How to Set Up and Use Google Workspace MCP
The Google Workspace MCP server (workspace-mcp) is a comprehensive Python-based MCP server that gives AI assistants full programmatic access to Gmail, Google Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Tasks, Contacts, and Google Chat through a single authenticated connection. It supports stdio, SSE, and Streamable HTTP transports, making it suitable for both local desktop use and multi-user cloud deployments, and offers granular tool tiers (core, extended, complete) so you can expose only the capabilities you need. Teams and individual power users choose it to automate repetitive Workspace tasks — drafting emails, scheduling meetings, updating spreadsheets — directly from their AI assistant.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ and uv package manager installed
- A Google Cloud project with the Workspace APIs enabled (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, etc.)
- An OAuth 2.0 client ID and secret from the Google Cloud Console (or a client_secret.json file)
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code with MCP extension
Enable Google Workspace APIs
In the Google Cloud Console, enable the APIs for the services you need: Gmail API, Google Calendar API, Google Drive API, Google Docs API, Google Sheets API, Google Slides API, and any others.
Create OAuth credentials
In Google Cloud Console, create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID of type 'Desktop app' or 'Web app'. Download the client_secret.json file and place it in your project root, or export the values as environment variables.
export GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com"
export GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret"
export OAUTHLIB_INSECURE_TRANSPORT=1 # Development onlyRun the server with uvx (no install required)
Use uvx to launch the server directly. The --tool-tier flag controls which set of tools is loaded.
uvx workspace-mcp --tool-tier coreOr clone and run locally for full features
For development or customization, clone the repo and run via uv. Use --transport streamable-http for multi-user or remote deployments.
git clone https://github.com/taylorwilsdon/google_workspace_mcp.git
cd google_workspace_mcp
uv run main.py --tool-tier completeAdd to Claude Desktop configuration
Register the server in your Claude Desktop config file so Claude can access your Google Workspace.

}
}
}Authenticate on first run
The first time the server starts, it will open a browser window for Google OAuth consent. Grant the requested permissions; credentials will be stored locally for subsequent runs.

}Prompts to try
Example prompts to use with Claude once the Google Workspace MCP server is connected.
- "Search my Gmail for unread emails from last week and summarize the most important ones."
- "Create a Google Doc titled 'Q3 Planning Notes' and add the agenda items I'm about to dictate."
- "Find a free 1-hour slot for a meeting with John next Tuesday and create the calendar event."
- "Read the data in my 'Budget 2025' spreadsheet and chart the monthly spend trend."
- "Send an email to [email protected] with the subject 'Deployment Complete' and a brief status update."Troubleshooting Google Workspace MCP
OAuth flow fails with 'redirect_uri_mismatch' error
In the Google Cloud Console, add 'http://localhost' and 'http://localhost:8000/oauth2callback' to the list of authorized redirect URIs for your OAuth client. For production, set WORKSPACE_EXTERNAL_URL to your public domain.
Tools are missing or the wrong set appears in Claude
Use --tool-tier complete to expose all tools, or set WORKSPACE_MCP_TOOLS to a comma-separated list of services (e.g., 'gmail,drive,calendar'). Restart the server after changing the tier or tool list.
Authentication works once but fails after restarting Claude Desktop
The server stores credentials in ~/.workspace-mcp/ by default. If this directory is deleted or permissions change, re-run the OAuth flow. For persistent deployments use the --single-user flag and ensure the credentials directory persists between restarts.
