Overview

The GeoNames gazetteer: 13M+ places worldwide, each keyed by a stable integer geonameId and linked into an administrative tree from continent to neighborhood. Search places by name and filters, read a place's full record, climb or descend its admin hierarchy, reverse geocode a coordinate, look up postal codes, and read country facts. Runs as a stdio process or a local Streamable HTTP server.
