Building software with Indian Railways data in India has always been a painful trade-off:1. Enterprise B2B access requires massive bank guarantees and lengthy bureaucratic clearances.2. Open-source scrapers frequently break, suffer from 5-8 second latencies, and eat hundreds of megabytes of RAM.3. Global marketplaces force developers into recurring USD subscriptions with multi-second latency spikes.We engineered <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="break-all link-break text-gray-500 hover:underline" href="http://irctc.dev">irctc.dev</a> — an in-memory railway intelligence engine compiling all 10,647 passenger trains, 8,500+ stations, and schedules directly into RAM.### ⚡ Key Capabilities:- Sub-10ms Route Searches: Direct train schedules and station pair routing in single-digit milliseconds.- 400ms PNR Checks: Real-time passenger manifest, coach allocation, and berth details (e.g. S4 65 LOWER BERTH).- 14-Day Seat Forecast: 1-call continuous availability forecast across classes (3A, 2A, SL) and quotas.- Post-Charting Vacant Berths: Real-time vacant berths from online reservation charts for Current Booking.- AI Agent Ready (MCP): Official `irctc-mcp` server connecting Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, and Claude Desktop to live railway data.- Developer Toolchains: Official Node.js SDK (`npm i irctc-api`), Python SDK (`pip install irctc-api`), and n8n node (`n8n-nodes-irctc`).### 💻 Try It In Your Terminal (No Signup Required):```bashnpx irctc-api live 12557npx irctc-api pnr 2265248473---
