ViaFrei

Germany's traffic, trains, charging and roads — in your AI assistant.

Ask in plain words. Get the live answer, with its source.

claude mcp add --transport http viafrei https://mcp.viafrei.de/mcp

Free. No account, no API key, no sign-up. One line and your assistant knows whether the A8 is jammed, whether your train, bus or tram is late, where the nearest fast charger is (and whether it is free, where the operator publishes that), which hydrogen station takes a lorry, whether the lift at your station works and whether the road ahead is forecast to freeze — from official German open data, live, with the source named in every answer. And every German motorway has a live page of its own on viafrei.de, with a map.

Beta. ViaFrei is being stabilised: sources are still being added, and answers and coverage can change. The answers are written by an AI assistant from our data, and AI can make mistakes, so check anything important (a closure, a departure, a price) against the source each answer names.

New in 2.3.2: answers that name the place they used, one line per place, and faster lookups. Since 2.2.14, from a 1,000-question test round:

The place used is named. Asked for "Munich", every place tool answers "Answering for München (you asked "Munich")." on its first line; the same for a station or stop matched under another spelling.

Every label offered resolves. A which-one list's labels ("Wolfen (Bitterfeld)", "AS Cloppenburg (A1)") answer in one call when handed back.

One place, one line. In Oschatz, a works site carried by two of Saxony's feeds (its closure system and its roadworks feed) reads once: "Bahnhofstraße · S30 — Oschatz; Erneuerung Gehweg (laufend, 31.08.2026–30.10.2026; 0,3 km)".

No false all-clear. check_autobahn_traffic for a motorway number we hold no stretch of says so and names the nearest real numbers, instead of "nothing reported".

Dense cities read better. check_road_status {place: "Kiel"} leads with "im Umkreis von 3 km 61 Meldungen, davon 11 Sperrungen", then the whole 25 km.

A near miss on an address helps. find_address for "Heisfeldr Straße 10, Leer" says the town holds addresses but none on that street, and suggests "Heisfelder Straße (26789 Leer (Ostfriesland)) — 114 kartierte Adressen".

Watches say what they watch. watch_situation takes the person's words in request; a jam alone opens no watch, because a road watch reports closures and restrictions, not jams.

Every source is listed, with what it feeds and what we hold back, in SOURCES.md. The CHANGELOG has the whole list.

🧳 What you can ask

You don't need to know any tool names. Ask the way you'd ask a friend who happens to have every German traffic feed open. German or English; the answer comes back in the language you asked in.

What the answers cover, honestly. Live traffic is the motorways, plus the measured traffic state of Hamburg's and Bonn's streets and the quarter-hour counts of Hamburg's counting sites (a count is a volume, never a jam). Closures and roadworks also cover Land roads in Niedersachsen, Baden-Württemberg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Sachsen and Thüringen, federal roads there and in Schleswig-Holstein, Bayern and Berlin, the city streets of Hamburg and Bremen, the works the city and Land portals publish (Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, Brandenburg, Freiburg, Karlsruhe, Frankfurt, Berlin, Duisburg, Aachen, Ingolstadt, Köln, Münster, Dortmund, Stuttgart, München), the traffic reports some Länder and cities publish (Baden-Württemberg, Schleswig-Holstein, Berlin, Hamburg, Köln, Hannover, Kassel, Leipzig, Rüsselsheim am Main), and the state of Schleswig-Holstein's large bridges; other city streets are not covered. Street detail around a place (signed detours, signal installations, on-street bays, loading bays, border crossings, winter service, pedestrian-zone entrances) exists only where a city or Land publishes it, and the answer names which. Lorry restrictions by place cover North Rhine-Westphalia's towns (SEVAS), Köln, Dresden, the Frankfurt RheinMain region (ivm) and Bremen; elsewhere the answer says it holds no data, which is never a clearance, and the long-lorry network covers the whole country. Departures cover every German stop from the timetable; a live delay appears where a realtime feed carries that trip, and otherwise the answer says the time is the plan. Live parking and charging occupancy exist only where the operator publishes them, and an answer never reads "no data" as free. Fuel prices cover the stations we watch, not all of Germany. A charger's live status counts as current only while it is younger than its feed's own window; older, it is shown with its time as possibly out of date. Hydrogen stations are H2 Mobility's published list: pumps and opening hours, but no availability, price or working state, so check before you drive. Places and addresses come from OpenStreetMap, so what is not mapped there cannot be found, and ratings are not part of it. A watch lives in the conversation that opened it: the server keeps every change there, and your assistant shows it when you ask, or on its own if your client supports MCP notifications. Nothing is sent by e-mail or SMS. Up to 10 watches per conversation, each for up to 24 hours (3 by default), and a road is watched as a whole, not one section of it.

💬 Real answers

These came back from the production server at https://mcp.viafrei.de/mcp. They are not mock-ups. The first nine were asked of server 2.2.14 on 2026-10-20 between 06:00 and 06:16 Berlin time; an "As of" time earlier than that is the time the source was last read. The next seven were asked of server 2.2.6 on 2026-10-19 between 07:34 and 07:45 Berlin time, the day it went live. The next two were asked of server 2.1.25 on 2026-10-17 at 18:38 Berlin time, an hour after it went live. The next three were asked of server 2.1.17 on 2026-10-14, around 22:40 Berlin time, minutes after it went live. The next three were asked of server 2.1.8 on 2026-10-13 around 22:40, three more of server 2.1.5 that afternoon, between about 14:50 and 16:20, and the others of server 2.0.10 that morning around 06:41. Those were asked again of server 2.1.17 on 2026-10-14 around 22:43 and answer in the same shape; their figures, and the frost warning, belong to the moment they were captured. Each one shows the first lines of what the tool returned, and the source line as it was sent, shortened where marked.

Hamburg Hbf: 1 jam report, 176 closures, 291 restrictions, 2 planned roadworks sites, 13 current roadworks sites per BASt — window until 2026-10-21.
I do not hold federal and Land roads (Bundes-, Landes-/Staatsstraßen) for Hamburg: for those, this answer is no all-clear.
Measured traffic state (Hamburg, BVM (traffic state), as of 06:00) within 10 km: 952 segments: jammed traffic: 3, slow traffic: 35, dense traffic: 914 — nearest segment (jammed traffic or slow traffic) 1.1 km away, main road; the source does not list free-flowing segments — a segment it does not list is flowing or not measured.
Counted traffic within 1.0 km (BVM counting sites (Hamburg)): counting site 0330, cross-section 4 (0.1 km), 05:30–05:45: no cross-section total (not every direction counted); by direction: west to east 37 · counting site 0331, cross-section 3 (0.2 km), 05:30–05:45: 53 motor vehicles; by direction: northeast to southwest 34, southwest to northeast 19. Further cross-sections in reach: 2. A count is a volume per quarter hour, not a statement about congestion or free flow.
• Traffic jam (Stau) A1: Provider text (German): "A1 | Tunnel Moorfleet - Norderelbbrücke · Lübeck -> Hamburg" (since 05:26; +10 min; 7.6 km away)
…
Signed motorway detours nearby (signs 460/455): U 26 (nearest section: Bürgerweide; 1.3 km); U 85 (nearest section: Heidenkampsweg; 1.3 km) — signage context, not a route recommendation
Signal installations nearby (16 within 500 m): 11 at junctions, 5 at pedestrian crossings; nearest: Mönckebergstraße/Steintorwall (0.1 km)

New in 2.2.12 (the counts) and 2.2.13 (the detours and the signal installations). A detour is named by its number and its nearest street, and always as the signs you will see, never as a route we recommend. A bus registration at a signal is counted only where the city records one, and a zero is never said. Edited: the first line (a note that one roadworks source is 13 days old), two of three entries, the sources that answered and the source line omitted.

Parking around Hamburg, Rathaus (within 10 km), nearest first:
1. Europa-Passage — Car park (Parkhaus), 0.2 km, 690 spaces, no occupancy published
2. Alter Wall / BUCERIUS-Passage — Car park (Parkhaus), 0.3 km, 210 spaces, 95 free (as of 06:00)
3. Große Reichenstraße — Car park (Parkhaus), 0.3 km, 850 spaces, 488 free (as of 06:06)
…
On-street parking bays nearby (the city's register) (168 bays within 300 m): Rathausstraße (for disabled badge holders; 1 bay; 0.1 km); Rathausstraße (electric vehicles charging only Mon–Sat 09:00–20:00; at most 180 min; 1 bay; 0.1 km); Rathausstraße (pay and display; 2 bays; 0.1 km) — the city publishes no occupancy — whether a bay is free is not known; the signs on site apply

New in 2.2.13. The bays come from the Landesbetrieb Verkehr's register of public parking space: a street's bays under one rule set are one line, with the rule, the hours and the maximum stay. Stopping bans and personal disabled bays are never counted or offered. The same answer also lists the city's coach places, with the city's own remark quoted, and the OpenStreetMap car parks in a block of their own. Edited: two car parks, the OpenStreetMap and coach blocks and the source line omitted.

Lorry restrictions within 5 km of Dom, Köln (NRW.Mobidrom (SEVAS)): 387 — No lorries 177, Height limit 121, Cycle street 46, Weight limit 38, No hazardous goods 2, Length limit 2, No vehicles 1. Nearest:
- No lorries — Marzellenstraße, Köln (0 km)
- Cycle street — Trankgasse, Köln (0.1 km)
- Height limit 4 m — Tunisstraße, Köln (0.2 km)
Lorry priority routes: 4 in range, the nearest 0.2 km away.
Lorry restrictions within 5 km of Dom, Köln (Stadt Köln): 26 — Height limit 21, Weight limit 3, No lorries 2. Nearest:
- Height limit 4 m — Tunisstraße, Unterführung Komödienstraße, direction “Norden” (0.2 km)
- Height limit 3.8 m — Nord-Süd-Fahrt, Unterführung Schildergasse, direction “Süden” (0.7 km)
- Height limit 4 m — Nord-Süd-Fahrt, Unterführung Cäcilienstraße, direction “Norden” (0.8 km)
Lorry route network (Stadt Köln, as of 2014-01-01), nearest section: secondary lorry connection for deliveries 0.2 km (Tunisstr., Ursulastr., Victoriastr.); primary lorry connection 1.3 km (Holzmarkt, Zu-/Abfahrt Severinsbrücke, Severinsbrücke); …
These lorry entries come from our database derived from “SEVAS (NRW.Mobidrom)” (ODbL 1.0; its geometry comes from OpenStreetMap). We send a complete machine-readable copy (CSV) under the ODbL 1.0 free of charge on request – contact details in the Impressum on viafrei.de.

New in 2.2.9 and 2.2.10. Each publisher gets its own nearest lines, so the city's per-direction heights are no longer crowded out by SEVAS's. A SEVAS restriction drawn on several road segments is counted and named once. Edited: the end of the network line, the closing line and the source line omitted.

Lorry restrictions within 5 km of Dresden Altmarkt (Landeshauptstadt Dresden): 1 — No lorries 1. Nearest:
- No lorries over 3.5 t (sign 253) (0 km); additional sign „Dienstleister, Anlieferer und Wohnmobile frei“
Lorry route network (Landeshauptstadt Dresden), nearest section: lorry priority route 1.6 km. This is the network the city routes lorry traffic over; later rules, such as through-traffic bans, are not shown in it — not an all-clear: the signs on site apply.
Current closures and roadworks: the same question without vehicle.

Lorry bans are shown here as information, not legal advice: only the signs on site say whom and when a ban binds.

New in 2.2.10. The city's ban zone is one ban, stated as the city's record states it; the additional sign is quoted in German, as it is signed. The last line is the condition note that travels with every such answer as _meta.conditionNote. Edited: the source URIs shortened to (…).

Lorry restrictions around Hamburg Hbf: no data. We hold them only where a publisher publishes them (so far NRW.Mobidrom for North Rhine-Westphalia, ivm for the Frankfurt RheinMain region, VMZ Bremen for Bremen and Stadt Köln and Landeshauptstadt Dresden, each for its own city area) — this is not an all-clear.
Oversize and heavy transport network (Landesbetrieb Verkehr Hamburg), nearest section 0.4 km (Kreuzweg, Steindamm, Deichtorplatz) — an aid for the application in VEMAGS, no permit.
Current closures and roadworks: the same question without vehicle.
…
The oversize and heavy transport network helps with an application in VEMAGS and is no permit: an oversize or heavy transport needs its own permit or authorisation (§ 29(3), § 46(1) StVO), and the signs on site apply. The network is the LBV's compilation of the routes most often needed; it names no permitted dimensions, weights or axle loads, and the route a transport may take is the one its permit sets.

New in 2.2.10. "No data" for the restrictions is said as what it is, and the network is never presented as a permission. Edited: the source line omitted.

2 of 14 reported facilities at Frankfurt (Main) Konstablerwache are out of service. Counted are the facilities DB reports for this station. The platform details are from DB's station data, as of 2026-10-19. …
…
Platforms at Frankfurt (Main) Konstablerwache per DB's station data: 2 of 2 step-free. The station as a whole: step-free, wheelchair accessible.
Platform 2 (Bahnsteig Gleis 2): step-free · wheelchair accessible · platform height 96 cm · tactile guidance · level boarding into the train: unknown
Platform 3 (Bahnsteig Gleis 3): step-free · wheelchair accessible · platform height 96 cm · tactile guidance · level boarding into the train: unknown

Traffic signals within 300 m: 6, 3 of them with an acoustic signal for blind pedestrians: Konstabler Wache/Kurt-Schumacher-Straße (60 m); Berliner Straße/Battonstraße/Kurt-Schumacher-Straße (240 m); Battonstr./Klingerstr./Stoltzestr. (270 m)

New in 2.2.9 (the platforms, from DB InfraGO's station inventory) and 2.2.10 (the acoustic signals, from Stadt Frankfurt am Main). "Unknown" is said as unknown, never as no. A tram or U-Bahn stop named with its city, such as "Stuttgart Charlottenplatz", is answered as that stop, with the sentence that we hold no lift status and no survey for it where that is so. Edited: the rest of the first line, the fourteen escalator lines and the source line omitted.

Low-emission zone and plaque — Essen Hbf:

The point is checked against the city's own polygon, credited "Umweltzone: Datenquelle: Stadt Essen – opendata.essen.de, Datenlizenz Deutschland – Namensnennung – Version 2.0, bearbeitet", with the Umweltbundesamt's agreeing zone credited beside it. Edited: the general rules that follow and the source line omitted.

A59, road-wide: 0 jams, 12 closures, 22 roadworks sites; announced from 10:00: 3 closures, 17 roadworks sites — As of 06:09. Traffic state at 53 measuring sites (NRW, as of 06:08): 4 slow, 5 heavy, 44 free-flowing; standstill or slow near Düsseldorf-Garath, Monheim, Richrath.
• Closure (Sperrung): A59, since 2026-10-05 00:00, until 2026-10-23 12:00 (whole measure until 2031-12-23) — Provider text (German): "A59 6-streifiger Ausbau AK DU - AS DU-Marxloh · AK Duisburg (aus Richtung Duisburg-Häfen) — Zeitraum dieser Bauphase: […] Ende: 23.10.26 um 12:00 Uhr …"

Closure on the A59; since 2026-10-05, until 2026-10-23 12:00, whole measure until 2031-12-23.

New in 2.2.8 and 2.2.9. The gist is built only from fields we already parse (kind, road, junctions, direction, length, limits, dates, distance), so it never translates the publisher's words. For a works in phases it ends with the current phase and names the whole measure's end as such. A German answer carries no gist. Edited: two entries and the source line omitted; the gist is quoted from the structured result.

find_parking {place: "Xyzzyqwertstadt"}
→ isError: true · _meta.errorCode: "not_found"
  I do not know "Xyzzyqwertstadt". Name a town, a district or a stop — or pass lat/lon.

check_autobahn_traffic {road: "A59"}   (the argument is "roads", a list)
→ isError: true · _meta.errorCode: "invalid_input"
  MCP error -32602: Input validation error: Invalid arguments for tool check_autobahn_traffic: Invalid input: expected array, received undefined at roads

New in 2.2.13. Every error result carries one code from a closed list of seven (invalid_input, not_found, out_of_coverage, unavailable, limit_reached, timeout, internal), so a client can tell "ask differently" from "try later" without reading the sentence. Edited: shown as the two results' fields, not as the raw JSON-RPC frames.

The A7 is listed in the long-lorry positive network:
- BASt extract, amending ordinance no. 13, network as of uebw. 2025q2: 180 sections, 965.8 km
- Hamburg's field-trial network, as of 2015: 29 sections, 39.5 km
What binds is the Annex to § 2(1) of the LKWÜberlStVAusnV, not this extract.
Current closures and roadworks: the same question without vehicle.

VMZ Bremen's heights and weights are shown as published (read on 2026-10-19). Only the signs on site are binding; the data is not for route guidance. A missing entry does not mean there is no restriction.

Every height and weight is quoted in the publisher's own words and never turned into a number of ours. Where the words give no figure, the answer says that no value is stated. Edited: the source line omitted.

On viafrei.de the same data is on the page: the home shows cards for one place, public transport first, then fuel, parking, roads, the motorways nearby, charging, weather and what is nearby, and German towns and cities have place pages under their full names, where each card row with its own point links to OpenStreetMap's map. Since 2.1.9 the cards answer by the tools' own rules, so a card and an assistant asked about the same place say the same thing:

charging: one charger published by two feeds is one row, a site whose every point is closed is not listed, and each row says "1 of 2 free (as of 22:21)", "occupied", "out of service", "possibly out of date" or "no status data", which is unknown and never free;
transit: Berlin and Brandenburg take their punctuality from VBB's own live feed, a railway station's realtime calls are matched through the national stop directory, and shared bikes within 1 km are listed with their stations;
roads: the Land traffic feeds and roadworks registers answer a place as they do in check_road_status, every row says where it is, a city's own street messages are not crowded out by the motorways, Hamburg places name up to two traffic cameras (as links, never an image), and every source behind a row or a count is credited;
parking: Trucklounge's lorry parks and the P+R NRW sites appear in blocks of their own, each with its licence's own sentence;
the place page adds the low-emission-zone sentence get_driving_rules states for that Gemeinde, and lines suggesting what to ask your assistant to watch.

Each station on the transit card has a line of its own: how many of its lifts and escalators run, each one out of service by name, the platforms the timetable marks step-free, and the car parks and P+R sites within 300 m. The weather card shows the nearest road-weather station's next six hours, and the fuel card names the two nearest hydrogen stations within 25 km.

Why the source line matters. Every answer ends with one, and it is the licence speaking: show it to whoever reads the answer. Copy the line the server sends you, not the ones on this page, which are shortened. See Using the data you get back.

🛣️ Motorway pages

Every motorway in Germany has a page of its own, 122 of them, in seven languages: the index is at viafrei.de/en/motorway (German: viafrei.de/de/autobahn), and a motorway is its number in lower case — the A7 is viafrei.de/en/motorway/a7 and viafrei.de/de/autobahn/a7. A spelling such as A 7, a07 or BAB7 takes you to the same page.

What the A7's page holds, from top to bottom:

One sentence about the road, built from its own data: from Füssen to Flensburg/Harrislee, about 928 km on the schematic line, the Länder it crosses in road order and how many junctions and interchanges it has, followed by what is reported now, with its time. On 2026-10-14 the English page read: "The A7 runs from Füssen junction to Flensburg/Harrislee junction, about 928 km long (schematic), through Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Hesse, Lower Saxony, Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein, with 141 junctions and interchanges (24 of them interchanges). Reported on the A7 now: 21 closures, 0 jams, 118 roadworks (as of 22:37)."
A map, drawn on the server: Germany's outline and the Länder from the BKG's VG2500, the motorway as a schematic line through the junctions of BASt's Location Code List, closures solid, roadworks hatched, jams with their delay. Where the list has no course for a stretch the line breaks, and the page names the break rather than drawing across it.
What is reported now: closures, jams and roadworks under their own heading, then the full closures planned for the next seven days, soonest first, each with the signed detour where Baden-Württemberg publishes one.
The junction strip: every junction, interchange and triangle in order, with its counts. A form filters the page by stretch (from, to), direction and layer, and works without JavaScript. Each interchange names and links the motorways it meets, and a chosen stretch gives its own length.
Parking and rest: truck stops, lorry parks and service areas with live free spaces where the operator publishes them, and car parks; the share-alike sources (Trucklounge, P+R NRW, and OpenStreetMap's car parks at the junctions) in blocks of their own.
Charging: the chargers along the road with their status, the sites by power class, and the longest stretch with no charger of 150 kW or more. It says where chargers are, never that one is free unless its operator says so.
Weather: the DWD's official warnings along the road and the road-surface forecast of its road-weather stations.
Traffic cameras, as links to the publisher's images.
Fuel prices, only when you click: the page itself carries none, and the click loads at most ten stations, each price with its time and the MTS-K note.
On every motorway: the lorry ban, dated for the Länder this road crosses (whether it holds now, until when, and the next ban days), the advisory speed, the rescue lane and the emergency numbers, in the same words get_driving_rules uses.
Ask your assistant: how to connect, the address to copy, and two or three questions this page can answer, each answered from the page's own rows with its time and source.

The index lists every motorway with its live counts, has a search that takes a number in any spelling, a "worst right now" order (closures and jams first, then the longest delay), and an overview map of Germany with the motorways that have a closure or a jam drawn apart. The home page lists the ten worst motorways right now as cards, and every place card set has an Autobahn card: the motorways near the place, nearest junction first, each linked to its page.

Found by search, classic and AI. Each motorway page has its own title and description in every language ("A7 Germany: traffic jams, roadworks, map"), the motorway sitemaps list every page in every language, and llms.txt and llms-full.txt describe the pages; llms-full.txt also lists every motorway page in English and German. robots.txt keeps the AI training and corpus crawlers off the fuel and place pages, names them one by one, and leaves the motorway pages open to every crawler. The fuel prices are a click no crawler follows.

The product is a hosted MCP server. Point your client at it and the tools appear. There is nothing to install, no key to request and no quota to negotiate. Step-by-step guides for each assistant: viafrei.de/en/connect.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http viafrei https://mcp.viafrei.de/mcp

Claude (desktop app and claude.ai), ChatGPT and other apps that take a connector URL — add a custom connector with this address (in Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector; in ChatGPT the connector settings need developer mode):

https://mcp.viafrei.de/mcp

Cursor, and any client with an mcpServers file that takes a url, over HTTP:

{ "mcpServers": { "viafrei": { "url": "https://mcp.viafrei.de/mcp" } } }

VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json, or MCP: Add Server from the command palette):

{ "servers": { "viafrei": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.viafrei.de/mcp" } } }

Clients that speak only stdio — for example Claude Desktop's config file (claude_desktop_config.json, opened from Settings → Developer → Edit Config). That is what this package is for:

{ "mcpServers": { "viafrei": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "viafrei"] } } }

Node 22 or newer. npx fetches the bridge when your client starts it. If the file already has an mcpServers block, add the "viafrei" entry inside it rather than pasting a second block.

An older client on HTTP+SSE is answered too, at https://mcp.viafrei.de/sse. The transport is deprecated in the specification, so prefer the address above when you can:

claude mcp add --transport sse viafrei https://mcp.viafrei.de/sse

Restart the client and ask one of the questions above.

🧭 Prompts — ready-made briefings

Pick one in your client's prompt menu and fill in the blanks; it calls the right tools in the right order.

prompt	what it does
`plan_departure` — Trip briefing before departure — Reise-Briefing vor der Abfahrt	Briefs a drive that is about to start: the official weather warnings at both ends, whether each motorway is open, and the jams in force this minute, ending in one go/no-go sentence.
`compare_travel_options` — Drive or take the train? — Auto oder Bahn?	Weighs one trip by car against the same trip by rail: closures and live jams on the motorway side, the next departures and the region's punctuality on the rail side, as two paragraphs the traveller can compare.

`plan_fuel_stop` — Refuel or charge on the way — Tank- oder Ladestopp unterwegs	Finds where this traveller fills up or charges on the way: the cheapest stations for one fuel grade around one place, or the charging points with the right connector and power, and the rest area beside them if they also need a break.
`plan_commute` — Plan today's commute by train — Pendelfahrt für heute planen	Plans one public-transport leg on the day itself: the next departures from the station with delays, platforms and cancellations, and whether the region's buses and trains are running normally at this hour.
`plan_arrival_parking` — Where to leave the car on arrival — Parken am Ziel	Finds where to leave the car at the end of the drive: the car park in town, the park-and-ride at the edge with the onward departures, or the rest area if the traveller is early.

`plan_local_errand` — What is around this place? — Was ist hier in der Nähe?	Answers "what is around here" for one place: the nearest fuel, EV charging, parking, railway station and motorway junction in one glance, then — only if the traveller wants more than the nearest one — the depth tool for that one category.

resource	what it holds
`viafrei://attribution` — Data sources & attribution	Licence and attribution text for every data source ViaFrei uses.

`viafrei://addresses` — Address coverage	What the OSM-derived address table (osm_addresses) holds per Bundesland — the Länder and each one's extract date read from the rows, the row counts estimated from the planner's statistics and labelled so — plus the ODbL § 4.6 offer owed to anyone who receives an address-derived result.

The running server is the source of truth. This list and API.md are rendered from a dated snapshot of it, and CI fails if either drifts from that snapshot. Ask any MCP client for tools/list to see what is live this minute.

Worked use cases

Walkthroughs that chain several tools, each naming what comes back:
