What it does

Workspace MCP provides natural language control over 12 Google Workspace services: Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Chat, Tasks, Contacts, Apps Script, and Custom Search. The server bridges AI assistants to existing Workspace accounts—both free and paid plans—enabling Claude, LM Studio, and other MCP clients to read, write, and manage workspace resources through a single interface. It supports OAuth 2.0 and 2.1 authentication, multi-user bearer token workflows, stateless operation for containers, and external OAuth provider integration. The server provides fine-grained control: manipulating email threads, editing document content and formatting, updating calendar events, managing file permissions, creating forms, and orchestrating cross-service automation via Apps Script.

Who it's for

Teams and individual users in Google Workspace (free or paid plans) who want to integrate their Workspace services with AI. Relevant for organizations deploying workspace agents centrally, developers building AI assistants that need Workspace access, and power users automating repetitive email, document, and calendar work.
