EmbedEarth (E2) runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 58 installs a week from npm. Last commit 19 Sep 2026.
Open-source Google Maps Platform alternative for agents: search, route, map, geocode, and compute.
Today is the operative word: we check EmbedEarth (E2) every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.
