Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote Apify-hosted MCP server that lets an assistant search Google Local for businesses by keyword and location and return their listing details.

What you can do
  • Search Google Local for businesses by keyword and location
  • Retrieve listing details such as name, address, phone, hours, rating, review count, website and category
  • Filter results by criteria such as distance and minimum star rating
When to use it
Useful for sales prospecting, lead generation, local SEO research and market analysis, or whenever you need contact details and ratings for businesses in a given area.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint on Apify (streamable HTTP); no local package. OAuth authentication is required, and an Apify account is needed. The README's config examples point to an Apify-hosted MCP URL.
Before you install
The service is paid and runs on Apify's hosted platform, so usage may incur charges. Queries and returned business data pass through Apify as a third party. Results are scraped from Google and may be incomplete or outdated.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Google Local in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.johnisanerd%2Fgoogle-local/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
