MCP Server Function Overview

This document aims to introduce the main functions of the MCP server and the tools used for configuring these functions, which are primarily designed for train ticket information query services. By calling different API interfaces, users can obtain detailed train schedules, ticket prices, and seat information.

Function Overview

The train-ticket-query server mainly provides three train ticket query services tailored to different needs. These include ticket availability queries, station-to-station journey queries, and specific train information queries. Each tool is designed with specific parameters to meet user query requirements and returns structured data results, making it easy for further processing or display to end-users. This system is suitable for application developers or travel planning platforms that need to integrate train ticket-related information.
