NYTimes Geographic API MCP connector

The NYTimes Geographic API extends the NYTimes Semantic API by adding geographic data from GeoNames to provide enhanced location concepts and contextual information. The NYTimes Geographic API MCP connector allows AI agents to retrieve geographic metadata for specific concepts, search locations by name or coordinates, and access detailed place information including population and elevation data. It also supports filtering geographic results by concept type and exploring hierarchical relationships between locations.
