Can my agent find the latitude and longitude of an address via Google Maps?

Yes. Use the 'geocode' tool. Provide the physical address or location name, and the agent will translate the string into precise geographic coordinates required for spatial analysis flawlessly.

How do I get reviews and opening hours for a restaurant via chat?

First, use 'place_search' to find the restaurant and its PlaceID. Then, use 'place_details' with that ID. Your agent will fetch the full payload including reviews, ratings, and operating hours natively.

Can I calculate the driving time between two cities through the agent?

Absolutely. Use the 'directions' tool. Provide the origin and destination addresses and set the mode to 'driving'. The agent will return the distance and estimated time of arrival (ETA) synchronously.

About Google Maps MCP Server

Connect your Google Maps Platform account to any AI agent and take full control of your geospatial intelligence, place discovery, and routing through natural conversation.

The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 4 tools from Google Maps through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns. chain multiple agents where one queries Google Maps, another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius.

What you can do

Geocoding Orchestration — Convert physical addresses or location names into precise geographic coordinates (Latitude/Longitude) translating human readable locations into spatial API bounds flawlessly
Place Discovery — Finds physical entities within Google Maps database matching text queries like 'Restaurants in New York', retrieving critical PlaceIDs for deep introspection natively
Rich Metadata Retrieval — Retrieve deep details of specific places including phone numbers, user reviews, opening hours, and websites using PlaceIDs to bypass generic search arrays synchronously
Route & ETA Calculation — Triggers routing engine identifying physical transit maps resolving directions, distance, and optimal time calculations between origin and destination bounds flawlessly
Travel Mode Support — Execute directions queries for driving, walking, bicycling, or transit modes to verify travel logistics and ETAs synchronously across your environment
Geospatial Intelligence — Analyze specific localized coordinates to verify presence and proximity of businesses or landmarks within the Google Maps ecosystem securely

The Google Maps MCP Server exposes 4 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to OpenAI Agents SDK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
