## Description

You can now give your AI agent a deep understanding of Moscow's urban fabric. Instead of searching through fragmented maps, you use this MCP to query specific layers of the city's history. You can pinpoint the exact architect of a manor, find the location of a Great Patriotic War memorial, or identify the floor count of a specific Stalinist high-rise. The data includes everything from the Seven Sisters to the small commemorative plaques found throughout the Garden Ring. Whether you are looking for the ruins of the White City or the details of a late-Soviet giant, your AI client can pull the coordinates and historical context instantly. It turns your agent into a specialized architectural researcher for the Moscow region.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What kind of buildings are included in the high-rise tool?**
It covers Stalinist high-rises, the Moscow City towers, and late-Soviet giants with 12 or more floors.

**Can I find information about specific architects?**
Yes, the find_historic_buildings tool provides the architect for about 1,100 tagged buildings and manors.

**Does this cover memorial plaques?**
Yes, the find_plaques tool covers the commemorative signs found throughout central Moscow, especially inside the Garden Ring.

**How much data is available for monuments?**
The tool provides access to over 2,000 monuments and memorials, including Great Patriotic War sites.

**Is there Wikipedia integration?**
Yes, the architecture_wiki tool pulls the Moscow architecture roll directly from Russian Wikipedia.

**Do I need an API key?**
No. Every source is keyless and global: OpenStreetMap (Overpass + Nominatim) and Russian Wikipedia. The MCP defines no credentials.

**Is the heritage list official?**
The map layer is the volunteer view; the protected list is Russian Wikipedia’s category of architectural monuments. For an official register, Moscow’s own portal refuses connections from outside Russia.

**Why do some high-rises not appear?**
The floor filter is a regex over the building:levels tag. Buildings whose level count is unmapped in OSM are invisible to this tool, whatever their real height.

**Can I find monuments near a point?**
Pass lat + lon (and optionally km, 0.1–25) and the query narrows to a radius instead of the whole city. Do it before a long list — a citywide scan is capped at 200 rows.
