How to Set Up and Use Tools for MCP Server
ToolsForMCPServer is a Google Apps Script (GAS) library that lets you build MCP servers directly inside the Google ecosystem, exposing 160+ pre-built tools for Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Google Classroom, Analytics, Maps, YouTube, and more. Instead of running a local server, the MCP server runs as a Google Apps Script Web App, making it serverless and free to host. AI assistants like Gemini CLI (and other MCP clients that support remote HTTP servers) connect to it via mcp-remote, enabling natural-language automation of virtually any Google Workspace task.
Prerequisites
- A Google account with access to Google Apps Script (script.google.com)
- The Gemini CLI or another MCP client that supports remote HTTP MCP servers via mcp-remote
- Node.js and npx installed (for running mcp-remote locally)
- A Gemini API key if using tools that call the Gemini API (e.g., image generation)
Create a Google Apps Script project
Go to script.google.com and create a new standalone project. This will host your MCP server.
Install the required GAS libraries
In the Apps Script editor, go to Libraries (the + icon in the left sidebar) and add both required libraries using their script IDs.
# MCPApp library script ID:
1TlX_L9COAriBlAYvrMLiRFQ5WVf1n0jChB6zHamq2TNwuSbVlI5sBUzh
# ToolsForMCPServer library script ID:
1lnE7UL1jQgPDbTB9yjhiwZM0SaS9MObhzvWUWb_t8FisO6A3bLepvM2jDeploy as a Web App
In the Apps Script editor, click Deploy → New deployment → Web App. Set 'Execute as' to 'Me' and 'Who has access' to 'Anyone'. Copy the deployment URL and set an accessKey for security.
Configure your MCP client to use mcp-remote
Edit your MCP client settings to connect to the Web App URL via mcp-remote. Replace the URL with your actual deployment URL and set your accessKey.

Natural-language prompts that drive the 160+ Google Workspace tools.
- "Send an email to [email protected] with the subject 'Meeting Notes' and attach the Q3 report from Drive"
- "Create a new Google Doc titled 'Project Plan' and add a table with three columns: Task, Owner, Deadline"
- "Add a calendar event for next Monday at 2pm called 'Sprint Review' and invite the team"
- "List all unread emails in my inbox from the last 7 days and summarise them"
- "Create a new Google Sheet, populate it with this data, and share it with [email protected]"Troubleshooting Tools for MCP Server
Web App returns 'Access denied' or 401 errors
Verify the accessKey in your MCP client URL exactly matches the key set in your Apps Script project. If you redeployed the Web App, update the deployment URL in your client config — each deployment gets a new URL.
mcp-remote connection times out
Google Apps Script has a 6-minute execution limit and can cold-start slowly. Try the request again; if it consistently times out, check that your Web App deployment is set to 'Anyone' access (not 'Only myself').
A specific Google Workspace tool is missing or not working
Some tool categories (Classroom, People, Analytics) are disabled by default. In your Apps Script code, add the relevant category to the enableBaseTools or enableClassroomTools configuration array and redeploy the Web App.
