New EFA MCP Server Connects AI Language Model to the EFA Trip Planner

The new EFA MCP server establishes a direct connection between large AI language models (like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude) and the EFA trip planning system for real-time information. Passengers can now easily enter their trip requests as a prompt in the chat.

The key features of this new technology:

• Standardized Technology: communication between the AI model and the trip planner occurs using a standardized model context protocol (MCP).
• Smart Processing: the language model analyzes the chat input, automatically identifies the origin and destination stops, and retrieves the planned trip from the server.
• Optimized Infrastructure: the MCP server provides the AI model with prompts, resources, and tools to quickly present responses that are easy to read.
• Top Efficiency: to avoid overloading the language models, the MCP server uses special EFA requests that only respond with the minimum data requred by the AI model.
