  4. 04Move users between organizational units

MCP support

The MCP server exposes Google Workspace administration tools to compatible clients for managing users, groups, aliases, and organizational units.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

🔌 Configurazione Claude Desktop

Aggiungi al file di configurazione:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google_workspace": {
      "command": "/percorso/completo/google-workspace-mcp/venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["/percorso/completo/google-workspace-mcp/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE": "/percorso/completo/credentials.json",
        "GOOGLE_ADMIN_EMAIL": "[email protected]"
      }
    }
  }
}

Chiudi completamente Claude Desktop (Cmd+Q su Mac) e riaprilo.

🏢 Configurazione multi-cliente

Puoi gestire più domini aggiungendo istanze separate:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gw_cliente_alfa": {
      "command": "/percorso/venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["server.py"],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE": "/percorso/credentials-alfa.json",
        "GOOGLE_ADMIN_EMAIL": "[email protected]"
      }
    },
    "gw_cliente_beta": {
      "command": "/percorso/venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["server.py"],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE": "/percorso/credentials-beta.json",
        "GOOGLE_ADMIN_EMAIL": "[email protected]"
      }
    }
  }
}
💬 Esempi d'uso

Una volta configurato, puoi dire a Claude:

Puoi anche copiare direttamente l'email del cliente con la richiesta e Claude interpreterà automaticamente le operazioni da eseguire.

🔒 Sicurezza
  • Le credenziali del Service Account non vanno mai committate nel repository
  • Le password temporanee generate sono di 16 caratteri con lettere, numeri e simboli
  • Le operazioni distruttive (eliminazione) richiedono conferma esplicita
  • Il Service Account opera con i soli permessi strettamente necessari
  • Nessun dato viene memorizzato dal server MCP

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.
