About SafeGraph MCP Server
Empower your AI with direct connectivity to SafeGraph, the foundational geospatial and mobility dataset trusted by top analytics and enterprise organizations globally. This robust integration converts your AI into an expert geographical analyst capable of retrieving precise intelligence surrounding global structures, Points of Interest (POIs), and detailed patterns—all without touching complex database pipelines.
Google ADK natively supports SafeGraph as an MCP tool provider. declare Vinkius Edge URL and the framework handles discovery, validation, and execution automatically. Combine 10 tools with Gemini's long-context reasoning for complex multi-tool workflows, with production-ready session management and evaluation built in.
What you can do
- Rich Context on POIs — Fetch exhaustive lists of businesses or brands within targeted radii (
search_distance_radius,search_brand_places). You can also slice the results according to their designated NAICS industry codes region-to-region (search_industry_naics). - Deep Geospatial Footprints — Look up exact WKT polygons for targeted individual buildings (
lookup_building_geometry) or identify everything bounded inside designated custom city borders (search_wkt_polygon). Understand structural hierarchies immediately by querying parent containers like malls or industrial complexes (lookup_parent_polygon). - Pedestrian and Mobility Insights — Audit recent visit metrics, dwell times, and absolute foot traffic measurements attached to individual structures leveraging historical aggregation points (
lookup_place_patterns). - Native GraphQL Exploration — Pass perfectly structured GraphQL queries straight to the root mapping infrastructure for fully-unlocked edge cases (
graphql_raw_query). Request and resolve bulk Placekeys efficiently on demand (batch_lookup_placekeys).
The SafeGraph MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Google ADK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Google ADK with the SafeGraph MCP Server
Google ADK provides unique advantages when paired with SafeGraph through the Model Context Protocol.
Google ADK natively supports MCP tool servers. declare a tool provider and the framework handles discovery, validation, and execution
Built on Gemini models, ADK provides long-context reasoning ideal for complex multi-tool workflows with SafeGraph
Production-ready features like session management, evaluation, and deployment come built-in. not bolted on
Seamless integration with Google Cloud services means you can combine SafeGraph tools with BigQuery, Vertex AI, and Cloud Functions
SafeGraph + Google ADK Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Google ADK combined with the SafeGraph MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Enterprise data agents: ADK agents query SafeGraph and cross-reference results with internal databases for comprehensive analysis
Multi-modal workflows: combine SafeGraph tool responses with Gemini's vision and language capabilities in a single agent
Automated compliance checks: schedule ADK agents to query SafeGraph regularly and flag policy violations or configuration drift
Internal tool platforms: build self-service agent platforms where teams connect their own MCP servers including SafeGraph
SafeGraph MCP Tools for Google ADK (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect SafeGraph to Google ADK via MCP:
batch_lookup_placekeys
Provide them as a JSON array. Performs multiple Placekey lookups in a single request
graphql_raw_query
Provide the query string and optional variables. Executes a raw GraphQL query against the SafeGraph API
lookup_building_geometry
Retrieves the building footprint (polygon) for a specific Placekey
lookup_parent_polygon
Identifies the parent Placekey for a location (e.g., mall or airport)
lookup_place_patterns
Retrieves historical foot traffic patterns for a specific Placekey
lookup_placekey
Retrieves detailed attributes for a specific location by its Placekey
search_brand_places
g., "Starbucks") in a specific city. Searches for locations of a specific brand in a city
search_distance_radius
Specify lat, lon, and radius in meters. Searches for places within a specific radius from a point
search_industry_naics
Searches for places by NAICS industry code and region
search_wkt_polygon
Finds all places within a specific geometric polygon (WKT)
Example Prompts for SafeGraph in Google ADK
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Google ADK agent to start working with SafeGraph immediately.
"Search for all the Starbucks branches strictly inside the city of Seattle, WA."
"Check what the detailed building geometry polygon is for Placekey '22m-xyz-1234'."
"Can you gather the historical pedestrian traffic patterns evaluating typical visit frequencies around Placekey '123-abc-987'?"
