Setup Instructions

1. Clone and Install:

   git clone https://github.com/epaproditus/google-workspace-mcp-server.git
   cd google-workspace-mcp-server
   npm install
   

2. Create OAuth Credentials: Create a credentials.json file in the root directory:

   {
       "web": {
           "client_id": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
           "client_secret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
           "redirect_uris": ["http://localhost:4100/code"],
           "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
           "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token"
       }
   }
   

3. Get Refresh Token:

   node get-refresh-token.js
   

   This will:

   • Open your browser for Google OAuth authentication
   • Request the following permissions:
     • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify
     • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar
     • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send
   • Save the credentials to token.json
   • Display the refresh token in the console

   • For VSCode Claude extension: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json
   • For Claude desktop app: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

   Add this to the mcpServers object:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "google-workspace": {
         "command": "node",
         "args": ["/path/to/google-workspace-server/build/index.js"],
         "env": {
           "GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
           "GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret",
           "GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN": "your_refresh_token"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

5. Build and Run:

   npm run build
