Frequently asked questions about the REST Countries Alternative MCP Server
How do I retrieve a list of all countries with specific data points?
Use the get_all_countries tool. You must provide a comma-separated list in the fields parameter (e.g., 'name,capital,population') to specify exactly which information you want to receive.
Can I find countries based on the currency they use?
Yes! Use the search_by_currency tool and provide the currency name or code (like 'euro' or 'USD'). The agent will return all countries where that currency is legal tender.
Is it possible to filter countries by their geographic region?
Absolutely. Use the filter_by_region tool with values like 'Europe', 'Americas', 'Asia', 'Africa', or 'Oceania' to get a list of countries in that specific part of the world.
