Maps MCP for Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor
Wheremind is a hosted MCP server for live place search, geocoding, and turn-by-turn directions—so Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor look things up instead of inventing them. Sign in with an email code. No Maps API key to manage.

Why a hosted maps MCP
- No Maps API key to wire up. Wheremind is hosted. You add one MCP URL; you never paste a Google Maps key into your AI app.
- Sign in, then Allow. Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor open a Wheremind window. Sign in with a code sent to your email and approve. There’s no password.
- A fixed key for agents. After your invite, scripts and servers can use a Bearer from your dashboard instead of signing in.
- Real data. Places, geocodes, and routes come from Google Maps Platform, with attributions passed through.

Agents: the full contract—auth modes, host setup, and when to call each tool—is /llms.txt. This page does not replace it.
Not the same as ChatGPT Maps
ChatGPT Maps is an in-chat discovery UI that helps people explore places inside ChatGPT. Wheremind is a set of MCP tools your agent calls for places, geocodes, and directions while it solves a task—in ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor.
FAQ
What is Wheremind?
Wheremind is a hosted MCP server that gives AI apps live place search, place details, geocoding, and turn-by-turn directions. Your AI calls it when it needs a real location—so it does not invent addresses or routes.

Which AI apps work?
Claude (web or desktop), ChatGPT (developer mode), and Cursor connect with sign-in. Other remote MCP hosts that support sign-in or a stored Authorization header can connect after you have an account.

How do I get access?
Wheremind is invite-only during the private beta. Request an invite. When you receive a code, redeem it to create your account.
How is this different from ChatGPT’s built-in Maps?
ChatGPT Maps helps people explore places in the ChatGPT UI. Wheremind exposes places, geocoding, and routes as MCP tools so agents can look up real locations and directions when solving a task.
