Google Contacts MCP

What this does

Google Contacts MCP exposes a set of tools to Claude over the Model Context Protocol. After you add it to claude_desktop_config.json (snippet above) and restart Claude Desktop, those tools become callable inside any conversation.

Set these via the env object in your MCP config (see claude_desktop_config.json snippet above).
