Common questions

Is Google Maps MCP Server 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Google Maps MCP Server

A standalone Model Context Protocol server that exposes Google Maps business search as a single MCP tool, backed by Techforce Global's Google Maps Scraper Apify Actor.

Tool

search_google_maps

Search Google Maps for businesses/places by keyword and location.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
searchQueriesstring[]yesOne or more search terms, e.g. "restaurants in Delhi"
maxResultsintegernoMax places per query (default 20, max 500)
languagestringnoLanguage code for results, e.g. "en"

Returns structured JSON: business name, address, phone, rating, opening hours, and GPS coordinates.

Authentication

Every request must include your own Apify API token:

Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>

Usage is billed to the token owner's Apify account, not to Techforce Global. Get your token at Apify Console → Settings → Integrations.

Installation

Hosted (recommended)

Connect directly to the hosted endpoint — no install required:

https://<your-vercel-project>.vercel.app/mcp

Example client config (Claude Desktop / any MCP client supporting Streamable HTTP):

{

"mcpServers": { "google-maps": { "url": "https:// .vercel.app/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer " } } } }

Run locally
npm install

npm start

Server listens on http://localhost:4000/mcp.

Deploying on Vercel (free)

This project includes a serverless entry point (api/mcp.js) and a vercel.json rewrite so the public endpoint is available at a clean /mcp path.

  1. Go to vercel.com, sign in, click Add New → Project.
  2. Import this GitHub repo (Sagar27888/google-maps-mcp-server).
  3. Framework preset: Other. No build command needed — Vercel auto-detects the api/ folder.
  4. Click Deploy.
  5. The public endpoint becomes available at https:// .vercel.app/mcp.

Deploying on Apify (alternative)

This project is also an Apify Actor configured for Standby mode, which turns it into a long-running HTTP service instead of a one-shot batch job.

  1. Push this project to an Actor on your Apify account (Apify Console → Actors → Create new → connect this source, or use the Apify CLI: apify push).
  2. In the Actor's Settings → Standby, enable Standby mode.
  3. The public endpoint becomes available at https:// . .apify.actor/mcp.
