Is Google Maps Places, Reviews & Local Leads API MCP Server working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 184 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 322 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Google Maps Places, Reviews & Local Leads API MCP Server as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Google Maps Places, Reviews & Local Leads API 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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Google Maps Places, Reviews & Local Leads API MCP Server need an API key?

No. Google Maps Places, Reviews & Local Leads API MCP Server completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
