MCP server for the Google Maps Platform. Enables AI agents to geocode addresses, search for places, retrieve place details, and compute directions and distances, giving models location awareness and routing from AI-powered tools.
A collection of Apple-native tools exposed through the Model Context Protocol, letting AI assistants work with built-in macOS apps. Provides access to Messages, Notes, Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, Mail, and Maps so agents can send messages, create notes and events, and look up contacts directly on a Mac.
Skills vs MCP servers
what’s the difference?Skillsthe “what to do”
A skill packages know-how — instructions, an example prompt, and recommended models — so an agent performs a task consistently. Skills add knowledge, not new connections.
MCP serversthe “how to connect”
An MCP server gives an agent new capabilities by connecting it to real systems (databases, APIs, files) over a transport. MCP adds connections and actions, not task instructions.
Rule of thumb: reach for a skill when you need the model to do a task well, and an MCP server when you need it to reach a tool or system. They compose — a skill can rely on tools an MCP server provides.
