Google Maps is the world’s most popular mapping platform with millions of businesses and places. The Google Maps MCP server lets you search places, get details, and collect reviews using natural language.

​
What Can It Do?

  • Search places by keyword, category, or location
  • Get place details including contact info, ratings, and hours
  • Collect customer reviews for reputation monitoring
  • Build lead lists with geo-targeted searches

​
Where to Use It

Add Google Maps as a tool to any agent. The agent can then search and explore location data conversationally, choosing the right actions based on context. To add an MCP tool to your agent:
  1. Open your agent’s configuration
  2. Click Add tools → Connect an app with MCP
  3. Search for the integration and select it
  4. Authenticate with your account
You can control which tools your agent has access to. After adding an integration, click on it to enable or disable specific tools based on what your agent needs.

​
In Workflows (Via Agent Node)

For automated pipelines, use an Agent Node with Google Maps tools. This gives you the flexibility of an agent within a deterministic workflow.

​
As a Custom MCP Node

You can also create a standalone MCP node for a specific action. This generates a reusable node that performs one task, useful when you need the same operation repeatedly in workflows.
To create a custom MCP node:
  1. Go to your node library and search for the integration
  2. Click Create a node with AI
  3. Describe the specific action you want (e.g., “Find coffee shops near Times Square”)
  4. Test the node and save it for reuse
Custom MCP nodes are single-purpose by design. For tasks that require multiple steps or dynamic decision-making, use an agent instead.

​
Troubleshooting

Agents are smart enough to chain multiple API calls together. For example, asking “Get reviews for the best-rated coffee shop in Seattle” will search first, then get reviews. If results seem off, check the agent’s step-by-step reasoning.
