wheels-router

What This Skill Does

The wheels-router skill is a powerful OpenClaw agent capability designed to provide comprehensive, real-time public transit navigation. By integrating with the Wheels Router MCP server, this skill offers specialized, high-fidelity routing for Hong Kong—including MTR, bus, tram, and ferry networks—while simultaneously providing global transit coverage through the Transitous API. It handles coordinate resolution, location searching, and complex journey planning, making it an essential tool for users navigating both familiar urban environments and foreign transit systems. Whether you are checking the latest MTR interchange discounts or trying to find a bus route in a major global city, wheels-router streamlines the process from a simple natural language query to precise travel directions.

Installation

To install this skill, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/anscg/wheels-router

Ensure you have the necessary MCP runtime environment (such as mcporter) configured. Depending on your client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf), update your configuration file (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json) to include the mcp-remote command pointing to https://mcp.justusewheels.com/mcp. This enables the agent to authenticate and communicate with the transit routing engines effectively.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for commuters needing to calculate daily travel costs in Hong Kong, travelers unfamiliar with local transit layouts looking for the fastest route, or power users wanting to automate trip planning within their IDE. Use it to compare different route options based on walking distance, transfer frequency, and real-time operational status. It is also highly effective for logistics, allowing agents to provide precise exit information for complex station networks like MTR hubs.

Example Prompts

1. "How can I get from Causeway Bay to the Hong Kong Airport by midnight, and what will the fare be?"
2. "Find the closest transit stops to the Tokyo Tower and plan a route to Shinjuku Station."
3. "Search for the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR exit coordinates and tell me the best way to get to the Star Ferry Pier from there."

Tips & Limitations

Always use search_location first if you do not have exact latitude/longitude coordinates; this ensures the plan_trip tool receives accurate data for optimal results. While the Hong Kong data is highly granular and optimized for local transit features like interchange discounts, global routing relies on Transitous, which may have varying levels of density depending on the city. Please note that real-time status is provided on a best-effort basis; always verify mission-critical travel times with local signs or official provider boards.
