What you can do with Google Maps

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Place, 3 operations

GETnearby_search
Finds places within a specified radius of a location.
GETplace_details
Retrieves comprehensive details about a place including reviews, hours, and contact info.
GETplace_search
Searches for places using text queries with location and type filtering.

Autocomplete, 1 operation

GETplace_autocomplete
Provides place predictions for search-as-you-type interfaces.

Direction, 1 operation

GETdirections
Calculates directions and routes between locations with multiple travel modes.

Distancematrix, 1 operation

GETdistance_matrix
Calculates travel distances and times between multiple origins and destinations.

Elevation, 1 operation

GETelevation
Returns elevation data for locations or along a path.

Geocode, 1 operation

GETgeocode
Converts addresses to coordinates or coordinates to addresses (reverse geocoding).

Staticmap, 1 operation

GETstatic_map
Generates a static map image with markers, paths, and custom styling.

Timezone, 1 operation

GETtimezone
Returns timezone information for a location at a specific time.

Google Maps API rate limits

50 requests per second

Quotas vary by API and billing account

These are the limits Google Maps documents, not ones LiveContext measured. They can change and often depend on your plan, so check the Google Maps documentation for current values.

Use Google Maps from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Google Maps in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Google Maps operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

How to connect Google Maps

Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect Google Maps once
Add your Google Maps connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
Describe the job in chat
The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
