How to Set Up and Use Google Workspace Tools
ToolsForMCPServer-extension packages the ToolsForMCPServer Google Apps Script library as a Gemini CLI extension, enabling Gemini CLI to automate Google Workspace services — Docs, Sheets, Slides, Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Classroom, Analytics, and Maps — through natural language commands. The underlying MCP server runs as a Google Apps Script Web App deployed from the user's own Google account, so all actions execute with the user's own Google permissions without any third-party credential storage. Installing the extension with a single 'gemini extensions install' command configures all required MCP tools automatically, making it the fastest path to Google Workspace automation with AI.
Prerequisites
- Node.js with the Gemini CLI installed globally (npm install -g @google/gemini-cli)
- A Google account authorized in Gemini CLI
- A Gemini API key (set as GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable)
- Access to Google Apps Script at script.google.com to copy and deploy the Web App
Install Gemini CLI
Install the Gemini CLI globally via npm and authenticate with your Google account.
npm install -g @google/gemini-cli
# Then authorize:
gemini authCopy the Google Apps Script project
Log into your Google account and visit the linked Apps Script project URL. Click the copy button at the top right to create your own copy of the ToolsForMCPServer project.
# Visit this URL in your browser while signed into Google:
# https://script.google.com/home/projects/1Qm9LgtuQLxDzdLUoJPrOEpmyTBivZZsCLiSUC7q-D3Gi4fISvxgcITWbDeploy the Apps Script as a Web App
In the copied script editor, click Deploy > New deployment > Web App. Set 'Execute as' to 'Me' and 'Who has access' to 'Anyone'. After authorizing scopes, copy the Web App URL (format: https://script.google.com/macros/s/###/exec).
Set environment variables
Export your Gemini API key and the Web App URL with your access key. The default access key is 'sample' — change it in both the Apps Script and this URL if desired.
export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-gemini-api-key"
export MCP_WEB_APPS_URL="https://script.google.com/macros/s/YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_ID/exec?accessKey=sample"Install the Gemini CLI extension
Run the extension install command to register all ToolsForMCPServer tools with Gemini CLI. Then verify with /mcp inside the Gemini CLI.
gemini extensions install https://github.com/tanaikech/ToolsForMCPServer-extension
# Verify installation:
gemini
# Inside Gemini CLI:

Example Gemini CLI prompts for automating Google Workspace with ToolsForMCPServer.
- "Create a new Google Sheet with sales data for Q1 and add a chart"
- "Read the contents of my Google Doc named 'Project Proposal' and summarize it"
- "Add an event to my Google Calendar for next Monday at 2pm titled 'Team Sync'"
- "Search my Gmail for emails from my boss this week and list the subjects"
- "Create a Google Slides presentation with 5 slides on the topic of machine learning"Troubleshooting Google Workspace Tools
MCP tools not appearing after running /mcp in Gemini CLI
Verify that MCP_WEB_APPS_URL is correctly set in your shell environment before launching Gemini CLI. The URL must include your actual deployment ID and the correct accessKey parameter. Re-run 'gemini extensions install' if the extension was not installed successfully.
Web App returns 403 or authorization errors when tools are called
The Web App must be deployed with 'Execute as: Me' and 'Who has access: Anyone'. If you modified the Apps Script after initial deployment, you must create a new deployment version — click Deploy > Manage deployments, select your deployment, click the pencil icon, and choose 'New version'.
Tool discovery errors after updating Gemini CLI to v0.15.0+
The 'workspace-developer' server was removed in v1.2.0 of the extension due to schema resolution errors with newer Gemini CLI versions. Ensure you are running extension v1.2.0 or higher by reinstalling: 'gemini extensions install https://github.com/tanaikech/ToolsForMCPServer-extension'.
