Model Context Protocol (MCP) is how AI assistants call external tools. This server exposes the TrainRouter atlas — every route's distance, fastest time, top speed, operator, story and photo, plus 574 European city-to-city journey guides — so your assistant can plan rail trips with real atlas data and link you to the map.
