Google launches managed MCP servers that let AI agents simply plug into its tools | TechCrunch
"We are making Google agent-ready by design,"
"But by giving your agent [...] a tool like the Google Maps MCP server, then it gets grounded on actual, up-to-date location information for places or trips planning,"
"We expect to bring them to general availability very soon in the new year,"
Google is launching fully managed remote MCP servers to simplify how AI agents connect to Google and Cloud services such as Maps and BigQuery. The managed endpoints allow developers to point agents at a URL instead of building and maintaining fragile custom connectors. Initial MCP servers support Maps, BigQuery, Compute Engine, and Kubernetes Engine, enabling agents to query live location and analytics data or interact with infrastructure directly. The MCP servers arrive alongside stronger reasoning models and will launch in public preview for enterprise customers at no extra cost, with general availability expected soon.
