FAQ

What API services do I need to enable in Google Cloud Console?

You'll need to enable 'Places API (New)' and 'Routes API' in Google Cloud Console before using place-related and routing tools.

Can I limit which tools are loaded?

Yes, set GOOGLE_MAPS_ENABLED_TOOLS environment variable to a comma-separated list of tools you want (e.g., 'maps_geocode,maps_directions,maps_search_places'). Omit or set to '*' for all 18 tools.
