Google Maps MCP serverand Python AI tasks

qbash hosts a Google Maps MCP server you can use in Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Grok Bot and Muse.

Developers use qbash Tasks to write cloud-hosted Python functions that pair Google Maps with models such as Claude and GPT.

MCP server

Build a Google Maps MCP server

Give ChatGPT, Claude and your other AI tools access to Google Maps through one server. You pick which Google Maps tools it shares, and you can add other connectors, memory folders and Tasks to the same server.

How to set it up

  1. Connect Google Maps on the qbash Connectors page.
  2. Create an MCP server and add the Google Maps tools you want to share.
  3. Paste the server URL into your client. It connects with OAuth or an access token.

Python AI task

Write a Google Maps task in Python

A qbash Task is a hosted Python function that calls Google Maps and AI models.

Shortlist nearby cafes for an office event

Search around a location, then ask an inline prompt to pick the strongest options with their addresses and place IDs.

main.py
report = qbash.integrations.google_maps.nearby_search(
    lat="43.6532",
    lng="-79.3832",
    radius=1000,
    type="cafe",
    max_results=10,
)
places = report.get("results", [])
if places:
    shortlist = qbash.ai.run_prompt(
        slug="google-maps-venue-shortlist",
        variables={"places": json.dumps(places)},
    )
    qbash.output(shortlist)
else:
    qbash.output("No cafes were returned near this location.")
Sample nearby_search response
{
  "status": "success",
  "results": [
    {
      "name": "Example Cafe",
      "address": "100 Example Street",
      "lat": 43.654,
      "lng": -79.384,
      "rating": 4.5,
      "place_id": "example-place",
      "types": [
        "cafe",
        "food"
      ]
    }
  ],
  "count": 1
}

What the Google Maps connector can do

  • Convert an address, city/state, or zip code to lat/lng coordinates
  • Convert lat/lng coordinates to a human-readable address
  • Calculate travel time and distance between two points
  • Find places near a location by type or keyword
  • Get detailed info about a specific place by place_id
  • Get timezone information for a lat/lng location

qbash Tasks: AI applications in Python

A Task is a Python function that calls Google Maps, your other connectors and models such as Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok. qbash hosts and runs it.

  • Deterministic where it counts Write the logic in Python and call a model only for the steps that need judgement, so the rest runs the same way every time.
  • Version controlled Every save is a revision you can compare and roll back.
  • Logged Each run records its inputs, output, errors and what started it.
  • Shared credentials Connections belong to your organization, so a Task keeps working when its author is away.

Google Maps MCP questions

Does Google have an official Google Maps MCP server?

Yes. Google offers Maps Grounding Lite, a managed MCP server at mapstools.googleapis.com. The qbash server calls the Maps web service APIs at maps.googleapis.com with your own key, and the same methods run in Python tasks.
