The most feature-complete Google Workspace MCP available. One server covers Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Tasks, Contacts, Apps Script, Chat, and Custom Search. Built with FastMCP for performance, with multi-user OAuth 2.1 bearer-token authentication, stateless mode for container deployments, and explicit security posture: zero telemetry, zero hosted backend, zero phone-home. The maintainer documents the security and procurement story directly in the README, calling out that this is MIT-licensed with no CLA, no dual licensing, and no commercial-tier gating. The full toolset is available via CLI as well as MCP, including a Code Mode for Claude Code and Codex. Daily commit cadence (100 commits in the last 30 days) and 2,233 stars confirm sustained development. The trade-off operators should weigh: twelve services in one server means a broad permission ask at OAuth consent, and the Apps Script execution surface widens the blast radius if write scopes are granted.

INSTALL THIS SERVER

Requires authenticationGoogle OAuth 2.0 or 2.1. Single-user (desktop OAuth client) or multi-user bearer-token (OAuth 2.1 hosted mode). Operator-controlled OAuth client and GCP project; credentials never leave the operator environment.
{ "mcpServers": { "workspace": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "workspace-mcp" ] } } }
PrereqRequires uv installed and a Google OAuth client credentials file (download from Google Cloud Console, place at the path the server expects). For multi-user OAuth 2.1 hosted mode, configure bearer-token auth and external OAuth provider per the README. PyPI package: `workspace-mcp`. Path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS).

OUR ASSESSMENT

Strengths
  • Coverage of 12 Workspace services from a single server.
  • Multi-user OAuth 2.1 bearer-token auth for org-wide hosting.
  • Stateless mode (zero disk writes) for locked-down container environments.
  • Native OAuth 2.1 plus external OAuth provider support.
  • 677 forks signal heavy ecosystem usage.
  • MIT licence with no CLA, no contributor agreement.
  • Sensitive path blocking: blocks `.env*`, `~/.ssh/`, `~/.aws/` even with broadened ALLOWED_FILE_DIRS.
  • Maintainer offers a managed cloud instance for orgs preferring a hosted route.
Weaknesses
  • Requires user-managed OAuth client credentials in Google Cloud Console.
  • Apps Script execution surface widens the blast radius if the LLM has write scopes.
  • Twelve services in one server means a broad permission ask at OAuth consent.
Security Notes

Your OAuth client, your GCP project, your scopes. The server contacts only Google APIs. Standard MIT dependency tree (no AGPL, no copyleft). For locked-down deployments, run in stateless mode with a read-only scope set. Local file reads default to a managed attachment directory; `validate_file_path()` blocks `.env*` plus common home-directory credential stores even with broadened ALLOWED_FILE_DIRS. The maintainer documents the security posture explicitly for procurement and security teams.

Best For

Teams wanting one Google Workspace MCP that covers twelve services in a single server, organisations centrally hosting an MCP for the whole company (multi-user OAuth 2.1), and container deployments requiring stateless operation.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION

We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 5 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
