Purpose
Italy Transfers is used to compare real-time transport prices between cities in Italy, covering four travel modes: trains, buses, ferries, and private transfers. The project provides both a frontend web application and an MCP server, making it convenient for users to query directly or through AI assistants such as Claude.
Main Capabilities
- Real-time price search: covers more than 71 Italian transport routes.
- Multilingual support: 7 languages in total—English, Italian, German, French, Spanish, Russian, and Portuguese.
- SEO optimization: supports static generation and incremental static regeneration.
- Mobile-responsive design: based on Tailwind CSS.
- MCP toolset: provides search_italy_transport (search real-time prices for routes), list_italy_routes (list all 71+ available routes), get_route_info (detailed price and time information), get_cheapest_travel_day (find the cheapest travel day).
