About this agent

Google Maps Platform's managed MCP server for grounding answers in location data. Agents can search places, check weather, compute driving or walking routes, and resolve place names or Maps URLs. It authenticates with a Maps Platform API key or OAuth. Routes come without turn-by-turn directions or live traffic.
