- Configure once: `mcporter config add grounding-lite --url https://mapstools.googleapis.com/mcp --header "X-Goog-Api-Key=$GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY"`
|
|
- Or ad-hoc: `mcporter call "https://mapstools.googleapis.com/mcp.search_places" --header "X-Goog-Api-Key=$GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY" text_query="..."`
|
|
|
|
Search places
|
|
- `mcporter call grounding-lite.search_places text_query="coffee shops near Central Park"`
|
|
- With bias: `mcporter call grounding-lite.search_places text_query="pizza" location_bias='{"center":{"latitude":40.7829,"longitude":-73.9654},"radius":2000}'`
|
|
|
|
Lookup weather
|
|
- `mcporter call grounding-lite.lookup_weather location='{"address":"San Francisco, CA"}' units_system=IMPERIAL`
|
|
- By coords: `mcporter call grounding-lite.lookup_weather location='{"lat_lng":{"latitude":37.77,"longitude":-122.41}}'`
|
|
- Forecast: `mcporter call grounding-lite.lookup_weather location='{"address":"New York, NY"}' date='{"year":2026,"month":1,"day":28}' hour=14`
|
|
|

Notes
|
|
- Rate limits: search_places (100 QPM, 1K QPD), lookup_weather (300 QPM), compute_routes (300 QPM)
|
|
- Weather has regional restrictions (US locations work; some international may not)
|
|
- Responses include Google Maps links - include in user-facing output
|
|
- API key security: restrict to `mapstools.googleapis.com` in Cloud Console
