What is the 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.
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
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Google Maps API Key (found in Google Cloud Console > Google Maps Platform > Credentials)
- Start exploring the world from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Travel & Logistics Planners — calculate routes and verify ETAs without manual map searches or distance calculations
- Real Estate & City Analysts — perform geocoding and search for nearby POIs to analyze location quality using natural language conversation
- Support & Sales Teams — quickly look up business details and verify location metadata to resolve customer inquiries in real-time
- Developers — test and debug location-based API parameters and verify PlaceID metadata schemas through natural conversation
Built-in capabilities (4)
Calculate ETA, distance, and optimal route directions between origin and destination
Convert an address or location name into precise geographic coordinates (Latitude / Longitude)
Get deep details of a specific Place (Phone number, reviews, opening hours, website) using its PlaceID
Search for businesses, restaurants, or spots (e.g. "Pizza in New York", "Hospitals near me")
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Google Maps into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Google Maps and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 4 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
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.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
