What this skill does
Google Maps Automation via Rube MCP Geocode addresses, search places, get directions, compute distance matrices, and retrieve place details using Google Maps via Rube MCP (Composio). Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/googlemaps Prerequisites Rube MCP must be connected (RUBESEARCHTOOLS available) Active connection via RUBEMANAGECONNECTIONS with toolkit googlemaps Always call RUBESEARCHTOOLS first to get current tool schemas Setup Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works. 1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBESEARCHTOOLS responds 2. Call RUBEMANAGECONNECTIONS with toolkit googlemaps 3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete setup 4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows Core Workflows 1. Geocode an Address Use GOOGLEMAPSGEOCODINGAPI to convert a street address into geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude). 2. Search for Places Use GOOGLEMAPSTEXTSEARCH to find places using a free-text query. 3. Get Directions Between Two Locations Use GOOGLEMAPSGETROUTE to calculate routes with distance and duration. 4. Compute Distance Matrix Use GOOGLEMAPSCOMPUTEROUTEMATRIX to calculate distances and durations between multiple origins and destinations. 5. Get Place Details Use GOOGLEMAPSGETPLACEDETAILS to retrieve comprehensive information about a specific place. 6. Search Nearby Places Use GOOGLEMAPSNEARBYSEARCH to find places within a circular area around a point. Common Patterns Geocode then route: Use GOOGLEMAPSGEOCODINGAPI to convert addresses to coordinates, then GOOGLEMAPSGETROUTE for directions between them. Search then detail: Use GOOGLEMAPSTEXTSEARCH to find places, then GOOGLEMAPSGETPLACEDETAILS for richer metadata (hours, contacts, reviews). Autocomplete UX: Use GOOGLEMAPSAUTOCOMPLETE for type-ahead search suggestions as users type addresses or place names. …
