`county_for_point`

Pack: fcc · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/county_for_point for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Lightweight reverse geocode: return just the county and state for a US latitude/longitude (decimal degrees) — county FIPS + name, state FIPS + code + name. Convenience wrapper over the FCC block-find service for when you only need the containing county/state, not the full block record.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`lat`	number	yes	Latitude in decimal degrees.
`lon`	number	yes	Longitude in decimal degrees.
