Search cities, points of interest, establishments, and named places through `GET https://api.roote.ai/v1/place-search`.

## Arguments [#arguments]

| Argument   | Type   | Required | Constraints      |
| ---------- | ------ | -------- | ---------------- |
| `q`        | string | Yes      | 1–200 characters |
| `lat`      | number | No       | -90 to 90        |
| `lon`      | number | No       | -180 to 180      |
| `language` | string | No       | 1–35 characters  |

If geographic bias is used, `lat` and `lon` must be supplied together. Only one coordinate produces an invalid request. No additional properties are accepted.

## Example [#example]

```json
{
  "name": "place_search",
  "arguments": {
    "q": "pharmacie à Lyon",
    "lat": 45.764,
    "lon": 4.8357,
    "language": "fr"
  }
}
```

The coordinate pair biases ranking; it is not a strict-radius search. Use [`geocode`](/roote-mcp/mcp-tools/geocode) for address resolution.
