# Driving Schools MCP server

> Search driving schools by city and category, with addresses, phone numbers and published lesson prices.

- Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/driving-schools
- Connect: use the server's own URL `https://drivingschools.fyi/mcp` (no sign-in); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint.
- Type: remote (Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: none
- Category: [Travel & Maps](https://mcp.tc/c/travel-maps)
- Vendor: drivingschools.fyi
- Homepage: <https://drivingschools.fyi/>

## About

Connects to the Driving Schools directory, which lists driving schools across several countries using open map data. You can search by text, place and category, fetch a single listing, and see the data sources, licenses and statistics. Results carry attribution and source details.

Runs as a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint. No sign-in or API key is needed for the read tools. A service token in the Authorization header adds write tools allowed by the token's scopes.

## What it can do

- Search driving schools by text, country, region, city and category
- Get one driving school record by slug
- List places and categories with driving schools
- View dataset statistics and last update

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http driving-schools https://drivingschools.fyi/mcp
```

2. Start Claude Code and type `/mcp`. **driving-schools** should show as connected.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Customize → Connectors**, click **+ Add**, then **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **Driving Schools** and paste this URL:

```url
https://drivingschools.fyi/mcp
```

3. Click **Add**. Its tools appear in the chat’s tools menu.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Driving%20Schools&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fdrivingschools.fyi%2Fmcp>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://drivingschools.fyi/mcp` and click **Add**.

3. Turn it on in a chat from the tools menu.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, go to **Plugins**, select **+**, then **Add custom MCP server**.

2. Enter a name for the server.

3. Under **Connection**, paste `https://drivingschools.fyi/mcp` as the server URL, then for authentication choose **No authentication**.

4. Check **I understand and want to continue**, then select **Create as a plugin**.

Whether you can add a custom MCP server depends on your ChatGPT plan and your workspace permissions (in Business workspaces, admins and owners can).

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=driving-schools&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2RyaXZpbmdzY2hvb2xzLmZ5aS9tY3AifQ%3D%3D>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "driving-schools": {
      "url": "https://drivingschools.fyi/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=driving-schools&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fdrivingschools.fyi%2Fmcp%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"driving-schools","type":"http","url":"https://drivingschools.fyi/mcp"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "driving-schools": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://drivingschools.fyi/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "driving-schools": {
      "serverUrl": "https://drivingschools.fyi/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add driving-schools --url https://drivingschools.fyi/mcp
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.driving-schools]
url = "https://drivingschools.fyi/mcp"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http driving-schools https://drivingschools.fyi/mcp
```

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "driving-schools": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://drivingschools.fyi/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://drivingschools.fyi/mcp`.
