Overview

Place ID MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects to the Google Places API to dynamically retrieve location photos and integrate them into Cursor via Smithery.

To use the Place ID MCP Server, clone the repository, install dependencies, configure your Google Places API key in a .env file, and start the server. You can then access the API endpoints to search for places and retrieve photos.

  • Dynamic retrieval of images from the Google Places Photo API. - Secure handling of the Google API key. - Integration with Cursor via the MCP protocol. - Support for JSON-RPC for seamless communication.
  1. Enhancing wireframes and prototypes with real-time location images.
  2. Providing visual context for applications that require location-based data.
  3. Enabling developers to easily integrate location photos into their projects.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "place-id-mcp-server-timhub88": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-place-id-mcp-server-timhub88"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "place-id-mcp-server-timhub88": {
      "command": "npx",

        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-place-id-mcp-server-timhub88"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "place-id-mcp-server-timhub88": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-place-id-mcp-server-timhub88"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "place-id-mcp-server-timhub88": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-place-id-mcp-server-timhub88"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "place-id-mcp-server-timhub88": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-place-id-mcp-server-timhub88"
      ]
    }
  }
}
