Installing

First set the environment variables as shell variables:

KEY='...'

Then use the OpenMCP config CLI to add the server to your MCP client:

Claude desktop

npx @open-mcp/config add google-maps \
  ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json \
  --KEY=$KEY

Cursor

Run this from the root of your project directory or, to add to all cursor projects, run it from your home directory ~.

npx @open-mcp/config add google-maps \
  .cursor/mcp.json \
  --KEY=$KEY

Other

npx @open-mcp/config add google-maps \
  /path/to/client/config.json \
  --KEY=$KEY

Manually

If you don't want to use the helper above, add the following to your MCP client config manually:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-maps": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@open-mcp/google-maps"],
      "env": {"KEY":"..."}
    }
  }
}

Customizing the base URL

Set the environment variable OPEN_MCP_BASE_URL to override each tool's base URL. This is useful if your OpenAPI spec defines a relative server URL.
