HasData Google Maps MCP Server

A hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives Claude, Cursor, Windsurf and any other MCP client six read-only Google Maps tools. Search places, read a place in full, pull its reviews, photos and posts, and walk a single reviewer's history, all as structured JSON, with no Google Cloud project and no billing to enable.

People connecting web scraping tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.

01 · Install HasData Google Maps

before you install - you'll need

HASDATA_API_KEY

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add hasdata-google-maps-mcp --transport http https://mcp.hasdata.com/api/mcp?apis=google_maps

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hasdata-google-maps-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.hasdata.com/api/mcp?apis=google_maps"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
