Summary
German train timetable with live delays: search stations, list departures and arrivals with real-time delay, track and cancellation status, and plan journeys between any two stations. Runs on MOTIS over the open gtfs.de timetable (ICE, IC, EC, regional trains, S-Bahn) — no bahn.de scraping, no API key.

Deutsche Bahn Fahrplan
German train timetable with live delays: search stations, list departures and arrivals with real-time delay, track and cancellation status, and plan journeys between any two stations. Runs on MOTIS over the open gtfs.de timetable (ICE, IC, EC, regional trains, S-Bahn) — no bahn.de scraping, no API key.
Setup
This connector queries a MOTIS routing engine loaded with the open German train timetable (gtfs.de, all long-distance and regional trains incl. S-Bahn) and a live GTFS-RT feed for delays, platform changes and cancellations. AnythingMCP Cloud runs its own instance; self-hosters run the bundled motis service (deploy/motis/README.md) or point MOTIS_URL at any MOTIS. No API key.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Prerequisites: MOTIS_URL — on AnythingMCP Cloud this is filled in for you (the cloud runs its own MOTIS). Self-hosted, start the bundled engine with COMPOSE_PROFILES=motis and MOTIS_INTERNAL_URL=http://motis:8080 in .env (about 12 MB of open gtfs.de timetable, refreshed weekly), or point it at any MOTIS instance you run.
Install the connector locally

docker compose up -d
Open http://localhost:3000/connectors/store, pick Deutsche Bahn Fahrplan and paste in the env vars listed under Prerequisites.
