Fill in the empty values before running it.

Common questions

Is Gmapsscraper MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: GMAPSSCRAPER_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

gmapsscraper MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for gmapsscraper.io — lets Claude, Cursor, Windsurf and any MCP client scrape Google Maps business data in plain conversation: names, addresses, phones, emails, websites, ratings, review counts, categories and coordinates.

"Find 50 dentists in Chicago with their emails" → done, right in your AI chat.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`scrape_google_maps`	Search Google Maps and return business leads (blocks until done, ~30–120s)
`start_scrape_job`	Fire-and-forget version — returns a job id immediately
`get_scrape_results`	Fetch results of a previously started job
`get_credits`	Check remaining credit balance

Each scrape costs 2 credits; multiple keywords in one call cost the same. Free tier: 10 credits (5 searches, no credit card) — get an API key at gmapsscraper.io/dashboard.

Setup

Claude Code

claude mcp add gmapsscraper -e GMAPSSCRAPER_API_KEY=your_key -- npx -y @gmapsscraper/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json, .cursor/mcp.json, etc.):

"mcpServers": { "gmapsscraper": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@gmapsscraper/mcp"], "env": { "GMAPSSCRAPER_API_KEY": "your_key" } } } }

Cursor Directory / Open Plugins

Installing from a plugin directory uses the bundled mcp.json, which deliberately ships without an env block — the Open Plugins spec only expands ${PLUGIN_ROOT} and ${PLUGIN_DATA}, so a secret placeholder would be passed through literally and the server would fail to authenticate.

Set the key in your own environment before starting the client:

# macOS / Linux — add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc

export GMAPSSCRAPER_API_KEY=your_key

# Windows PowerShell

setx GMAPSSCRAPER_API_KEY "your_key"

Restart the client afterwards so it picks up the variable. If a scrape returns an auth error, run get_credits first — it fails fast and confirms whether the key is being seen.

Requires Node.js ≥ 18. The server runs locally over stdio and talks to the gmapsscraper.io API — no other infrastructure involved.

Example prompts

*"Scrape coffee shops in Austin TX with emails and give me a table"*
*"Find plumbers in Miami, then draft a cold email for the top 5 by rating"*
*"Start a scrape for 'wedding photographer in Denver CO', I'll check back later"*
*"How many gmapsscraper credits do I have left?"*

Data returned per business

title, address, phone, email, website, rating, reviews_count, category, latitude, longitude, google_maps_url, opening_hours

Results are capped at 100 businesses per response to keep your context tidy; the full CSV is always available from the dashboard.

📦 Node.js SDK — npm install @gmapsscraper/sdk (this server is built on it)
