Can I use Google Maps as a CLI?

Yes. KosmoKrator exposes a Google Maps CLI through kosmo integrations:call and the provider shortcut command. Commands can return JSON for scripts, CI, and coding agents.

Can I expose Google Maps through MCP?

Yes. The KosmoKrator MCP gateway can expose selected Google Maps tools to clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Where are Google Maps credentials stored?

Google Maps credentials are configured in KosmoKrator's local integration settings and reused by CLI, Lua, and MCP gateway surfaces.

Can I deny write access for Google Maps MCP tools?

Yes. Start the gateway with --write=deny for read-only clients, or use ask/allow only for trusted workspaces.

Google Maps CLI for Coding Agents

Let coding agents discover schemas and execute integration functions through CLI commands or MCP.

Use this pattern when another coding agent needs exact commands and schema discovery. The Google Maps CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# Google Maps CLI for Coding Agents
kosmokrator integrations:configure google-maps --set api_key="$GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call google-maps.google_maps_geocode_address '{"address":"example_address","components":"example_components","region":"example_region","language":"example_language"}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

Agents and scripts can inspect Google Maps docs and schemas before choosing a function.

kosmo integrations:docs google-maps --json
kosmo integrations:docs google-maps.google_maps_geocode_address --json
kosmo integrations:schema google-maps.google_maps_geocode_address --json
kosmo integrations:search "Google Maps" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Useful Google Maps CLI Functions

Function	Type	Parameters	Description
`google-maps.google_maps_geocode_address`	Read	address, components, region, language	Convert a street address into geographic coordinates and place details using Google Maps geocoding.
`google-maps.google_maps_reverse_geocode`	Read	latitude, longitude, components, language, result_type, location_type	Convert latitude and longitude coordinates into street addresses using Google Maps reverse geocoding.
`google-maps.google_maps_search_places`	Read	query, location, radius, language, type, open_now, min_price, max_price	Search for places with a text query using Google Maps Places search.
`google-maps.google_maps_get_place_details`	Read	place_id, fields, language, region, reviews_no_translations, reviews_sort	Get detailed information about a specific Google Maps place by Place ID.
`google-maps.google_maps_get_directions`	Read	origin, destination, mode, waypoints, alternatives, avoid, language, units, departure_time, arrival_time, transit_mode, transit_routing_preference	Get directions between an origin and destination using Google Maps Directions API.
`google-maps.google_maps_get_distance_matrix`	Read	origins, destinations, mode, language, units, departure_time, arrival_time, avoid, transit_mode, transit_routing_preference	Calculate travel distances and durations between multiple origins and destinations.
`google-maps.google_maps_get_current_user`	Read	none	Get geolocation data for the current requester and verify Google Maps API credentials.

Automation Notes

Use --json for machine-readable output.
Keep credentials out of argv by using environment variables or stored KosmoKrator configuration.
Configure read/write policy before unattended runs; use --force only for trusted automation.
Use the MCP gateway instead when the agent needs dynamic tool discovery inside a conversation.
