📝 Optimize package.json keywords for npm search

What

Add comprehensive keywords to package.json for npm search discoverability.

Why

npm search uses keywords for ranking. Better keywords = more organic installs.

Suggested keywords

"mcp", "model-context-protocol", "switzerland", "swiss", "open-data", "transport", "sbb", "weather", "meteoswiss", "geodata", "companies", "zefix", "parliament", "avalanche", "holidays", "postal", "energy", "statistics", "dams", "earthquakes", "hiking", "news", "real-estate", "recycling", "snb", "traffic",

  • VS Code / GitHub Copilot (.vscode/mcp.json)
  • Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json)
  • Windsurf (~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json)
  • Continue.dev (YAML config)
  • Cline (cline_mcp_settings.json)
  • Amazon Q Developer (`~/.aws/a

feat: migrate parliament module to OpenParlData.ch API + add 5 new tools

Background

Current parliament module uses the old ws.parlament.ch OData v3 API. OpenParlData.ch provides a modern REST API with richer data covering national, cantonal, and municipal parliaments.

Migration: Replace OData backend with OpenParlData.ch REST API

Keep existing tools (same tool names, same params, better data):

  • search_parliament_business → /v1/affairs/
  • get_parliament_members → /v1/persons/
  • `get_parliament_votes

chore: optimize tool schema descriptions for token efficiency

Problem

Tool descriptions contain redundant words that cost tokens without helping the agent. Every token in a schema is paid on every conversation.

Examples

Before (verbose):

Search train/bus connections between two Swiss stations. Returns departure time, arrival time, duration, platform, and transfers.

After (concise):

Search train/bus connections between Swiss stations

Rules:

  • Remove 'optional, defaults to X' → use 'default: X'
  • Don't describe return format (agent

feat: discovery tool for dynamic module loading

Problem

Even with --modules, users must know which modules they need upfront. Agents can't discover capabilities at runtime.

Solution

Add an optional --discovery mode that registers a single meta-tool swiss_discover (~100 tokens at startup). The agent calls it to see available modules, then requests specific ones. Tools register dynamically via MCP's tools/list_changed notification.

Flow

  1. Startup: only swiss_discover registered (~100 tokens)
  2. Agent calls `swiss_discover

feat: module presets for common use cases

Problem

Users may not know all 20 module names. Selecting individual modules requires knowledge of the codebase.

Solution

Add named presets that bundle common module combinations.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "swiss": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-swiss", "--preset", "commuter"]
    }
  }
}

feat: --modules flag for selective tool loading

Problem

mcp-swiss registers all 62 tools (~7,195 tokens of JSON schema) on every connection, regardless of what the user needs. A user asking about trains pays a 92% token tax for 57 tools they'll never use.

Solution

Add a --modules CLI flag that lets users choose which modules to load at startup.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "swiss": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-swiss", "--modules", "transport,weather"]
    }
  }
}

🔧 Add HTTP/SSE transport for remote MCP access

What

Support HTTP/SSE transport alongside stdio.

Why

Biggest unlock. Required for Claude.ai (web), ChatGPT Developer Mode, and any remote/hosted MCP client. Currently stdio-only limits us to local desktop apps.

How

  1. Add HTTP transport layer using @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
  2. Deploy hosted instance (Railway, Fly.io, or Cloudflare Workers)
  3. Provide both endpoints:
    • Local: npx mcp-swiss (stdio)
    • Remote: https://mcp-swiss.fly.dev/mcp (HTTP/SSE)

Effort: High (1-2
