## Tools (as reported by the server, not verified)

- `geonames\_search\_places`: Search the GeoNames gazetteer of 13M+ places by name and filters: country, admin division by its GeoNames code \(adminCode1 TX with countries US for Texas\), feature class \(P populated places, A admin divisions, T mountains and terrain, H water, S buildings and spots\), feature code \(PPLC capitals, ADM
- `geonames\_get\_place`: Fetch the full GeoNames record for one geonameId: coordinates, feature type, the admin chain with each level's code, name, and geonameId, timezone, bounding box, recorded and DEM elevation, population, Wikipedia URL, names in other languages, postal codes, and external identifiers \(IATA, ICAO, UN/LO
- `geonames\_get\_hierarchy`: Return the parent chain of a GeoNames feature, ordered from Earth and its continent through the country and admin divisions down to the feature itself, each with its geonameId, feature code, and coordinates. Use it to find which country, state, and county contain a place, or to fill an admin path fo
- `geonames\_get\_children`: List the direct children of a GeoNames feature — Earth's continents, a continent's countries, a country's first-level divisions, a state's counties, a city's sections — in the administrative tree, or in the tourism tree \(islands, coasts, and their municipalities; almost all in Spain\) or the dependen
- `geonames\_reverse\_geocode`: Resolve a latitude/longitude to the country and admin subdivisions that contain it \(down to ADM5, each with its geonameId and ISO 3166-2 code where one exists\), or the ocean or sea when the point is offshore, plus the nearest populated places with distances; these include neighborhood sections \(PPLX
- `geonames\_find\_postal\_codes`: Look up postal codes in the GeoNames postal database \(122 countries\): mode code resolves a postal code to its place, admin names, and centroid; mode place\_name finds postal codes for a place name; both page with offset, up to 5000; mode nearby lists postal codes within radiusKm \(up to 30 km\) of a co
- `geonames\_get\_countries`: Get GeoNames country facts — ISO alpha-2, alpha-3, and numeric codes, FIPS code, geonameId, capital, population, area in km², continent, languages, currency, postal-code format, and mainland bounding box — for the countries named, a continent, or all 250. The geonameId anchors geonames\_get\_children
- `geonames\_list\_reference`: Decode GeoNames vocabulary used by the other tools: topic feature\_classes lists the 9 one-letter classes; topic feature\_codes lists the 684 feature codes with names and definitions, filterable by class and text; topic postal\_countries lists the 122 countries with postal-code data and each one's code
