Steps
Determine which MDS role applies: Provider API (operator exposes trip/vehicle data to the city) or Agency API (city exposes a policy/events endpoint to operators)
Reference the OpenAPI description in the openmobilityfoundation/mds-openapi repo for the applicable MDS version
Implement the relevant endpoints (e.g., vehicles, trips, events for Provider; vehicles, events for Agency) per that version's schema
Coordinate authentication with the deploying city, since MDS itself does not mandate a single auth scheme
Validate payloads against the published JSON Schemas before submitting
Known gotchas
MDS is versioned per city deployment; a Provider integration built against one city's MDS version may not match another city's
The spec is agency-facing and typically requires a data-sharing agreement with the city, not open self-serve access
Policy/geography endpoints reference GeoJSON areas that must stay in sync with the city's published policy documents
