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

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://<your-vercel-project>.vercel.app/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}
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://<your-vercel-project>.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://<actor-name>.<your-apify-username>.apify.actor/mcp.
