DriveBC Open511 integration

DriveBC Open511 is the Government of British Columbia's public feed of road events on provincial highways, in the Open511 format. List current or archived events (construction, incidents, road and weather conditions, special events) filtered by status, severity, event type and subtype, road name, district, bounding box, distance from a point, creation or update time, or the period they are in effect, and read each event's headline, description, schedule, affected roads and lanes, district and GeoJSON geometry. List the 11 highway districts usable as a filter, and read the jurisdiction's contact details and boundary polygon. Answers are JSON. No credential is needed; the data is published under the Open Government Licence British Columbia.

What you can do with DriveBC Open511

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Area, 1 operation

list_areasList areasGETLists the 11 highway districts of British Columbia that list_events accepts as its area_id filter, each with its id, name and GeoNames link.

Event, 1 operation

list_eventsList eventsGETLists road events on British Columbia highways (construction, incidents, road conditions, weather conditions, special events), 50 per call by default and at most 500.

Jurisdiction, 1 operation

get_jurisdictionGet jurisdictionGETReturns the jurisdiction publishing this Open511 feed (drivebc.ca, the Province of British Columbia): its name, description, contact email and phone, timezone, languages and licence link.

Jurisdiction geography, 1 operation

get_jurisdiction_geographyGet jurisdiction geographyGETReturns the boundary of British Columbia as covered by DriveBC, as GeoJSON polygons, for example to test whether a point falls inside the feed's coverage.

Use DriveBC Open511 from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect DriveBC Open511 in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its DriveBC Open511 operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"
