list_systems

List available bikeshare/scooter systems from the catalog.

Returns a curated list of 30+ major city bike/scooter sharing systems
worldwide that publish GBFS (General Bikeshare Feed Specification) data.
Filter by country or search by name/city/operator.

Use this first to discover system_ids, then call get_stations or
get_system_info with the chosen system_id.

Args:
country: 2-letter ISO country code filter (e.g. "NO" for Norway).
query: Search text matching name, city, or operator name.
limit: Maximum systems to return (1-100).

Returns:
List of systems with system_id, name, city, country, operator.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`country`	`any`	optional	ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code to filter systems (e.g. "NO", "US", "GB", "FR").
`query`	`any`	optional	Text search across system name, city, and operator (e.g. 'Oslo', 'Lime', 'Citi Bike').
`limit`	`integer`	optional	Maximum systems to return (1-100, default 50). (default: 50)

get_system_info

Get metadata for a specific bikeshare system.

Fetches the system_information.json GBFS feed for the system and
returns operator details, timezone, contact info, and available feeds.

Args:
system_id: System identifier from list_systems (e.g. "oslobysykkel").

Returns:
System metadata including name, operator, URL, timezone, and
a list of available GBFS feed names.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`system_id`	`string`	required	System identifier from list_systems (e.g. "oslobysykkel", "lyft_nyc", "divvy").

}

get_stations

Get stations with real-time bike/dock availability for a bikeshare system.

Merges static station info (name, location, capacity) with live status
(bikes available, docks available, vehicle types). Returns all stations
or filters by name/address text search.

Use get_station_status for detailed info on a single station.

Args:
system_id: System identifier (e.g. "oslobysykkel").
query: Optional text filter on station name or address.
limit: Maximum stations to return (1-100, default 50).

Returns:
Stations with name, lat/lon, capacity, bikes_available, docks_available,
is_renting, is_returning, last_reported timestamp.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`system_id`	`string`	required	System identifier from list_systems (e.g. "oslobysykkel", "lyft_nyc").
`query`	`any`	optional	Text filter on station name or address (e.g. 'Central Station', 'Main St').
`limit`	`integer`	optional	Maximum stations to return (1-100, default 50). (default: 50)

}

get_station_status

Get real-time availability for a specific bikeshare station.

Returns live data including bikes available, docks available,
operational status (is_renting, is_returning), and last update timestamp.
Also includes static info (name, address, coordinates, capacity).

Args:
system_id: System identifier (e.g. "oslobysykkel").
station_id: Station identifier from get_stations results.

Returns:
Station details with name, address, lat/lon, capacity, bikes_available,
docks_available, is_installed, is_renting, is_returning, last_reported.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`system_id`	`string`	required	System identifier from list_systems (e.g. "oslobysykkel", "lyft_nyc").
