Common questions

Is rossbus — buses across Russia safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.2.1) reached the registry 2 months 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?

rossbus-mcp

MCP server for intercity bus travel across Russia — routes, partner prices, departure times, bus stations, transfers, road distances and a price‑per‑km index. 1 000+ cities, 4 500+ routes with tickets on sale.

Remote endpoint (no auth): https://rossbus.ru/mcp — Streamable HTTP. Docs & examples: https://rossbus.ru/agents/ · Site: https://rossbus.ru

Data is real and only real: a dated snapshot of a ticket aggregator's sales, schedules from the same snapshot, road geometry from OSRM. Nothing is estimated. If a route is not in the data it most likely does not exist — use find_transfer.

Connect

# Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http rossbus https://rossbus.ru/mcp

// Cursor / VS Code — mcp.json

{ "mcpServers": { "rossbus": { "url": "https://rossbus.ru/mcp" } } }

Claude / ChatGPT: *Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector* → URL above, no auth.

Tools

tool	what it returns
`get_route(from, to, date?)`	min/max price, trips on sale, departure times, stations, carriers, road km, ₽/km, `buy_url`; if no direct bus — a transfer
`search_routes(from, limit?)`	every destination from a city with price "from", trips and km
`cheapest_destinations(from, max_price_rub?, limit?)`	destinations sorted by ticket price, optionally within a budget
`city_departures(city, limit?)`	departure board: first/last time per direction
`get_station(city)`	bus stations of a city (real names from schedules)
`get_distance(from, to)`	road km (OSRM), drive minutes, whether a direct bus exists
`find_transfer(from, to)`	cheapest one‑transfer option with both legs priced
`price_per_km_stats(region?)`	price‑per‑km index: Russia median, cheapest/most expensive regions, a region's rank

Cities are accepted in Russian («Казань») or as slugs (kazan).

MCP Apps (interactive UI)

get_route, city_departures and cheapest_destinations ship an MCP Apps view (ui://rossbus/app.html): in hosts that support the extension (Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code, Goose) the route card, departure board or budget list renders inline in the chat — rows are clickable and open the route, the buy button opens the partner page. Text-only hosts get the same data as text. The view is a single self-contained HTML built with Vite (ui/).

Example

curl -X POST https://rossbus.ru/mcp \

-H 'content-type: application/json' \ -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call", "params":{"name":"cheapest_destinations","arguments":{"from":"Казань","max_price_rub":700,"limit":3}}}'

{ "from": "Казань", "budget_rub": 700, "found": 8,

"destinations": [ { "to": "Сокуры", "min_rub": 444, "km": 29.2, "rub_per_km": 15.21, "trips": 21, "page": "https://rossbus.ru/buses/kazan/sokury/" } ] }

Buying tickets

rossbus does not sell tickets. buy_url is a partner deep link to the chosen route and date; the agent hands it to the human, the human buys on the partner's site. Ticket price is the same as on the partner. Past or empty dates default to tomorrow.

Run it yourself

The server is a thin wrapper (mcp.js transport, mcp-core.js pure functions) over data/mcp-data.json, a compact snapshot produced weekly by the site pipeline. See data/README.md. npm i && npm start runs it on your own machine, on localhost port 3012 (MCP_PORT to change it); put a reverse proxy in front for TLS. The public instance is https://rossbus.ru/mcp — use that one unless you want your own copy.
