This MCP connects your workflow to the official Paris open data sets for trees, water, heat-island response, and public health tools like AEDs. Whether you are planning a walking route through shaded streets or need to find a place to refill water, your agent handles the filtering and retrieval. You can drill down into specific arrondissements or search for remarkable trees by their scientific or common names. It's a direct line to the city's environmental and safety inventories. ## Tools ### find_water_shops Locate small shops in Paris that sell or act as refill points for eau de Paris.
