# Google Maps Automation via Rube MCP
Geocode addresses, search places, get directions, compute distance matrices, and retrieve place details using Google Maps via Rube MCP (Composio).
**Toolkit docs**: [composio.dev/toolkits/google_maps](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_maps)
## Prerequisites
- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
- Active connection via `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `google_maps`
- Always call `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` first to get current tool schemas
## Setup
**Get Rube MCP**: Add `https://rube.app/mcp` as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.
1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` responds
2. Call `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `google_maps`
3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete setup
4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
## Core Workflows
### 1. Geocode an Address
Use `GOOGLE_MAPS_GEOCODING_API` to convert a street address into geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude).
```
Tool: GOOGLE_MAPS_GEOCODING_API
Parameters:
- address: Street address or plus code to geocode
- latlng: Lat/lng for reverse geocoding (e.g., "40.714224,-73.961452")
- place_id: Place ID for place geocoding
- language: Language for results
- region: Region bias (ccTLD code)
- bounds: Bounding box for viewport bias
- components: Component filter (e.g., "postal_code:94043|c
