What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

wsdot_get_mountain_passes
Returns current road conditions for all Washington State mountain passes: status, weather, road condition, traction laws, temperature, and elevation. Includes all 16 passes (Snoqualmie, Stevens, White, Blewett, Cayuse, etc.). Use for "is the pass open?", traction law status, or w
wsdot_search_alerts
Returns active WA highway alerts: incidents, construction, closures, and restrictions. Filter by state route ("I-90", "90", "SR 520", or "520" all work), WSDOT region (Northwest, Olympic, Southwest, South Central, North Central, Eastern), or milepost range, matched against the al
wsdot_get_travel_times
Returns current vs. average travel times for named WA highway corridors (I-5, I-90, SR 520, SR 99, I-405, SR 167, etc.). Use for "how congested is I-5?" or commute time estimates. The route filter matches two ways: a route designation ("I-5", "5", "SR 520") returns every corridor
wsdot_get_toll_rates
Returns current dynamic toll rates for WA express lanes and tolled facilities: SR 99 (WSDOT Tunnel), SR 167 HOT Lanes, I-405 Express Lanes, SR 509 tolled segment, and the SR 520 Bridge. Rates are time-banded and change dynamically based on traffic conditions. Filter to one facili
wsdot_get_border_waits
Returns current vehicle wait times at WA→Canada land border crossings: I-5 (Peace Arch, Blaine), SR 543 (Pacific Highway, Blaine), SR 539 (Lynden), and SR 9 (Sumas). Each crossing reports a general-purpose lane and a Nexus lane; SR 539 adds a truck lane and SR 543 adds truck and
wsdot_search_cameras
Returns WSDOT highway camera locations, descriptions, and image URLs. Camera images are copyright WSDOT — only metadata and image URLs are returned, not image bytes. Filter by state route ("I-90", "90", "SR 520", or "520" all work), WSDOT region, milepost range, or words in the c
wsdot_get_ferry_terminals
Returns all WSF ferry terminals with their numeric IDs, names, abbreviations, and coordinates. Call this first to resolve human-readable terminal names (e.g. "Bainbridge Island", "Seattle", "Kingston") to the numeric terminal IDs required by the schedule and space tools. The term
wsdot_get_ferry_routes
Returns the main WSF ferry routes operating on a given date, each with the directed terminal pairs it serves that day (terminalPairs) — departing and arriving terminal IDs and names, which are exactly the pairs wsdot_get_ferry_schedule accepts for that date. Route IDs correspond
wsdot_get_ferry_schedule
Returns departure times for a specific WSF ferry route on a given date. Requires numeric terminal IDs — use wsdot_get_ferry_terminals to resolve terminal names to IDs; terminalPairs on wsdot_get_ferry_routes lists the pairs with service on a date. Set remainingOnly to true to sho
wsdot_get_vessel_locations
Returns real-time AIS positions, speed, heading, ETA, and dock status for all active WSF vessels. Use for "where is the ferry now?", vessel tracking, or checking if a vessel is in service. Position data may lag by 30–60 seconds. Many fields are null for vessels not currently oper
wsdot_get_terminal_space
Returns real-time drive-up and reservable vehicle space available at WSF terminals for upcoming sailings. Use for "will I make the ferry?" or "how full is the next sailing?" questions. Optionally filter to a specific terminal by ID (use wsdot_get_ferry_terminals for the ID). driv
wsdot_get_ferry_alerts
Returns active WSF ferry service disruptions, delays, and bulletins. Each alert carries a one-line summary plus the bulletin title, kind, and full body — the body is where detail such as a replacement sailing appears. Each alert includes impacted route IDs — cross-reference with

Common questions

Is Wsdot MCP Server safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: WSDOT_ACCESS_CODE

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.5.0) reached the registry 10 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Capability reference

`skill://wsdot-guide/SKILL.md` resource

Ferry trip guidance for combining schedules, service alerts, live vehicle space, and vessel positions. Also included in plugin installs as wsdot-guide.

`wsdot_get_mountain_passes` tool

No input — current conditions for all 16 WA mountain passes (Snoqualmie, Stevens, White, Blewett, Cayuse, and others) in one call
Each pass carries road condition, weather, temperature, elevation, and up to two directional traction/travel restrictions

`wsdot_search_alerts` tool

Optional stateRoute, region (Northwest, Olympic, Southwest, South Central, North Central, Eastern), and startMilepost / endMilepost — an alert matches when its extent overlaps the range; omit all for every statewide alert. Ordered by alertId, paged (default 20, max 500)
An unknown region fails as invalid_region and a start above the end as invalid_milepost_range, each with a recovery hint

`wsdot_get_travel_times` tool

Optional route — a route ("I-5", "SR 520") returns every corridor measured on it, any other text matches corridor names ("Everett"); paged (default 50, max 500)
Each corridor reports current and average minutes — current above average means congestion, and the delta is the delay. A reversible express-lane corridor closed in the queried direction omits its figures rather than reporting zero

`wsdot_get_toll_rates` tool

Covers SR 99 (WSDOT Tunnel), SR 167 HOT Lanes, I-405 Express Lanes, the SR 509 tolled segment, and the SR 520 Bridge. Optional stateRoute matches the posted designation ("I-405", "SR 520"); a route with no tolled facility returns an empty page whose notice names the tolled routes. Paged (default 50, max 500)
Each row leads with its startLocationName → endLocationName segment. stateRoute is the feed's bare zero-padded number ("099") and travelDirection the feed's code, which SR 99, SR 509, and SR 520 fix per facility — read direction from the segment's ends

`wsdot_get_border_waits` tool

No input — eleven lane entries in crossings[] across I-5 (Peace Arch), SR 543 (Pacific Highway), SR 539 (Lynden), and SR 9 (Sumas): a general-purpose and a Nexus lane at each, plus truck lanes at SR 539 and SR 543
crossingName is a route code (I5, SR543Trucks) and location.description the readable name; a lane with no current data omits waitTimeInMinutes

`wsdot_search_cameras` tool

Optional stateRoute, region code (NW, SW, OL, ER, SC, NC, OS for the Oregon TripCheck cameras, WA for airport cameras), startMilepost / endMilepost, and titleContains (every word, any order). Ordered by cameraId, paged (default 50, max 500)
Returns metadata and image URLs, not image bytes (camera images are copyright WSDOT). An unknown region fails as invalid_region and a reversed range as invalid_milepost_range

`wsdot_get_ferry_terminals` tool

No input — all 20 WSF terminals, each with its numeric ID, abbreviation, and latitude/longitude
Resolves names ("Bainbridge Island", "Seattle") to the IDs wsdot_get_ferry_schedule and wsdot_get_terminal_space take

`wsdot_get_ferry_routes` tool

Optional tripDate (YYYY-MM-DD, default today); a date outside the range WSF has published fails as invalid_date stating that range
Each route carries its ID (the impactedRouteIds of wsdot_get_ferry_alerts), abbreviation, description, and terminalPairs — the departing → arriving pairs wsdot_get_ferry_schedule accepts that day

`wsdot_get_ferry_schedule` tool

Requires departingTerminalId and arrivingTerminalId (a pair from terminalPairs on wsdot_get_ferry_routes); optional tripDate (default today) and remainingOnly (future departures only, today only)
Each sailing carries departureTime / arrivalTime in ISO 8601 UTC (tripDate is the Pacific service day), vesselId, loadingRule, and indexes into the pair's annotations. There is no cancellation flag — WSF drops a cancelled sailing, so check wsdot_get_ferry_alerts
A pair with no schedule that day fails as invalid_terminal_pair and a date with none as invalid_date, never as an empty schedule

`wsdot_get_vessel_locations` tool

No input — position, speed, heading, ETA, and dock status for every active WSF vessel
Positions may lag 30–60 seconds; many fields are absent for a vessel not in service, and one between assignments reports opRouteAbbrev as none reported

`wsdot_get_terminal_space` tool

Optional departingTerminalId (from wsdot_get_ferry_terminals), else every terminal; paged by terminal (default 5, max 20), with every sailing of a returned terminal included
driveUpSpaceCount is the key field — zero means the drive-up lane is full, and an oversubscribed sailing's negative upstream count floors to zero. arrivingTerminalIds chains into wsdot_get_ferry_schedule

`wsdot_get_ferry_alerts` tool

No input — active WSF disruptions, delays, and bulletins, each with alertTitle, a one-line alertDescription, and the full bulletinText (detail such as a replacement sailing appears only in the body)
impactedRouteIds map to wsdot_get_ferry_routes; affectsAllRoutes: true marks a fleet-wide alert, whose empty route list then means every route

Features

Built on @cyanheads/mcp-ts-core: stdio and Streamable HTTP transports, pluggable auth (none / jwt / oauth), swappable storage (in-memory, filesystem, Supabase, Cloudflare KV/R2/D1), structured logging with optional OpenTelemetry tracing.

WSDOT-specific:

Dual API integration — WSDOT Traffic API and WSF Ferry API share a single WSDOT_ACCESS_CODE
Cross-tool linking built into tool descriptions — ferry tools point to wsdot_get_ferry_terminals / wsdot_get_ferry_routes for ID resolution before a lookup
Normalized response shapes across both APIs — sparse upstream fields surface as optional rather than omitted or defaulted
Stable pagination — the alert and camera feeds return the same set in more than one row order upstream, so results are sorted by ID to keep a given offset reproducible
Paged list tools take offset / limit, and a page also ends early at a 24,000-byte response budget, with the notice naming the next offset
Route filters take the forms people write — "I-90", "90", "090", "SR 520" — and every text filter accepts at most 200 characters

Agent-friendly output:

Typed failure — invalid_access_code and api_unavailable errors carry an explicit recovery hint distinguishing configuration faults from transient upstream ones
driveUpSpaceCount: 0 and congestion delta fields (delayInMinutes) give agents actionable signal without string parsing
Plain text from HTML — alert descriptions, sailing notes, and bulletins arrive from upstream as HTML and are returned as text, with links inline as link text (url)
Partial data preserved — sparse upstream payloads surface null/undefined rather than synthetic defaults (e.g. an omitted waitTimeInMinutes, an absent arrivalTime)
content[] and structuredContent carry the same values, not just the same fields
