What it does

MCP Google Map Project is an agent skill from cablate/mcp-google-map. Project knowledge for developing and maintaining @cablate/mcp-google-map. Architecture, Google Maps API guide, GIS domain knowledge, and design decisions. Read this skill to onboard onto the project or make informed development decisions.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/architecture.md`, `references/decisions.md` and `references/geo-domain-knowledge.md`). Compatibility notes: ["claude-code","cursor","vscode-copilot"]

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers, Architecture decision records and Geospatial analysis. It works with Model Context Protocol, Google Maps Platform and TypeScript. 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

  • Tasks that involve MCP servers
  • Tasks that involve Architecture decision records
  • Tasks that involve Geospatial analysis

Example prompts

  • “/mcp-google-map-project”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): ["claude-code","cursor","vscode-copilot"]

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Create src/tools/maps/.ts (NAME, DESCRIPTION, SCHEMA, ACTION)
  2. Register in src/config.ts
  3. Add exec case in src/cli.ts
  4. Add to tests/smoke.test.ts (expectedTools + API call test)
  5. Update README.md (count + table + exec list + project structure)
  6. Update skills/google-maps/SKILL.md (Tool Map)
  7. Update skills/google-maps/references/tools-api.md (params + chaining)
  8. Check server.json and package.json descriptions

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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    ["claude-code","cursor","vscode-copilot"]

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

MCP Google Map Project loads about 774 tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 304 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~774
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

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.
