one click: the provider's deploy form opens filled in, in your own account- koyeb

The form opens with CHANGE_ME for each value you supply: TRANSITA_API_URL, TRANSITA_MCP_USER_AGENT. Fill them in before you deploy.
Clients connect to the service's https://…koyeb.app address plus /mcp.

A Container Apps environment with one app per server, each with HTTPS ingress and one replica. The portal asks for each value you supply as a secure parameter; the deployment's outputs list the endpoints.

Claude Code shows them as `mcp__transita__<tool>`. - No credentials. ## Tools 6 tools.
