## What it does

The server is hosted, so there is no local process to run. Your client connects over Streamable HTTP to `https://cloud.gmapsextractor.com/api/mcp` and sends `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY` on each request. Grab a key from the G Maps Extractor dashboard and keep it in an environment variable or secret store rather than pasting it into a config file you commit.

Three tools come with it. `search_google_maps` takes a query and location and returns names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, ratings, review counts and photos; the `extra` flag adds emails, social profiles and more detail. `get_place_reviews` pulls public reviews for an `fid` from a search, sorted by relevance, recency or rating. `get_place_photos` returns public images and their URLs.

Nothing works until the key is valid, so create the account first and register the endpoint after. The repository itself is a listing: `server.json` for MCP Registry metadata, a ready `.mcp.json` for clients, and `llms-install.md` with short setup notes for agents.

## When to use it
- build a list of businesses in a niche and city with phones and sites
- pull the newest reviews for one location and spot repeated complaints
- flag restaurants whose listings carry few photos
- compare ratings of nearby competitors
- enrich CRM records with emails and social profiles from search results

## Example prompts
- Get the newest reviews for this place by its `fid` and summarize recurring complaints
- Retrieve public photos for these restaurant `fid` values and list the ones with little visual content
