Google Maps MCP Server

What it does

A community MCP server and command-line tool that calls Google Maps Platform APIs with your own API key. It exposes 18 tools, all marked read-only: geocoding and reverse geocoding, place search and details, nearby and along-route search, directions, distance matrices, multi-stop route ordering, elevation, time zones, weather, air quality, static map images, and a grid-based local ranking tracker. It runs locally over stdio through npx or as a self-hosted Streamable HTTP server, and the same tools are callable from the CLI. The repository also ships three skills and plugin setups for Codex and Claude Code. It needs Node.js 22 and a key from a billing-enabled Google Cloud project; the README warns that live calls may be billed.
