Location search, geocoding, directions, and place details
The Google Maps MCP Server provides location search, geocoding, directions, and place details through the Google Maps Platform API. Your AI assistant can look up addresses, find nearby places, calculate routes, and get detailed information about locations.
Part of the official MCP reference servers, this server wraps the Google Maps Platform APIs including Places, Geocoding, Directions, and Distance Matrix. It requires a Google Maps API key for access.
Useful for any workflow that involves location data, travel planning, business lookups, or geographic analysis.
