# sbb-mcp
> **This package is now an alias for [`swisstrip-mcp`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/swisstrip-mcp).**
> New users should install `swisstrip-mcp` directly: it is the canonical SwissTrip MCP client.
> The `sbb-mcp` name continues to work — it spawns `swisstrip-mcp` as a child process — so existing integrations don't break.
---
Independent MCP client by SwissTrip — connects AI assistants to Swiss Federal Railways (SBB / CFF / FFS) data: train schedules, station search, ticket prices, and direct ticket purchase links via SBB's SMAPI.
Thin client. All SBB API access, ticketing, and profile sync run on the hosted SwissTrip server at `https://mcp.swisstrip.app/mcp`.
## Install (recommended: use the canonical name)
### Claude Desktop
Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"swisstrip": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "swisstrip-mcp"]
}
}
}
```
### Cursor
Add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"swisstrip": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "swisstrip-mcp"]
}
}
}
```
### ChatGPT (Plus / Pro / Business / Enterprise with Developer Mode)
No install required. Add a custom connector pointing at:
```
https://mcp.swisstrip.app/mcp
```
### Existing `sbb-mcp` configurations
Already running `npx -y sbb-mcp`? Nothing changes — it still works and forwards to the same hosted service. To migrate to the canonical name, swap `sbb-mcp` → `swisstrip-mcp` in your client config when convenient.

## Why was this renamed?
`sbb-mcp` started as the canonical npm package. To protect against future trademark conflicts (the SBB acronym belongs to Schweizerische Bundesbahnen) the canonical implementation now lives at [`swisstrip-mcp`](https://github.com/Fabsbags/swisstrip-mcp), which is registered under the SwissTrip™ trademark. `sbb-mcp` and 8 other npm names (`sbb-mcp-official`, `sbb-cff-ffs-mcp`, `swiss-rail-mcp`, `swiss-railways-mcp`, `swiss-train-mcp`, `swisstrip`, `swisstrip-ai`, `swisstrip-server`) are 1-line spawners that depend on `swisstrip-mcp`.
This means: if any one of the SBB-themed names ever needs to be transferred or removed, every existing integration keeps running unchanged because they all forward to the canonical `swisstrip-mcp`.
