Summary
Gives Claude and other MCP clients structured access to Google Maps business data without wiring up the Places API directly. You get search_places, place_details, list_reviews, geocode_address, reverse_geocode, and nearby_places as typed tools that return stable JSON. Runs on Apify infrastructure with pay-per-call pricing, so you skip the Google Cloud project setup and quota headaches. Useful when you're building AI agents that need to find local businesses, enrich leads with phone numbers and websites, or answer "near me" queries without sending users out to Google Maps. The underlying scraper can also pull Yelp data if you need cross-platform coverage for lead gen or competitive research workflows.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

Parameters* required
keystringYour application's API key. If not provided, will be extracted from connection metadata.
boundsstringThe bounding box of the viewport within which to bias geocode results more prominently (e.g., '34.172684,-118.604794|34.236144,-118.500938'). This parameter will only influence, not fully restrict, results.

regionstringThe region code, specified as a ccTLD ('top-level domain') two-character value. This parameter will only influence, not fully restrict, results from the geocoder.
addressstringThe street address or plus code that you want to geocode. Provide for geocoding (address to coordinates).
languagestringThe language in which to return results. If language is not supplied, the geocoder attempts to use the preferred language as specified in the Accept-Language header, or the native language of the domain from which the request is sent.
place_idstringThe place ID of the place for which you wish to obtain the human-readable address. Provide for place ID geocoding.
componentsstringA components filter with elements separated by a pipe (|). E.g., 'postal_code:94043|country:US'. Used for geocoding, can be restrictive or biasing.
result_typestringA filter of one or more address types, separated by a pipe (|) (e.g., 'street_address|locality'). Used for reverse geocoding and place ID geocoding.
location_typestringA filter of one or more location types, separated by a pipe (|) (e.g., 'ROOFTOP|RANGE_INTERPOLATED'). Used for reverse geocoding and place ID geocoding.
