Details
From the project READMEGoogle Workspace MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Google Workspace APIs including Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
## Features
- **Gmail API**: Send emails, list messages, manage labels, and more
- **Drive API**: List files, create folders, and upload files
- **Docs API**: Create and edit Google Docs
- **Sheets API**: Read and write spreadsheet data
- **Slides API**: Create presentations and slides
- **Calendar API**: List and create calendar events

## Prerequisites
- Node.js 16+
- Google Cloud project with the necessary APIs enabled
- OAuth 2.0 client credentials
## Installation
```bash
npm install
```
## Configuration
1. Copy the `.env.example` file to `.env`:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
2. Edit the `.env` file with your Google API credentials:
```
CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:3000/oauth2callback
REFRESH_TOKEN=your_refresh_token
```
3. If you don't have a refresh token yet, you can use the authentication tools provided by the server to get one.
## Usage
### Starting the Server
```bash
npm run dev
```
### Using with MCP Inspector
To test the server with the MCP Inspector:
```bash
npm run inspect
```
This will open the MCP Inspector in your browser, allowing you to test all tools and resources.
### Authentication
If you don't have a refresh token, use these tools:
1. Use the `generate_auth_url` tool to get an authorization URL
2. Open the URL in a browser and authorize the application
3. Copy the authorization code from the redirect URL
4. Use the `exchange_code_for_tokens` tool with the code to get a refresh token
5. Add the refresh token to your `.env` file

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
