Yatmo MCP tools
Four read-only tools cover the AI-shaped neighbourhood use cases. They all share the same authentication, the same response envelope, and the same category vocabulary.
The four tools
yatmo_get_location_summary— human-readable neighbourhood paragraph plus structured nearest school, nursery, supermarket, transport, and reverse-geocoded place.yatmo_get_nearby_pois— ordered list of POIs around a property, optionally filtered by category, within a radius.yatmo_get_nearest_by_category— the single nearest POI of a category with distance and travel time.yatmo_get_accessibility_profile— public-transport presence, nearest stop, nearest train station, nearest motorway access.
Common response envelope
Every tool returns the same JSON shape, so an AI client can render any tool result with one template:
{
"text": "short summary the AI can quote verbatim",
"facts": { /* structured data, shape depends on the tool */ },
"warnings": [ /* optional notes, e.g. data gaps */ ],
"metadata": { "country": "BE", "language": "FR", "generatedAtUtc": "…" }
}
On error, an additional error field appears (see Authentication · error codes). The envelope never includes a stack trace, internal field names, or your LicenceKey.
Category vocabulary
Tools that accept categories use a fixed, AI-friendly vocabulary — same tokens for every country, with country-specific sub-types resolved server-side.

Why school excludes nursery
The upstream Yatmo taxonomy groups all child-related facilities under one category internally. AI assistants asking “is there a school nearby?” expect schools, not daycare. We split them into two tokens so each returns what the user means. See nearest by category for examples.
