| Client coverage note | Local stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server. | |
| Access and data | ||
| Authentication | Maps Grounding Lite requires either a Google Maps Platform API key or OAuth credentials. | Wix documents its hosted OAuth endpoint and official local package. |
| Cost | Maps Grounding Lite is pay-as-you-go and each request is a billing event. Some related resolution requests are billed at no charge under the cited SKU; quotas also apply. | The MCP integration has no separately verified MCP100 price conclusion. Publisher subscriptions, API usage, compute, storage, and AI-client charges may apply. |
| Permissions | Use is governed by Google Maps Platform Terms of Service. Google states that Maps content must not be cached, stored, or used to improve the LLM, and source attribution requirements apply. | Wix account, site, app, and product permissions constrain tools and data. |
| Data handling | Google's Maps Grounding Lite guidance restricts caching/storage/reuse of Google Maps content and requires privacy/attribution compliance. Location/search inputs are sent to Google Maps Platform services to answer the request. | Authorized service data and tool results pass through the MCP server to the connected AI client. Review the publisher and client data policies before using sensitive retail & e-commerce information. |

| Risk context | Primary risks are location/privacy exposure, terms-compliance obligations, and usage charges. It is not a turn-by-turn navigation or live-routing safety system. | The cross-product surface includes customer, booking, commerce, and payment data plus consequential write actions. Use a test environment where practical, least-privilege credentials, narrowly enabled tools, and explicit confirmation for mutations. MCP100 did not execute third-party server code during this documentation review. |
