What it does
Google Maps Travel Planning is an agent skill from cablate/mcp-google-map. Build evidence-backed day trips, multi-day itineraries, and efficient stop sequences with Google Maps data through the standalone CLI. Use when the desired output is a practical travel plan, not merely a route or list of places.
Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/travel-planning.md`).
It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Local SEO. It works with Google Maps Platform and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: 18 Google Maps tools and 3 Agent Skills for place search, routes, travel planning, and local SEO—via MCP or standalone CLI. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The desired output is a practical travel plan
- Not merely a route
Example prompts
- “/google-maps-travel-planning”
Requirements
- Node.js
- A credential in GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Establish destination, dates or duration, fixed anchors, mobility constraints, pace, and relevant preferences. Ask only for omissions that…
- Read references/travel-planning.md before designing the itinerary.
- Use maps_search_places to find candidate anchors, then group nearby anchors into one-direction daily arcs.
- Use maps_search_along_route for meals and breaks between anchors. Use maps_place_details for hours, ratings, and source metadata.
- Validate every day with maps_plan_route or maps_directions. Do not present estimated timing as validated timing.
- Check weather and air quality when they affect the plan. Respect regional weather limitations described in the reference.
- When useful, produce a numbered static map after the stop order is final.
- Present a day-by-day schedule with travel time, visit duration, reservations or opening-hour caveats, and clearly marked fallbacks.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bc2c31f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Google Maps Travel Planning loads about 710 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 307 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Google Maps Travel Planning
Build a time-ordered itinerary whose geography, travel times, opening constraints, and along-route stops have been checked. Use the standalone CLI; no MCP connection is required.
Before calling the CLI
- On the first call in a session, or after an execution failure, read
../_shared/setup-and-diagnostics.mdand run the non-billable local preflight. - The user must supply
GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY. Never expose its value. - Read
../_shared/content-attribution.mdbefore presenting reviews, photos, or Google-generated summaries.
Workflow
- Establish destination, dates or duration, fixed anchors, mobility constraints, pace, and relevant preferences. Ask only for omissions that materially change the itinerary.
- Read
references/travel-planning.mdbefore designing the itinerary. - Use
maps_search_placesto find candidate anchors, then group nearby anchors into one-direction daily arcs. - Use
maps_search_along_routefor meals and breaks between anchors. Usemaps_place_detailsfor hours, ratings, and source metadata. - Validate every day with
maps_plan_routeormaps_directions. Do not present estimated timing as validated timing. - Check weather and air quality when they affect the plan. Respect regional weather limitations described in the reference.
- When useful, produce a numbered static map after the stop order is final.
- Present a day-by-day schedule with travel time, visit duration, reservations or opening-hour caveats, and clearly marked fallbacks.
CLI
npx -y @cablate/mcp-google-map exec <tool> '<json_params>'For exact tool parameters, read ../google-maps/references/tools-api.md only for the tools selected by the plan.
Boundaries
- A request for only A-to-B directions or a simple multi-stop ordering belongs to
google-maps. - A request to assess business visibility or local search rankings belongs to
google-maps-local-seo. - Do not infer that a venue is accessible, open, safe, or suitable when the API response does not establish it.
- Do not silently substitute web estimates for unavailable Google Maps results; identify the alternate source.
