Google Maps Platform Code Assist
A Google-hosted MCP server that helps coding agents write Google Maps Platform code.
What it does
A Google-hosted MCP server that helps coding agents write Google Maps Platform code. Instead of acting on Maps data, it answers questions from a retrieval index built over Google's Maps documentation, code samples, architecture guides and official GitHub repositories, and it can hand the agent a set of Maps Platform working instructions. Clients connect to mapscodeassist.googleapis.com over Streamable HTTP; listing its tools needs no sign-in. Google labels it Experimental and says there is no charge while it stays at that stage. The earlier npm package and its GitHub repository are retired in favour of this hosted endpoint, and the repository's notes give setup for Gemini CLI, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity and Android Studio.
Capabilities
- Search Google Maps Platform docs, samples and official repositories
- Return Maps Platform best-practice instructions to the agent
