quality measurements
Example prompts for the agent
- Call get_city_overview for koeln to inspect transit delays and weather.
- Check live train departures and schedule disruptions in Berlin.
- Find active electric vehicle charging locations in Munich.
