From the repository
The server exposes four MCP tools: find_places (search facilities by type and district), get_place_detail (full details of a specific place), find_nearby (find facilities near GPS coordinates), and get_subway_timetable (subway schedules). Installation and configuration details are not provided in the README.
find_places
Search for public facilities and points of interest in Seoul.
get_place_detail
Get full details of a specific place or subway station in Seoul by its ID.
find_nearby
Find public facilities near GPS coordinates in Seoul, sorted by distance.
get_subway_timetable
Get real Seoul subway timetables — all 405 stations on lines 1-9. Covers every station on Seoul Metro lines 1-9 including transfer stations on all their lines (e.g. Jongno 3-ga on lines 1, 3 AND 5), with full official timetables (Seoul Open Data, ~1,000+ trains/day per station). By default returns the next 20 departures per direction after the current time in Seoul (KST), plus a per-direction summary with first/last train times and the total train count for the day.
