Our assessment of sbb-mcp
sbb-mcp scores 72/100 on our quality scale, 3803rd of 4,662 Development & Engineering skills we index.
Its MCP Server is 3.2 KB long, well organised into 10 sections with 3 code examples: a solid amount of guidance for an agent.
It has 3 GitHub stars, so there is little community track record yet; judge it on its content.
Maintenance, license and trust
- The repository was last updated about 6 months ago. That is recent enough to be usable, but agent tooling moves fast, so check the instructions against your agent's current version.
- Our last check on 2026-09-14 found the source still online.
- No license is declared. By default that means all rights are reserved: you can read it, but reusing or redistributing it is not clearly permitted. Ask the author before building on it commercially.
- Its trust signals score 74/100, with 3 cautions from licensing, adoption, age or documentation. These come from repository metadata, not a code audit — read the skill file before letting an agent act on it.

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, 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.
