Cursor nutzt das gleiche mcpServers-Schema wie Claude Desktop. Projektkonfiguration schlägt die globale.

How to find the cheapest train between two cities with 12306-mcp

👤 Travelers planning trips within China ⏱ ~5 min beginner

Wann einsetzen: You need to compare train options between two Chinese cities and find the best deal.

Voraussetzungen
  • 12306-mcp server running — npx -y 12306-mcp
Ablauf
  1. Search for available trains
    Search for trains from Beijing to Shanghai tomorrow. Show me all available options with prices and seat types.✓ Kopiert
    → A table of trains with departure times, durations, seat classes, and prices
  2. Filter by preference
    Which of these has second-class seats available and arrives before 6pm?✓ Kopiert
    → Filtered list matching the criteria

Ergebnis: A clear comparison of train options to make a booking decision.

Fallstricke
  • Station names must match 12306's database exactly — Use the station search tool first to confirm the correct station name

Plan a multi-leg train journey with transfers using 12306-mcp

👤 Travelers heading to cities without direct trains ⏱ ~10 min beginner

Wann einsetzen: No direct train exists between your origin and destination.

Voraussetzungen
  • 12306-mcp server running — npx -y 12306-mcp
Ablauf
  1. Query transfer options
    I need to get from Chengdu to Lhasa by train. Find me transfer routes with the shortest total travel time.✓ Kopiert
    → One or more transfer itineraries with intermediate stations and connection times
  2. Check availability on each leg
    Check ticket availability for each leg of the recommended route on March 15.✓ Kopiert
    → Seat availability for both legs of the journey

Ergebnis: A complete multi-leg itinerary with confirmed availability.

Fallstricke
  • Tight transfer windows may cause missed connections — Ask Claude to filter for transfers with at least 2 hours between trains

Fehlerbehebung

Häufige Fehler und Lösungen

Station name not found

Use the station search tool to find the exact name. Chinese station names must match the 12306 database — try both simplified Chinese and pinyin.

Prüfen: Search for the station by keyword first
No trains found for the given date

12306 only sells tickets 15 days in advance. Ensure your date is within the booking window.

Prüfen: Try a date within the next 15 days
Connection timeout

The 12306 API can be slow during peak booking times (e.g., Spring Festival). Retry after a few minutes.

Prüfen: Test with a simple station search to confirm connectivity
