## TL;DR

### How Atomic Agent connects to Google Maps
Atomic Agent connects to Composio's Tool Router over Streamable HTTP MCP. It discovers the tools needed for your request, and Composio handles account authentication.
Execution and account-connection tools follow Atomic Agent's configured approval policy. Review any approval prompt before allowing an action on your connected account.

## Connect Google Maps to Atomic Agent

### Connect Google Maps to Atomic Agent
- Sign up or sign in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-api-key). Copy your API key.
- In Atomic Agent, open the Integrations tab and select Composio. Select API key, press e, paste the key, and press Enter. The tools become available immediately, without a restart.
- Ask Atomic Agent to do something in Google Maps. It searches Composio for the right tool.
- On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Google Maps account, then return to Atomic Agent to continue.
### Headless setup
Add the following line to ~/.atomic-agent/.env, replacing YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY with your key. Start Atomic Agent after saving the file.

```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY
```

## What is the Google Maps MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Google maps MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Google Maps account. It provides structured and secure access to advanced location, routing, and place data, so your agent can perform actions like finding places, calculating routes, searching nearby locations, and generating map embeds on your behalf.
- Instant directions and route planning: Let your agent fetch detailed step-by-step directions or calculate optimal routes between addresses, including support for waypoints and various travel modes.
- Proximity-based place search: Effortlessly search for restaurants, parks, or other place types within a specific area, filtered by your preferences and needs.
- Distance and travel time calculations: Have your agent determine travel distance and estimated time between multiple origins and destinations, factoring in real-world conditions and transport modes.
- Text-based place discovery: Ask your agent to locate places using natural language queries like “coffee shops near Central Park” or “best hotels in Tokyo.”
- Interactive map embedding: Generate embeddable map URLs and HTML code to display custom maps, directions, or street views directly in your apps or websites—no manual coding required.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `GOOGLE_MAPS_AUTOCOMPLETE` | Autocomplete Place Predictions | Returns place and query predictions for text input. Use when implementing as-you-type autocomplete functionality for place searches. Returns up to five predictions ordered by relevance. |
| `GOOGLE_MAPS_COMPUTE_ROUTE_MATRIX` | Compute Route Matrix | Calculates travel distance and duration matrix between multiple origins and destinations using the modern Routes API; supports OAuth2 authentication and various travel modes. Matrix is capped at 625 elements (e.g., 25×25); chunk larger sets to avoid RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED errors. Response elements may be returned out of input order — always use originIndex and destinationIndex to map results. Only use elements where condition='ROUTE_EXISTS'; the matrix may be incomplete. |
| `GOOGLE_MAPS_GEOCODE_ADDRESS_WITH_QUERY` | Geocode Address With Query | Tool to map addresses to geographic coordinates with query parameter. Use when you need to convert a textual address into latitude/longitude coordinates using the modern v4beta API. Results may match multiple places — always verify `formattedAddress`, `region`, and `addressComponents` in the response before using returned coordinates. |
| `GOOGLE_MAPS_GEOCODE_DESTINATIONS` | Geocode Destinations | Tool to perform destination lookup and return detailed destination information including primary place, containing places, sub-destinations, landmarks, entrances, and navigation points. Use when you need comprehensive destination data for an address, place ID, or geographic coordinates. |
| `GOOGLE_MAPS_GEOCODE_LOCATION` | Reverse Geocode Location | Tool to convert geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) to human-readable addresses using reverse geocoding. Use when you need to find the address or place name for a given set of coordinates. A single coordinate pair may return multiple results; verify formattedAddress, region, and addressComponents before committing to a result. |
| `GOOGLE_MAPS_GEOCODE_PLACE` | Geocode Place by ID | Tool to perform geocode lookup using a place identifier to retrieve address and coordinates. Use when you need to get detailed geographic information for a specific Google Place ID. |
| `GOOGLE_MAPS_GEOCODING_API` | Geocoding API | Convert addresses into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) and vice versa (reverse geocoding), or get an address for a Place ID. Uses the Geocoding API v4 (v4beta) which supports OAuth2 authentication. Exactly one of `address`, `latlng`, or `place_id` must be provided per request; omitting all three or mixing incompatible combinations yields no useful results. |
| `GOOGLE_MAPS_GEOLOCATE` | Geolocate Device | Tool to determine location based on cell towers and WiFi access points. Use when you need to find the geographic location of a device using network infrastructure data. |
| `GOOGLE_MAPS_GET2D_TILE` | Get 2D Map Tile | Tool to retrieve a 2D map tile image at specified coordinates for building custom map visualizations. Use when you need to download individual map tile images for roadmap, satellite, or terrain views. Requires a valid session token from the createSession endpoint. |
| `GOOGLE_MAPS_GET3D_TILES_ROOT` | Get 3D Tiles Root | Tool to retrieve the 3D Tiles tileset root configuration for photorealistic 3D map rendering. Use when you need to initialize a 3D renderer with Google's photorealistic tiles following the OGC 3D Tiles specification. The Map Tiles API is billable per request; cache the root response client-side and avoid repeated calls. |
| `GOOGLE_MAPS_GET_PLACE_DETAILS` | Get Place Details | Retrieves comprehensive details for a place using its resource name (places/{place_id} format). Use when you need detailed information about a specific place. |
| `GOOGLE_MAPS_GET_ROUTE` | Get Route | Calculates one or more routes between two specified locations. Uses various travel modes and preferences; addresses must be resolvable by Google Maps. Response `duration` is a string with 's' suffix (e.g., `"4557s"`); parse before displaying. |
| `GOOGLE_MAPS_LOOKUP_AERIAL_VIDEO` | Lookup Aerial Video | Tool to look up an aerial view video by address or video ID. Returns video metadata including state and URIs for playback. Use when you need to retrieve a previously rendered aerial video or check the status of a video render request. Note that receiving a video is a billable event. |
| `GOOGLE_MAPS_MAPS_EMBED_API` | Embed Google Map | Tool to generate an embeddable Google Map URL and HTML iframe code. Use when you need to display a map (place, view, directions, street view, search) on a webpage without JavaScript. Note: This API only works with API keys (no OAuth2 support). It generates embed URLs and does not make direct API calls. Generated embed URLs are publicly accessible; avoid passing sensitive or internal location queries. |
| `GOOGLE_MAPS_NEARBY_SEARCH` | Nearby search | Searches for places (e.g., restaurants, parks) within a specified circular area, with options to filter by place types and customize the returned fields and number of results. |
| `GOOGLE_MAPS_PLACE_PHOTO` | Get Place Photo | Retrieves high quality photographic content from the Google Maps Places database. Use when you need to download a place photo using a photo_reference obtained from Place Details, Nearby Search, or Text Search requests. Images are scaled proportionally to fit within specified dimensions. |
| `GOOGLE_MAPS_RENDER_AERIAL_VIDEO` | Render Aerial Video | Starts rendering an aerial view video for a US postal address. Returns a video ID that can be used with lookupVideo to retrieve the video once rendering completes. Rendering typically takes up to a few hours. |
| `GOOGLE_MAPS_TEXT_SEARCH` | Text Search | Searches for places on Google Maps using a textual query (e.g., "restaurants in London", "Eiffel Tower"). Results may include CLOSED_PERMANENTLY or TEMPORARILY_CLOSED places — filter by businessStatus=OPERATIONAL. Include city/region and business type in textQuery to avoid empty or irrelevant results. Deduplicate using id or formattedAddress, not name alone. Throttle to ~1 req/s; OVER_QUERY_LIMIT (HTTP 429) requires exponential backoff. |
| `GOOGLE_MAPS_TILES_CREATE_SESSION` | Create Tiles Session | Tool to create a session token required for accessing 2D Tiles and Street View imagery. Use when you need to initialize tile-based map rendering or street view display. The session token is valid for approximately two weeks and must be included in all subsequent tile requests. Each call consumes quota — cache and reuse the returned token across all tile requests within its validity window rather than creating a new session per request. |

## Troubleshooting

### Why is my API key rejected?

Copy the key directly from the Composio dashboard. Atomic Agent requires ASCII characters because it sends the key in an HTTP header. Remove any extra characters introduced when copying.

### Why are Composio tools unavailable after saving a key?

Check that you use Atomic Agent v0.5.6 or later and that Composio is enabled in your configuration. A "composio": { "enabled": false } setting disables the integration while keeping the saved key on disk.

### Does Composio have a free plan?

The Hobby plan includes 100,000 tool calls per month. Composio-managed OAuth apps have a lower included allowance. See [Composio pricing](/pricing) for the current limits that apply to your connection.

## Complete Code

None listed.

## Conclusion

### Use Google Maps from Atomic Agent
With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Google Maps in natural language. You can connect more apps through the same Composio integration as you need them.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Google Maps MCP?

With a standalone Google Maps MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Google Maps tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Google Maps and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Atomic Agent?

Yes, you can. Atomic Agent fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Google Maps tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Google Maps while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Google Maps scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Google Maps data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
