Official serverRemoteDatabases

1. Add the server

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-maps": {
      "url": "https://mapstools.googleapis.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

2. Sign in

Cursor prompts you to sign in the first time a remote OAuth server is used. Google Maps is hosted by Google, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.

3. Try it

Ask Cursor for something Google Maps can do. Ground answers in Google Maps places and geospatial data. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.

· Remote servers take a url; local servers take command and args.
· Values can reference ${env:NAME} so secrets stay out of the file.
