Could you build this?
Partial While the MCP interface wrapper itself is trivial, maintaining a reliable, synchronous Google Maps scraper requires anti-scraping evasion and residential proxy infrastructure at scale.
What it would actually take: The service needs an MCP server written in TypeScript or Python exposed via standard transports, backed by a robust scraping engine. The difficult component is bypassing Google's strict rate limits, CAPTCHAs, and fingerprinting using headless browser clusters (Playwright), proxy rotators (BrightData/Oxylabs), and continuous maintenance to adapt to Google Maps UI/API DOM changes.
