Google Cloud Setup

Before using this server, you need to set up Google Cloud credentials:

1. Create a Google Cloud Project

1. Go to Google Cloud Console
2. Create a new project or select an existing one
3. Enable the following APIs:

• Google Calendar API
• Google Docs API
• Google Sheets API
• Google Slides API
• Google Drive API
• Gmail API
• People API (Contacts)
• YouTube Data API v3
• Google Tasks API
• Google Forms API
• Google Chat API
• Google Meet REST API

2. Create OAuth 2.0 Credentials

1. Navigate to APIs & Services > Credentials
2. Click Create Credentials > OAuth client ID
3. Select Desktop app as the application type
4. Download the JSON file

3. Place Credentials File

Save the downloaded JSON file as credentials.json at the appropriate location for your platform:

Linux:

~/.config/google-mcp/credentials.json

(or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/google-mcp/credentials.json if XDGCONFIGHOME is set)

macOS:

~/Library/Application Support/google-mcp/credentials.json

Windows:

%APPDATA%\google-mcp\credentials.json

(typically C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\google-mcp\credentials.json)

The file should look like:

{
  "installed": {
    "client_id": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID.apps.googleusercontent.com",
    "project_id": "your-project-id",
    "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
    "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
    "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
    "client_secret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
    "redirect_uris": ["http://localhost:3000/oauth2callback"]
  }
}

Usage with Cursor/Claude

Add to your MCP settings configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/google-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Or if running from the project directory:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["tsx", "/path/to/google-mcp/src/index.ts"]
    }
  }
}

Authentication

On first use, call the google_auth tool to initiate OAuth authentication:

1. The server will provide a URL to authenticate
2. Open the URL in a browser and sign in with your Google account
3. Grant the requested permissions
4. Authentication will complete automatically

Tokens are stored locally and will be refreshed automatically:

• Linux: ~/.local/share/google-mcp/tokens.json (or $XDG_DATA_HOME/google-mcp/)
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/google-mcp/tokens.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\google-mcp\tokens.json
