Google Workspace MCP Server

What this does

Google Workspace 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.

Requirements

This server needs the following environment variables to be set before it can run:

GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET
ACCOUNTS_PATH
CREDENTIALS_PATH
GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS
GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_DISABLE_REFRESH
MCP_WORKSPACE_PATH
WORKSPACE_BASE_PATH
GAUTH_FILE

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

How do I install Google Workspace?

Run the Claude Code command in the install section to add Google Workspace to Claude Code, or copy the ready-made config for your client from the install section on this page. Restart your client afterwards and the tools appear in your next conversation.

Which clients work with Google Workspace?

This page carries setup and config for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code. Any other MCP client that accepts a standard server config can connect to Google Workspace as well.

Does Google Workspace need an API key?

Yes. Before it can run, set these environment variables: GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET, ACCOUNTS_PATH, CREDENTIALS_PATH, GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS, GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_DISABLE_REFRESH, MCP_WORKSPACE_PATH, WORKSPACE_BASE_PATH, GAUTH_FILE. They go in the env block of your MCP config.
