Share Your Ride MCP

Share Your Ride (shareyourride.net) is a free carpool marketplace. This connector lets Claude search it, which spares you the traditional method of finding a lift: standing beside a road with a cardboard sign and an expression of carefully managed hope.

Ask for rides between two places and Claude returns the live listings: ride offers from drivers with empty seats, ride requests from passengers with no seats at all, and car shares. Drivers regard passengers as a convenient way to halve the fuel bill. Passengers regard drivers as a convenient way to not own a car. Both are correct, and the arrangement has so far survived this.

What it does:

• Searches listings by departure place, destination and date (today, unless you say otherwise)
• Filters by listing type: ride offer, ride wanted or car share
• Returns each listing's route, departure time, description, preferences such as pets, smoking and luggage, and a link to the full listing
• Asks which place you meant when a name is ambiguous. There are a great many Springfields, and none of them is aware of the others.

When a route has no listings, nothing is returned. The connector then returns a link to post your own offer or request with the places and date already filled in. Posting needs an account on the website (a confirmed email address) which is the smallest amount of bureaucracy currently known to work.

The connector is read-only. It searches. It does not book seats, message drivers, or form opinions about your luggage.

Try asking:

• "Are there any rides from Los Angeles to Las Vegas this weekend?"
• "Is anyone looking for a lift from Hamburg to Berlin on Friday?"
• "Find a ride offer from Nelson to Prince George that takes cats, and my cat handler."
