io.github.johnisanerd/google-local is an MCP server that finds Google local businesses with name, address, phone, hours, ratings, and photos through Apify.
About
io.github.johnisanerd/google-local is a Model Context Protocol server delivered as an Apify streamable-http remote so coding agents can find local businesses on Google and return core listing fields: business name, address, phone, hours, ratings, and photos. Developers use it during early research to map a city or vertical, compare incumbent density, and feed summaries into validation docs without exporting CSVs by hand. Configure Authorization with a Bearer Apify API token, connect your Claude Code or Cursor client to mcp.apify.com with tools=johnvc/google-local-api, and delegate repetitive local searches to the agent. The server is intentionally focused on discovery and research-grade facts rather than owning your production Google Business integration. Treat outputs as research inputs and follow with your own scoping and pricing checks.
