`get_cell`

Pack: opencellid · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/opencellid/mcp

Geolocate a cell tower by mobile network identifiers. MCC = Mobile Country Code, MNC = Mobile Network Code, LAC = Location Area Code, cell_id = Cell ID. Returns lat/lon, range, samples, radio type (GSM/UMTS/LTE).

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`mcc`	number	yes	Mobile Country Code (e.g., 310 = US)
`mnc`	number	yes	Mobile Network Code (e.g., 410 = AT&T US)
`lac`	number	yes	Location Area Code
`cell_id`	number	yes	Cell ID
`radio`	string	no	GSM \| UMTS \| LTE \| CDMA (optional disambiguation)
