Apple Maps MCP Server

Search Apple Maps businesses with Apple ratings and aggregated Yelp + TripAdvisor reviews.

This is a remote MCP server that lets Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP client query Apple Maps directly as a tool call.

Setup

You'll need an Apify API token. A free Apify account works. Get yours at console.apify.com/account#/integrations.

Install in Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop currently requires a stdio bridge for remote MCP servers. Add this to your ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apple-maps": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=johnvc/apple-maps-api",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN> with your token. Restart Claude Desktop.

Install in Cursor

Cursor supports remote MCP servers natively. Two ways to connect:

Option A: OAuth (recommended, no token needed)

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apple-maps": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=johnvc/apple-maps-api"
    }
  }
}

The first connection opens a browser to sign in to Apify.

Option B: Bearer token

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apple-maps": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=johnvc/apple-maps-api",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

What it does

This MCP server lets Claude search Apple Maps for businesses. Apple Maps has unique data not available on Google Maps, including Apple's proprietary percentage-based ratings and aggregated reviews from Yelp and TripAdvisor in one place. Useful for B2B lead generation targeting iOS-heavy customer bases, restaurant and hospitality research, and competitive analysis where cross-platform review signals matter.

Example queries to try in Claude:

"Find Italian restaurants in Brooklyn with high Apple Maps ratings"
"Get me all hotels near Times Square with their aggregated review scores"
"Find tech startups in San Francisco with offices in Apple Maps"
