Über den Server

Maps Grounding Lite connects an assistant to Google Maps Platform data. It can search for places and businesses, look up current and forecast weather, compute driving or walking routes, and resolve place names or Google Maps links into canonical Place IDs. All five tools are read-only.

It runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at mapstools.googleapis.com/mcp, so nothing is installed locally. Google's documentation says to send a Google API key in the X-Goog-Api-Key header; OAuth is also supported. The live probe did not require auth, so check the Google docs for current requirements.

Was du damit machen kannst

  • Search places, businesses and addresses with a text query
  • Get current conditions, hourly and daily weather forecasts
  • Compute driving or walking routes between two locations
  • Resolve place names and addresses to Place IDs in batches
  • Resolve Google Maps share URLs to Place IDs

Einrichtung

Jeder Client verbindet sich mit mapstools.googleapis.com. Wähl deinen; die Seite merkt sich deine Wahl.

Claude Code

  1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport http google-maps https://mapstools.googleapis.com/mcp
  1. Start Claude Code and type /mcp. google-maps should show as connected.

Google Maps Grounding Lite needs an API key. Google’s docs say which header carries it; most servers use Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>.

Claude Desktop

  1. Custom connectors can’t send this server’s key header, so use the mcp-remote bridge. Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config and add:
claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-maps": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mapstools.googleapis.com/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
  1. Replace the placeholder with your key and restart Claude Desktop.

The bridge needs Node.js on your computer.

Cursor

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-maps": {
      "url": "https://mapstools.googleapis.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Google Maps Grounding Lite needs an API key. Google’s docs say which header carries it; most servers use Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>.

VS Code

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"google-maps","type":"http","url":"https://mapstools.googleapis.com/mcp"}'

Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "google-maps": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mapstools.googleapis.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Google Maps Grounding Lite needs an API key. Google’s docs say which header carries it; most servers use Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>.

Devin Desktop

  1. Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):
mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-maps": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mapstools.googleapis.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads serverUrl (or url) for remote servers.

Codex

codex mcp add google-maps --url https://mapstools.googleapis.com/mcp

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml
[mcp_servers.google-maps]
url = "https://mapstools.googleapis.com/mcp"

Google Maps Grounding Lite needs an API key. Google’s docs say which header carries it; most servers use Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>.

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http google-maps https://mapstools.googleapis.com/mcp

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: serverUrl in Devin Desktop, httpUrl in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-maps": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mapstools.googleapis.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings. Cline needs "type": "streamableHttp", or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with npx -y mcp-remote https://mapstools.googleapis.com/mcp.

Häufige Fragen

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/google-maps into my MCP client?

No. mcp.tc links are pages, not server addresses. Connect with https://mapstools.googleapis.com/mcp, so your client talks to Google Maps Grounding Lite directly. Your key goes there too, never to mcp.tc. The quick link is for sharing: it opens this page, with setup steps for every client.

Does Google Maps Grounding Lite need an API key or a sign-in?

Yes. Google Maps Grounding Lite needs an API key. Get one from Google and keep it in your client’s config, never in a shared file.

Is Google Maps Grounding Lite a remote or a local server?

Remote. Google hosts it at https://mapstools.googleapis.com/mcp, and it speaks Streamable HTTP. There’s nothing to install.

What can Google Maps Grounding Lite do?

It has 5 tools, including search_places, lookup_weather und compute_routes. You can Search places, businesses and addresses with a text query, Get current conditions, hourly and daily weather forecasts und Compute driving or walking routes between two locations.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers and can send your key: Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others, and Claude Desktop through the mcp-remote bridge. claude.ai and ChatGPT can’t send a key, so they can’t use it.

Who wrote this page?

mcp.tc’s robot read Google Maps Grounding Lite’s own metadata (its MCP handshake, tool list and public pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can’t confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
