Frequently asked questions about the TIGER/Line Geocoder (Census) MCP Server
Can I get census tract and block information from a single address string?
Yes! Use the geocode_oneline tool with returntype set to 'geographies'. Provide the address and a benchmark (like 'Public_AR_Current') to receive full geographic metadata.
How do I find out which census area a specific GPS coordinate belongs to?
Use the geocode_coordinates tool. Input the longitude (x) and latitude (y) along with a benchmark and vintage. The agent will return the specific census layers for that point.
Does this server support geocoding for addresses in Puerto Rico?
Yes, specifically via the geocode_address_pr tool. It includes fields for 'urb' (Urbanization) and 'municipio' which are essential for accurate Puerto Rico address matching.
