# reverse_geocode

> Convert coordinates to an address

Reverse geocode: convert geographic coordinates into a human-readable address or place name. Returns the nearest matching locations sorted by proximity.

You can filter by place type (venue, address, street, locality) to control the level of detail.

## Example prompts

* "What address is at 51.5034, -0.1276?"
* "What's at these coordinates: 48.8584, 2.2945?"
* "Tell me the nearest street address to this lat/lng"
* "What neighbourhood is this point in?"

## What you get back

The nearest location(s) with coordinates, a full label, country, region, district (e.g. borough or municipality), locality, neighbourhood, optional confidence score (omitted when 1.0), and result type. Each result also carries the straight-line `distance_meters` from the input point and — when the result isn't sitting on top of the input — a `bearing_deg` (0–360) plus 8-point `bearing_compass` (e.g. `"NE"`). By default returns a single result; you can ask for more.

When you request multiple results and they all share the same country / region, those fields are hoisted into a top-level `context` object so they aren't repeated on every row.

## Map rendering

Responses include a `render` envelope with a `point` layer for the resolved location(s). Pass `compact: true` for summary-only responses. See [response defaults & controls](/mcp/defaults) and [render envelopes](/mcp/render-envelopes).
