Server tool list (7)

Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

list_citiesList active cities ordered by POI count, with coordinates and Wikidata QID. Paginate with limit/offset; filter by ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code.
get_cityGet one city by slug, including POI count, top distinctive tags, top categories, and a sample of its top POIs.
list_countriesList every country that has at least one active city, with city and POI counts.
get_countryGet one country by ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, including its active cities (top 100 by POI count).
search_poisFree-text POI search with prefix/tag/fuzzy ranking plus popularity and geo boosts. Provide `q` (free text, min 2 chars) and/or `city` (slug); with both, the search is scoped to that city. Optionally narrow with `tags` (a POI must carry all of them). At least one of `q` or `city` is required.
get_poi_detailsGet one POI by UUID or slug, with full enrichment: coordinates, approved tags, categories, Wikidata/OSM/Google identifiers, and hero image.
find_similar_poisFind the nearest POIs to the given one by tag-cosine similarity (shared distinctive tags) — 'more like this'. Empty when the POI has only generic tags.
