Reference MCP server for Google Maps directions, places, and geocoding. Lets Claude resolve location queries and build routing recommendations. Originally a modelcontextprotocol reference; archived upstream.

What it does

  • Seven Maps tools: geocode, reverse geocode, place search/details, distance matrix, elevation, directions
  • npx `@modelcontextprotocol/server-google-maps` + GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY env
  • Distance/directions support driving, walking, bicycling, transit modes

When to use it

Give an agent real geography: 'find coffee near this address', 'is the commute shorter by transit?', mileage estimates for expense workflows. Anything where the model would otherwise hallucinate a distance.

Getting started

Create a Google Maps API key in Google Cloud Console, then:

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-google-maps"],
  "env": { "GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY": "..." }
}

Things to know

Archived upstream. Every call bills your Google Cloud account — restrict the key to the Maps APIs you actually use and set quota alerts. No result-caching layer; chatty agents can run up real costs.
