Tool

Description

fcc_geocode_block

Converts a latitude/longitude coordinate to a census block FIPS code (15-digit), county FIPS, county name, state FIPS, state code, and state name. Required prerequisite for fcc_search_availability.

fcc_search_availability

Queries broadband providers and advertised speeds at a census block, filtered by technology type and speed threshold. The starting point for any address-level broadband lookup.

fcc_get_coverage_summary

Returns a broadband coverage summary for a geography — population with zero, one, two, or three-plus providers at a given speed threshold, split by urban/rural and tribal/non-tribal.

fcc_compare_areas

Compares broadband coverage metrics across multiple geographies of the same type and returns a ranked table sorted by unserved or underserved population.

fcc_find_underserved

Finds geographic areas with limited or no broadband coverage at a given speed threshold, ranked by underserved population. The core tool for BEAD program analysis and broadband equity research.

fcc_search_providers

Searches for ISPs by holding company name, filtered by state and technology type. Returns a deduplicated list with hoconum identifiers for follow-up calls.

fcc_get_provider

Returns a national-level coverage profile for a specific holding company — states served, technologies deployed, and locations covered at each speed tier.

fcc_list_filing_periods

Returns available data vintages: Form 477 filing periods (Jun 2015–Jun 2021) and BDC as-of dates (Jun 2022 onward, requires credentials).

fcc_list_downloads

Lists downloadable BDC data files for a specific as-of date — availability by state and provider, mobile coverage, and challenge data. Requires BDC API credentials.

@cyanheads/fcc-broadband-mcp-server

Access FCC broadband availability, coverage analysis, and digital divide data for US geographies and census blocks via MCP. STDIO or Streamable HTTP.

9 tools for working with FCC broadband data — block-level availability, geography-level coverage analysis, provider search, and BDC bulk download manifests:

Tool	Description
`fcc_geocode_block`	Converts a latitude/longitude coordinate to a census block FIPS code (15-digit), county FIPS, county name, state FIPS, state code, and state name. Required prerequisite for `fcc_search_availability`.
`fcc_search_availability`	Queries broadband providers and advertised speeds at a census block, filtered by technology type and speed threshold. The starting point for any address-level broadband lookup.
`fcc_get_coverage_summary`	Returns a broadband coverage summary for a geography — population with zero, one, two, or three-plus providers at a given speed threshold, split by urban/rural and tribal/non-tribal.
`fcc_compare_areas`	Compares broadband coverage metrics across multiple geographies of the same type and returns a ranked table sorted by unserved or underserved population.
`fcc_find_underserved`	Finds geographic areas with limited or no broadband coverage at a given speed threshold, ranked by underserved population. The core tool for BEAD program analysis and broadband equity research.
`fcc_search_providers`	Searches for ISPs by holding company name, filtered by state and technology type. Returns a deduplicated list with `hoconum` identifiers for follow-up calls.
`fcc_get_provider`	Returns a national-level coverage profile for a specific holding company — states served, technologies deployed, and locations covered at each speed tier.
`fcc_list_filing_periods`	Returns available data vintages: Form 477 filing periods (Jun 2015–Jun 2021) and BDC as-of dates (Jun 2022 onward, requires credentials).
`fcc_list_downloads`	Lists downloadable BDC data files for a specific as-of date — availability by state and provider, mobile coverage, and challenge data. Requires BDC API credentials.

`fcc_geocode_block`

Convert geographic coordinates to a census block FIPS code for broadband availability lookups.

Calls the FCC Geo API — no auth required, no rate limit documented
Returns 15-digit block FIPS, 5-digit county FIPS, county name, state FIPS, 2-letter state code, and state name
Required first step before fcc_search_availability — the broadband deployment dataset is indexed by census block, not address

`fcc_search_availability`

Query which ISPs serve a specific census block and what speeds they advertise.
