Google Maps Scraper MCP server

Give your AI agent live Google Maps business search, review, and photo data through one secure Model Context Protocol connection.

This repository is the public listing and manifest for the hosted G Maps Extractor MCP server. The server runs remotely, so there is no package to install and nothing to host locally.
