## What it does

PakBus connects an AI coding assistant to public transport information across Pakistani cities. It can locate stops by name, map out a journey with directions and fare details, retrieve upcoming departures, and check service changes affecting a city or route. A separate lookup lists the cities covered by its routes.

The remote MCP endpoint is `https://pakbus.app/mcp` and uses Streamable HTTP. No sign-in is needed, and its tools are read-only. Departure times come from published timetables rather than live vehicle tracking, so the server cannot tell you where a bus is at this moment.

PakBus supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Cline, Zed and Gemini CLI. For Claude Code, add it with `claude mcp add --transport http pakbus https://pakbus.app/mcp`. Your assistant sends the server the locations, search terms and departure time included in your request.
