Google Maps MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Google Maps MCP Server?
Google Maps MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @cablate/mcp-google-map was installed 1 401 times last week.
How do I connect Google Maps MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @cablate/mcp-google-map straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Google Maps MCP Server?
The npm package @cablate/mcp-google-map was installed 1 401 times in the last week. Week over week that is +137%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Google Maps MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 487 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
