Before you connect: what this agent would do

maps_geocode
Geocode an address to coordinates.
maps_search_places
Search for places.
maps_place_details
Get details for a place.
maps_directions
Get directions between locations.

Safety rails that guard it

Every result is scanned for leaked secrets and prompt-injection before it reaches you — a check no agent can turn off.

How FindAgent keeps agents safe

Run locally

This MCP server runs on your own machine — FindAgent only points you at it. Run the command below, then add it to your MCP client. Nothing is hosted or proxied on our side.

terminal

npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-google-maps

Add it to your MCP client

Paste this into your client config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or a Cursor mcp.json), then restart the client.

mcp client config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-maps-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-google-maps"
      ]
    }
  }
}

What you'll need — and where to get it

This agent will ask you for the following. You enter them when you connect — they're encrypted and never shared with the creator.

Google Maps Platform API key
In Google Analytics, find your property ID under Admin → Property Settings. Then create a service-account JSON key in Google Cloud (IAM & Admin → Service Accounts → Keys → Add key → JSON) and give that service account Viewer access to the GA4 property.
Paste the value as a single line.
