Find air-quality monitoring stations (measured by physical sensors, not modeled) near a point, within a bounding box, or by country. Returns each station's id, name, coordinates, distance from the query point (when searching by coordinates), country, provider, the parameters its sensors measure, and the timestamp of its most recent data (datetimeLast). Required first step: openaq_get_readings and openaq_get_measurements key on the location id this returns. Coverage is uneven and real — a station only reports the parameters it measures, and the absence of a nearby station means no monitoring there, not clean air. For dense modeled coverage anywhere on Earth, use open-meteo-mcp-server's air-quality tool instead.
