This MCP server integrates with Google Places API to allow searching, retrieving details, and finding nearby places.
The Google Places MCP Server is designed to facilitate seamless integration with the Google Places API, enabling users to perform a variety of location-based queries. This server supports searching for places using text queries, retrieving detailed information about specific places, and finding nearby places based on geographic coordinates. It offers two transport methods: Server-Sent Events (SSE) for real-time communication and standard HTTP for message exchange. The server is highly configurable, requiring a Google Maps API key and supporting various optional parameters to refine search results. It is ideal for applications that need to incorporate location-based services, such as travel apps, local business directories, or any service that benefits from geographic data.
