# Google Maps Scraper MCP server

Give your AI agent live Google Maps business search, review, and photo data through one secure [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) connection.

This repository is the public listing and manifest for the hosted G Maps Extractor MCP server. The server runs remotely, so there is no package to install and nothing to host locally.

- Website: [gmapsextractor.com](https://gmapsextractor.com)
- Product page: [Google Maps Scraper MCP](https://gmapsextractor.com/google-maps-scraper-mcp)
- Get an API key: [cloud.gmapsextractor.com](https://gmapsextractor.com/google-maps-scraper-mcp)
- MCP endpoint: `https://cloud.gmapsextractor.com/api/mcp`
- Transport: Streamable HTTP
- Authentication: `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`

## What you can do

- Search businesses by keyword and location, including listing details such as names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, ratings, reviews, and photos.
- Retrieve public Google Maps reviews for reputation research and customer feedback analysis.
- Retrieve public business photos and image URLs for listing enrichment and visual audits.

Common workflows include prospecting research, local market analysis, competitor comparisons, CRM enrichment, reputation analysis, and listing audits.

## Connect

Create an API key in the [G Maps Extractor dashboard](https://cloud.gmapsextractor.com), keep it in a secure environment variable or secret store, and register the remote endpoint with your MCP client.
