Connect Warp to Apple Maps

Yes, Warp can use Apple Maps. Pomeroy connects Warp to Apple Maps on your Mac, so it can find places, get driving or walking directions, and tell you how long a journey should take. The maps actions take place names, never your location.

What can you ask Warp to do in Apple Maps?

  • “How long will it take to drive to Bristol?”
  • “Find a pharmacy near Borough Market.”
  • “How far is the walk from Paddington to Hyde Park?”
  • “Find coffee near King’s Cross and give me phone numbers.”
  • “Directions from Bath to Cardiff, with the turns.”
  • “Is the walk from the Tate Modern to London Bridge under twenty minutes?”

What Warp can do in Apple Maps

  • Find places near a named place, with addresses and, where Maps has them, phone numbers and websites.
  • Route between two named places, driving or walking, with the distance and the expected time.

What Pomeroy will not do in Apple Maps

  • Route public transport. Apple does not offer it on a Mac.
  • Use your location. The maps actions take place names only.
  • Book or buy anything.

How to connect warp to apple maps

Pomeroy lists the assistants it finds on this Mac, so install Warp first if it is not there yet.

  1. 1

    Download Pomeroy and switch on Apple Maps.

    Open the download, drag Pomeroy into Applications, and open it. Pomeroy opens a setup window listing every app it can connect. Maps needs no macOS permission prompt. The maps actions take place names, not your location, so there is nothing for macOS to ask about.

  2. 2

    Press Set up beside Warp.

    Pomeroy puts the configuration on your clipboard. Paste it into Warp's .mcp.json, or into Warp's MCP settings, keeping any servers already there.

  3. 3

    Paste it into Warp.

    Paste the configuration into ~/.warp/.mcp.json. In Warp's MCP servers settings, Pomeroy is listed. Start it from there if it is not running. You may need to restart Warp.

  4. 4

    Ask Warp something.

    Try “How long will it take to drive to Bristol?” and a real answer comes back.

The configuration, in full

Set up writes it for you. The documentation has the exact text, where it goes, and how to check it worked.

Can Warp use Apple Maps?

Yes. Once you switch Maps on in Pomeroy, Warp can search for places near a named place and route between two named places, driving or walking, with the distance and the expected time.

Does this share my location?

No. The maps actions take place names, like Borough Market, never coordinates. Pomeroy has a separate Location toggle for the one action that reads where your Mac is, and it stays off unless you switch it on.

Can Warp plan a train journey?

No. Apple does not route public transport on a Mac, so Pomeroy offers driving and walking only. For a train journey, Warp can still tell you the walking route to the station.

Warp does not show Pomeroy's tools.

Try restarting Warp; its documentation does not say whether it reloads on its own. Then press Set up again in Pomeroy, under Settings › Assistants: every way Pomeroy sets an assistant up is safe to run twice. Pomeroy's menu bar shows whether Warp is connected right now.
