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 OpenAI Agents SDK?

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.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
