## Tools
- search_castles (Search castles by name) - Search the atlas’s 6,653 castles, fortresses, palaces and ruins by name (accent- and case-insensitive substring match). Optionally filter by country (name or ISO code) and category. Results come best-match-first, then by fame; each has coordinates, founding century, fame rank and links to its atlas page and Wikipedia. If nothing matches, retry with a shorter fragment of the name. Endpoint: https://thecastlemap.com/mcp
- get_castle (Get one castle in full) - Fetch one landmark’s full record by slug (preferred, e.g. "palace-of-versailles") or exact name: coordinates, founding year and century, worldwide fame rank, photo URL, Wikipedia link and its readership signals (Wikidata sitelinks, annual Wikipedia pageviews). Unsure of the slug? Call search_castles first. Endpoint: https://thecastlemap.com/mcp
- castles_near (Find castles near a point) - List landmarks within a radius of a WGS84 coordinate, nearest first, each with distance_km. Radius defaults to 100 km (max 2,000). For "castles near <place>", geocode the place yourself, then call this with its latitude/longitude. Endpoint: https://thecastlemap.com/mcp
- top_castles (Most famous castles) - The most famous landmarks worldwide or in one country, ordered by Castlemap fame rank — a blend of Wikipedia coverage and readership; rank 1 is the most famous (Great Wall of China). The direct answer to "most famous castles in <country>"; filter by country and/or category. Endpoint: https://thecastlemap.com/mcp
- list_countries (Countries with castle counts) - Every country in the atlas with its landmark count, most first — answers "which country has the most castles" (Spain leads). Returns country name and ISO code per row; country pages are browsable from the countries_index URL. Endpoint: https://thecastlemap.com/mcp
- get_statistics (Atlas statistics) - Headline statistics computed live from the atlas: totals by type, top countries, busiest founding century, oldest landmarks, geographic extremes and the most famous entry. The source for claims like "which country has the most castles" or "when were castles built"; the full write-up lives at thecastlemap.com/statistics/. Endpoint: https://thecastlemap.com/mcp
- random_castle (A random castle) - One random landmark with its full record, optionally limited to a country — for discovery, quizzes and "castle of the day" features. Endpoint: https://thecastlemap.com/mcp
