Get Around Hong Kong plans public transport trips in Hong Kong: MTR, Light Rail, buses, green minibuses, trams and ferries combined, with Octopus fares, live departure times, road congestion delays and step-free routes. Use plan_trip for any "how do I get from A to B in Hong Kong" question; it accepts place names, addresses or coordinates directly. If the user names a bus or minibus they want to take ("I take the 33"), pass it as bus. Mention any warnings on the options you suggest. Use search_routes for questions about a route or line itself ("where does bus 40 go", "first and last train on the Island Line"): a number can be several routes (different operators or districts), so give each with its ends rather than picking one, and share its url (this site's page for it). Use service_updates for "are there any MTR delays / road problems now". Use border_crossings for "how busy is the border / Lo Wu / Shenzhen Bay now" or before planning a trip to Shenzhen or Macau: suggest a quieter crossing, then plan_trip to its lat,lon. Use nearby_departures for "when's the next bus / train from here", "what leaves near my hotel": live times at the stops around a place, no destination needed. Use search_place to find or disambiguate a place first when unsure. Use get_events for "what's on" in Hong Kong on a date, or to warn of crowds at a venue on the day of a trip (featured events draw the biggest crowds); then plan_trip to its lat,lon or share its url. Times are Hong Kong time (UTC+8). Answer in the user's language by passing language. Share the open_in_planner link so the user can follow the trip on a live map. things_to_do_nearby are Klook affiliate links (advertising): if you mention them, say they are ads.

nearby_departures — Live departures near a place in Hong Kong
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

What's leaving now from the MTR stations, bus stops and green minibus stops around a place in Hong Kong, nearest first: each route and direction once (at its nearest stop), where it's heading and the minutes until its next two departures, live from the operators. No destination needed: for "when's my bus" or "what leaves near here". Trams, ferries and Light Rail aren't included; for a trip from A to B use plan_trip.

search_routes — Look up a Hong Kong bus route or MTR line
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Hong Kong bus and green minibus routes by number, and MTR lines by name or code, the same as typing one in the site's Nearby box: where each runs between, its operator, its first and last departures by day, and this site's page for it (every stop, fares, live arrivals). A number can be several routes (route 40 is Citybus, KMB and three minibus routes in different districts): all are returned, each with its ends. Special services (a supplementary or short-working run) are left out once they have no departure left today. For travelling somewhere, use plan_trip.

get_events — What's on in Hong Kong
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Big events in Hong Kong (concerts at the major venues, sports, festivals, arts), the same list as getaroundhongkong.com/events: titles in five languages, dates, venue, coordinates, nearest MTR station, and this site's page for getting there. Filter by dates (events overlapping from–to, Hong Kong dates, YYYY-MM-DD; from today on by default) and featured (the biggest, most crowded ones).

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http get-around-hong-kong-mcp https://getaroundhongkong.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add get-around-hong-kong-mcp --url https://getaroundhongkong.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable get-around-hong-kong-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "get-around-hong-kong-mcp": {
      "url": "https://getaroundhongkong.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
