Geocode addresses, calculate directions, and search places using Google Maps API

What is the com.mcparmory/google-maps MCP server?

The Google Maps Platform MCP server connects AI agents to Google Maps APIs for location services. It enables geocoding addresses, calculating directions and routes, and searching for places. The server is auto-generated from Google's OpenAPI specification and tested against the live API.

This server exposes Google Maps capabilities as MCP tools, allowing AI agents to perform location-based tasks like converting addresses to coordinates, finding optimal routes between locations, and discovering nearby places. Use it when you need geographic data, routing information, or place details integrated into agent workflows.

  • Calculate directions — Find routes and directions between locations with distance and duration
  • Search places — Search for and retrieve information about places, businesses, and landmarks

Use cases

  • Find coordinates for a given address to use in location-based applications
  • Calculate optimal routes and travel times between multiple locations
  • Search for nearby restaurants, hotels, or services in a specific area
  • Validate addresses and get geographic information for data enrichment
  • Build location-aware chatbots that understand and respond to geographic queries

Install & Usage

Every server is a standalone PyPI package (mcparmory-<server-name>). Each server's own README.md has full credential setup and configuration instructions.

# With uvx (no install needed)
uvx mcparmory-github

# With pip
pip install mcparmory-github
mcparmory-github

MCP client configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Claude Code):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcparmory-github"],
      "env": {
        "BEARER_TOKEN": "ghp_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Features

Every server in this registry provides:

  • Full API coverage — all endpoints from the OpenAPI spec are exposed as MCP tools
  • Authentication — API key, Bearer token, Basic auth, OAuth2, JWT, OpenID Connect, and mutual TLS
  • Multi-auth — servers that support multiple auth methods let you configure whichever you prefer
  • Pydantic validation — request parameters are validated before sending to the API
  • Resilience — configurable retries with exponential backoff, connection pooling, and timeouts
  • Response sanitization — optional redaction of sensitive fields from API responses

How servers are generated

Servers are generated by MCP Blacksmith, an automated pipeline that:

  1. Parses an OpenAPI specification
  2. Transforms operations through LLM-driven passes (naming, parameter filtering, enhancement, classification)
  3. Generates a complete MCP server with auth, models, validation, and configuration
  4. Tests every tool against the live API using an autonomous agent
  5. Deploys passing servers to this registry

The generator targets Python 3.11+ and uses FastMCP as the MCP framework.

Contributing

Servers are auto-generated — don't edit server code directly. If you find an issue, open a GitHub Issue describing:

  • Broken or deprecated endpoints
  • Missing or incorrect parameters
  • Authentication problems
  • Incorrect request/response models

We'll re-generate the affected server with the fix. To request a new server, open an issue with a link to the API's OpenAPI spec or documentation.

License

Each generated server is released under the MIT License. The underlying APIs have their own terms of service — see individual server READMEs for details.
