Details
From the project READMEgsuite-mcp
An MCP server for Google Workspace: Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Sheets, Tasks and Contacts, built on gsuite-sdk. It runs locally over stdio and uses your own Google login.
Setup
-
Get an OAuth client file from Google Cloud (guide) and log in once with the gsuite CLI:
pip install "gsuite-sdk[cli]" gsuite auth login # Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Sheets gsuite auth login --force --scopes default,tasks,contacts # + Tasks and Contacts gsuite auth login --force --scopes default,tasks,contacts,marketing # + Search Console, GA4, Tag Manager (read-only)The token is saved to
tokens.dbin the current directory (orGSUITE_TOKEN_DB_PATH). -
Add the server to your MCP client, pointing at that token with absolute paths:
{ "mcpServers": { "gsuite": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["gsuite-mcp"], "env": { "GSUITE_TOKEN_DB_PATH": "/Users/you/gsuite/tokens.db", "GSUITE_CREDENTIALS_FILE": "/Users/you/gsuite/credentials.json", "GSUITE_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE": "America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires" } } } }Claude Code:
claude mcp add gsuite -e GSUITE_TOKEN_DB_PATH=/Users/you/gsuite/tokens.db -- uvx gsuite-mcp

| Analytics GA4 (read-only) | analytics_account_summaries, analytics_list_properties, analytics_run_report, analytics_run_realtime_report |
| Tag Manager (read-only) | tagmanager_list_accounts, tagmanager_list_containers, tagmanager_list_workspaces, tagmanager_list_tags, tagmanager_list_triggers, tagmanager_list_variables, tagmanager_list_versions |
Search Console, Analytics and Tag Manager need the opt-in read-only scopes
(--scopes ...,marketing) and their APIs enabled in your Cloud project. A login
replaces the stored scopes, so keep listing the sets you already use.
Read tools are annotated read-only; tools that send, share, overwrite or
delete are marked so clients can ask before running them. Dates are ISO 8601;
times without an offset use GSUITE_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE (UTC by default).
The same capabilities are available as an agent skill, a CLI and a REST API: see gsuite-sdk.

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.
