What is the Google Maps Platform MCP Server?
Connect Google Maps Platform to any AI agent and access the world's most accurate location intelligence — from turn-by-turn directions and distance matrices to rich place details and timezone data.
What you can do
- Geocoding — Convert any address into precise latitude/longitude coordinates
- Place Details — Get comprehensive info for any business (hours, phone, ratings, reviews)
- Directions & Routing — Calculate routes for driving, walking, cycling, or public transit
- Distance Matrix — Compare travel times and distances between multiple locations
- Nearby Search — Find businesses or points of interest around a specific location
- Elevation & Timezone — Get altitude data and timezone info for any coordinate
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Google Maps API Key
- Start navigating and discovering locations from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Google Maps provides the gold standard in global mapping data, used by millions of developers.
Who is this for?
- Travelers — Get precise directions, travel times, and find nearby amenities like restaurants or gas stations
- Logistics Coordinators — Calculate efficient routes and compare travel times for multiple stops
- Developers — Integrate accurate geocoding and rich place data into their applications
Built-in capabilities (9)
Useful to get the Place ID or location before getting details. Find a place based on a text query
g., "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA") and need the exact GPS coordinates. Returns the formatted address and the place_id. Convert a physical address into geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude)
Supports modes: "driving" (default), "walking", "bicycling", "transit". Get travel directions between two points
Origins and destinations can be single or multiple addresses/coordinates separated by pipe (|). Calculate travel distance and time for multiple origins and destinations
Input can be single "lat,lng" or multiple locations. Get elevation data for locations on the earth
Requires a valid Place ID obtained from other search tools. Get detailed information about a specific place using its Place ID
Essential for scheduling across time zones. Get timezone information for a specific location
Useful for identifying locations from GPS data. Convert GPS coordinates back into a physical address
You can filter by "type" (e.g., "restaurant", "gas_station") or "keyword". Radius is in meters. Search for places of interest near a specific coordinate

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Google Maps API Key?
Go to the Google Cloud Console, create a project, enable the Maps APIs (Geocoding, Places, Directions, etc.), and generate an API Key in the Credentials section.
What is a Place ID?
A Place ID is a unique text identifier for a place (e.g., 'ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4'). You can get it using the 'search_nearby_places' or 'find_place_from_text' tools, and use it to get detailed info via 'get_place_details'.
Can I get travel times for public transit?
Yes! Use 'get_directions' or 'get_distance_matrix' with mode set to 'transit'. Note that transit data availability depends on the city and Google's coverage.
How does Mastra AI connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCPClient with the server URL and pass it to your agent. Mastra discovers all tools and makes them available with full TypeScript types.
Can Mastra agents use tools from multiple servers?
Yes. Pass multiple MCP clients to the agent constructor. Mastra merges all tool schemas and the agent can call any tool from any server.
Does Mastra support workflow orchestration?
Yes. Mastra has a built-in workflow engine that lets you chain MCP tool calls with branching logic, error handling, and parallel execution.
