Key Capabilities
Real-time US Address Validation
When a user types an address, use `autocomplete_us_address` to predict completions instantly. This prevents slow loading spinners and keeps the UI feeling fast. You get live suggestions as they type, making data entry feel natural. The core validation happens with `validate_us_address`. Your agent calls this tool when the user commits an address, getting back a Delivery Point Validation (DPV) status and coordinates right in the stream.
Extracting Addresses from Raw Text
Don't make the user copy/paste. Use `extract_addresses` to pull physical addresses out of messy text, emails, or documents they provide. This is crucial for data capture when you can't trust manual input. The tool doesn't just find a match; it pulls structured address components from unstructured content. It’s the first step before sending anything else to the validation tools.
International Validation & Geocoding
Handling foreign addresses is tricky. Call `validate_intl_address` when you need to check a street address and country combination globally. The tool validates the structure and returns geocoded coordinates for accuracy. If you only have a ZIP code, use `verify_zip_code` first. This confirms the city and state before running a full international validation cycle through the MCP Server.
