Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Google Maps every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Google Maps — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Google Maps?
Google Maps 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 pypi package mcparmory-google-maps was installed 203 times last week.
How do I connect Google Maps?
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 mcparmory-google-maps straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Google Maps?
The pypi package mcparmory-google-maps was installed 203 times in the last week. Week over week that is -17%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Google Maps open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python, 32 stars on GitHub and 3 open issues, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
