| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ip | string | No | IP address of the person (IPv4 or IPv6), used to look up the country when neither `country` nor a locale with a region is given. It is not stored. |
| name | string | Yes | A first name, or a full name to extract the first name from. |
| locale | string | No | Language tag of the person, such as a browser's Accept-Language (it-IT, de-AT). Its region is used as the country when `country` is not given; a tag without a region (en) sets none. |
| country | string | No | Country as an ISO code (TR, DE, US or TUR, DEU, USA) or a country name (Germany, Deutschland). When given, the answer is weighted by that country's data — the same name can have a different gender by country. |

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
