More Details Connect to Claude

Taxi and Limousine Commission trip records, keyless, for demand analysis and market research.

What you can do

  • Yellow taxi trips — 2023 and 2024: pickup/dropoff, times, fare, tip, distance, tolls (per-trip)
  • Green cab trips — 2024: same per-trip fields, plus E-hail fee and trip type
  • FHV dispatch logs — 2024–2025 ride-hail (Uber/Lyft class): pickup/dropoff zones, service request flags and dispatching base
  • Taxi zones — the 263 official taxi zones with their borough and location id
  • Zone pickups by month — monthly pick-up/drop-off counts per zone and industry (Yellow, Green, FHV High Volume)

Who is this for

Mobility analysts, ride-hail market research, urban planning work and anyone validating trip-claim or demand claims with official records.

Note: per-trip history is stored year by year, so each tool asks for a trip year — pass the year you want and the tool tells you which years are available.

6 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

count_taxi_trips

Use it to size a query before pulling rows with the search tools. Count trips in one TLC trip dataset with filters

get_taxi_zone

Zone ids are 3-4 digit numbers like "31" or "228". Resolve one TLC zone id to its name and borough

list_taxi_zones

Filter by borough to narrow it down. List all TLC taxi zone ids with names and boroughs

search_fhv_trips

Pick the year (each year is a separate dataset). pulocationid / dolocationid resolve via get_taxi_zone. sr_flag marks trips flagged as "special". Search TLC For-Hire Vehicle (black car / rideshare) trip records

search_taxi_trips

Pick the color and fiscal year; each year is a separate dataset. pulocationid / dolocationid are the TLC zone ids — resolve them with get_taxi_zone. Fare fields: fare_amount, extra, mta_tax, improvement_surcharge, congestion_surcharge, total_amount. Dates are ISO "YYYY-MM-DD". Search TLC yellow & green taxi trip records

search_zone_pickups

industry values are "Yellow Taxi", "Green Cab" or "FHV - High Volume"; pickup_dropoff is "Pick-up" or "Drop-off"; metric_month is a first-of-month ISO date. Use this for "which zone had the most pickups in a month" style questions; use the trip datasets for trip detail. Monthly pickups per TLC zone by industry (yellow, green, FHV)

See how to talk to your AI agent using NYC Taxi & Rideshare Trips.

Which taxi zone had the most pickups last month?

search_zone_pickups with month "2026-08-01" (ranked by trip_count) returns the busiest zone counts; list_taxi_zones names the zones.

How much does a Manhattan yellow taxi ride cost on average?

search_taxi_trips with color "yellow" and fiscal_year "2024" returns a sample of trips with fare, tip, tolls and distance — aggregate the sample locally for an average; narrow to a zone with pulocationid.

Where do ride-hail pickups cluster around JFK?

list_taxi_zones finds the JFK zone (id and borough); search_zone_pickups with that zone name over a recent month shows the FHV and yellow volume on both pick-up and drop-off.

No. NYC Open Data serves all public datasets anonymously over its SODA API (data.cityofnewyork.us). This MCP defines no credentials and needs nothing configured.
