Google Workspace administration via GAM CLI - MCP Server for Claude
MCP Gam becomes available to MCP clients through the mcp gam mcp server. Google Workspace administration via GAM CLI - MCP Server for Claude.
Google Workspace administration via GAM CLI, ready for Claude Desktop and Model Context Protocol (MCP).
The server is distributed via npm as npm, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
The server reads one environment variable: GAM_PATH. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
gam version to verify installation. - Run gam oauth create to authenticate with Google Workspace. - Node.js: v18 or newerDeveloper-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. MCP Gam sits in that group. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
