Our reading of Code Assist, from the data

Code Assist is a maps & location MCP server from googlemaps, listed in the official MCP Registry.

We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.

It looks abandoned: the newest commit, release or package publish we found was 2 months ago (2026-08-18). For comparison, 73% of maps & location servers are active or maintained.

With 104 GitHub stars it ranks #18 of 858 maps & location servers we index.

It runs locally on your machine over stdio.
