Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

France Data MCP Tools (36)

autocomplete_commune

Recherche de communes françaises par nom, code postal ou code INSEE. Idéal pour autocomplétion. Source : geo.api.gouv.fr (DINUM/Etalab). Un (au moins) parmi `nom`, `codePostal`, `code` est requis. Alias acceptés : `q`/`query`/`search` → `nom`, `codepostal`/`postal_code` → `codePostal`, `code_insee`/`insee` → `code`.

get_commune_by_code

Récupère une commune par son code INSEE. Retourne un objet `LookupResult` discriminé par `found`. `found: true` → champs commune à plat (nom, codesPostaux, centre…). `found: false` → `{ found: false, key, lookupStatus: 'not_found', message }` orientant vers `autocomplete_commune` pour disambiguer. Alias acceptés : `code_insee`/`codeInsee`/`insee` → `code`.

geocode_adresse

Géocode une adresse française en coordonnées GPS. Source : IGN Géoplateforme (data.geopf.fr). Précision au numéro de rue. Le champ `score` (0-1) qualifie la fiabilité du match : >= 0.8 fiable, < 0.5 = match douteux (souvent un fallback rue/commune sans rapport avec l'adresse demandée). Le champ booléen `confidence_low` vaut `true` dans ce cas : ne PAS utiliser `point` pour une décision quand `confidence_low: true`. Le champ `type` indique aussi la granularité (housenumber > street > locality > municipality).
