This tutorial covers how to add the [Google Maps MCP Server](https://www.pulsemcp.com/servers/google-maps-docs) as a goose extension to enable geocoding, place searching, distance calculations, elevation data retrieval, and directions.
**Quick Install**
**goose Desktop**
[Launch the installer](goose://extension?cmd=npx&arg=-y&arg=%40modelcontextprotocol%2Fserver-google-maps&id=google-maps&name=Google%20Maps&description=Google%20Maps%20API%20integration&env=GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY%3DGoogle%20Maps%20API%20key)
**goose CLI**
**Command**
```sh
npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-google-maps
```
**Environment Variable**
```
GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY:
```
## Configuration
Note that you'll need [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) installed on your system to run this command, as it uses `npx`.
**goose Desktop**
**goose CLI**
1. Run the `configure` command:
```sh
goose configure
```
2. Choose to add a `Command-line Extension`
```sh
┌ goose-configure
│
◇ What would you like to configure?
│ Add Extension (Connect to a new extension)
│
◆ What type of extension would you like to add?
│ ○ Built-in Extension
// highlight-start
│ ● Command-line Extension (Run a local command or script)
// highlight-end
│ ○ Remote Extension (Streamable HTTP)
└
```
3. Give your extension a name
```sh
┌ goose-configure
│
◇ What would you like to configure?
│ Add Extension (Connect to a new extension)
│
◇ What type of extension would you like to add?
│ Command-line Extension
│
// highlight-start
◆ What would you like to call this extension?

└
```
4. Enter the command
```sh
┌ goose-configure
│
◇ What would you like to configure?

│
// highlight-start
◆ What command should be run?
│ npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-google-maps
// highlight-end
└
```
5. Enter the number of seconds goose should wait for actions to complete before timing out. Default is 300s
```sh
┌ goose-configure
│
◇ What would you like to configure?
│ Add Extension (Connect to a new extension)
│
◇ What type of extension would you like to add?
│ Command-line Extension
│
◇ What would you like to call this extension?
│ Google Maps
│
◇ What command should be run?
│ npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-google-maps
│
// highlight-start
◆ Please set the timeout for this tool (in secs):
│ 300
// highlight-end
└
```
6. Choose to add a description. If you select "Yes" here, you will be prompted to enter a description for the extension.
```sh
┌ goose-configure
│
◇ What would you like to configure?
│ Add Extension (Connect to a new extension)
│
◇ What type of extension would you like to add?
│ Command-line Extension
│
◇ What would you like to call this extension?

│
◆ Please set the timeout for this tool (in secs):
│ 300
│
// highlight-start
◇ Would you like to add a description?
│ No
// highlight-end
│
└
```
7. Obtain a [Google Maps API Key](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key) and paste it in.
```sh
┌ goose-configure
│
◇ What would you like to configure?
│ Add Extension (Connect to a new extension)
│
◇ What type of extension would you like to add?
│ Command-line Extension
│
◇ What would you like to call this extension?
│ Google Maps
│
◇ What command should be run?
│ npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-google-maps
│
◇ Please set the timeout for this tool (in secs):
│ 300
│
◇ Would you like to add a description?
│ No
│
// highlight-start
◆ Would you like to add environment variables?

## Example Usage
goose acts as an autonomous agent that tracks a delivery driver’s location, updates the customer in real-time, and adjusts ETAs dynamically based on Google Maps traffic data.
goose can:
**Monitor Driver Location**
* goose gets the driver’s GPS coordinates every few seconds.
* If the driver’s location is significantly behind schedule, goose recalculates the ETA.
**Traffic-Aware ETA Adjustments**
* goose queries Google Maps for live traffic conditions.
* If delays are detected, goose updates the customer’s tracker with a new estimated time.
**Dynamic Customer Notifications**
* If the driver is stuck in traffic, goose sends an alert to the customer: “Your driver is running late due to traffic. Updated ETA: 7:25 PM.”
* If the driver is ahead of schedule, goose notifies the restaurant to prepare the food earlier.
### goose Prompt
```
Track the live GPS location of driver ID #12345. Query Google Maps for real-time traffic data and adjust the estimated delivery time if delays exceed 5 minutes. If ETA changes, update the customer’s live tracker and send an SMS notification. If the delay is greater than 20 minutes, check if another driver within a 1-mile radius can take over the delivery.
```
### goose Output
**CLI**
Okay, I will track Driver #12345, query Google Maps for traffic data, adjust the ETA, and notify the customer.
**Track Driver's GPS Location**
* **Driver ID:** #12345
* **Starting Point:** 1955 Broadway, Suite 600, Oakland, CA 94612
Driver #12345's movement:
```
2025-02-23 08:20:00: Latitude: 37.8074, Longitude: -122.2697 (Starting point)
2025-02-23 08:21:00: Latitude: 37.8080, Longitude: -122.2690
2025-02-23 08:22:00: Latitude: 37.8090, Longitude: -122.2680
2025-02-23 08:23:00: Latitude: 37.8100, Longitude: -122.2670
```
**Geocode Destination Address**
* **Customer Address:** 2111 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA
I will convert this address into geographic coordinates:
`─── maps_geocode | googlemaps ──────────────────────────`
address: 2111 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA
```
Latitude: 37.7631446
Longitude: -122.4192073
```
**Get Initial Directions and ETA**
I will get the initial route and ETA from the driver's starting point to the customer's address.
`─── maps_directions | googlemaps ──────────────────────────`
destination: 2111 Mission St, San Francisco, CA
mode: driving
origin: ...
```
Distance: 12.1 miles
Initial ETA: 21 minutes
Estimated arrival at: 08:41 AM
```
**Monitor Traffic and Adjust ETA**
I will monitor traffic updates and recalculate the ETA periodically.
```
Remaining Distance: 8 miles
Updated ETA: 15 minutes
Estimated arrival at: 08:45 AM
```
There is no significant delay.
*At 08:35 AM:* There's a traffic incident.
`─── maps_directions | googlemaps ──────────────────────────`
destination: 2111 Mission St, San Francisco, CA
mode: driving
origin: Latitude: 37.8100, Longitude: -122.2670
I apologize, I am unable to use the lat/long for the request. I will call google maps api with names instead.
`─── maps_directions | googlemaps ──────────────────────────`
destination: 2111 Mission St, San Francisco, CA
mode: driving
origin: ...
```
Remaining Distance: 7 miles
Updated ETA: 26 minutes
Estimated arrival at: 08:46 AM
```
The ETA has increased by 5 minutes from the original ETA of 08:41 AM. The directions now include a message: "Expect delays due to congestion."
**Update Customer and Send SMS**
[... other extensions used (e.g. Webhooks, MySQL, ClickSend)...]
* **Update Live Tracker:** The customer's live tracking interface is updated to reflect the new ETA of 08:46 AM.
* **Send SMS Notification:** _"Your delivery is now expected to arrive at approximately 08:46 AM due to traffic. We apologize for the inconvenience."_
