Google Maps Platform Code Assist

Google's official remote MCP server: grounds agent answers about Google Maps Platform development in current docs

MCP serverLow risk

googlemaps/platform-aiAuthor: Google Maps Platform

Install

claude mcp add gmp-code-assist http https://mapscodeassist.googleapis.com/mcp

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The server gives the agent two tools. One searches Google Maps Platform docs, code samples, the architecture center and official GitHub repositories. The other returns baseline best practices for the platform. As a result the agent writes code with current products such as Places UI Kit and 3D maps instead of outdated knowledge. Google hosts the server and it needs no authentication.

Who it is for. For developers adding Google maps, routes and place search to their apps.

Good fit when

  • You need to show a Routes API route on a map in React
  • You need to choose between Address Validation and Geocoding
  • You need to migrate an old Places implementation to new components

Not a fit when

  • The project uses Yandex Maps or 2GIS
  • You need to call the Maps API rather than search documentation

Example request

Show me how to display a Routes API route on a map in React and TypeScript

Limitations

The server only searches documentation and does not call the maps APIs. Google Maps Platform services themselves require a key and billing account. The npm version is deprecated; only the remote server is supported. The project is in alpha.

How to disable. Remove the gmp-code-assist server from the client config; in Claude Code use claude mcp remove gmp-code-assist.

not required

Security check

  • The server only searches docs and changes nothing
  • Agent queries go to a Google server

README in short

The README describes the server's tools and notes that the npm version is being deprecated in favor of the remote URL. Gemini CLI gets an extension with a context prompt and theme; Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity and Android Studio get commands and config snippets. It includes sample prompts and terms of use. Apache-2.0 licensed.

FAQ

Do I need an API key?

Not for the server itself, it is open. Your app needs a key to call the maps services.

Are there skills?

Google Maps Platform skills live in the separate googlemaps/agent-skills repository.
