Geographic Utilities

A Swiss-army knife for location data. Convert addresses to coordinates (and back), look up country details, check the local timezone, and get sunrise/sunset times — all from free public APIs, no keys needed.

Tools

Reach for this when

• A user gives a place name and you need coordinates for another API
• Converting GPS coordinates to a street address
• Answering "what time is it in Tokyo right now?"
• Calculating daylight hours for a specific location and date
• Looking up country metadata (capital, population, languages)

Example: geocode the Colosseum

curl -s -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/geo/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"geocode","arguments":{"query":"Colosseum, Rome, Italy"}}}'

Returns latitude (41.8902), longitude (12.4922), and display name.
