npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-google-mapsAbout Google Maps
The Google Maps server wraps the Maps Platform APIs: geocoding, reverse geocoding, place search, place details, directions, distance matrix, and elevation.
Useful when you want the assistant to ground answers in real geography — "what's the closest coffee shop to this address that opens before 7am" or "estimate the drive time from A to B at 4pm on a weekday."
Requires a Google Maps API key with the relevant APIs enabled in Google Cloud.
