What the Bart connector can do
Bart publishes a public API for the Bay Area's rail system, with live departure predictions, elevator status, and fare lookups. In type.com, an operations or support Space can ask the agent to check real-time train times, confirm accessibility at a station, or look up a fare, and share the answer in a thread without opening a separate app.
One connection, many Spaces
Connect Bart once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting Bart
Can Claude look up Bart schedules and fares in type.com?
Yes. With a Bart connection shared to a Space, the agent can check live departures, elevator status, or fares between stations and post the answer directly in a thread.
How does type.com authenticate with the Bart API?
Bart uses an API key, which an admin adds once when the connection is created. Teams working in a Space with access can query it without handling the key themselves.
Can I get a daily Bart status check automatically?
Yes. You can set up a type.com automation that checks elevator status or departures each morning and posts the result to a channel.
Is this the same as a Bart MCP server?
Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
