Overview
Google provides a first-party Maps MCP server that grounds agents in Google Maps data: place search and details, directions and routing, geocoding/reverse geocoding, and location context. It authenticates with a Google Maps Platform API key. Because it consumes a metered, billable API, API-key scoping and quota controls are relevant to abuse-prevention security review.
