HasData Google Maps MCP Server

A hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives Claude, Cursor, Windsurf and any other MCP client six read-only Google Maps tools. Search places, read a place in full, pull its reviews, photos and posts, and walk a single reviewer's history, all as structured JSON, with no Google Cloud project and no billing to enable. Its 5 documented tools cover hasdata, google, maps.

People who work with hasdata, google and maps and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.

Claude Code

claude mcp add hasdata-google-maps-mcp --transport http https://mcp.hasdata.com/api/mcp?apis=google_maps

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

    "hasdata-google-maps-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.hasdata.com/api/mcp?apis=google_maps"
