Google MCP Server

Connect Google to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Google Tasks MCP Server. The google mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Google Tasks, allowing AI assistants to interact with Google Tasks through the MCP protocol.

• List, create, update, and delete task lists
• List, search, create, update, delete, and move tasks
• Task organization with parent-child relationships
• View detailed task information
• Clear completed tasks
• OAuth2 authentication with automatic token refresh

Installation

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

• Resources — The Resources tool exposed by this server
• Tools — The server supports the following operations through MCP tools:
• Testing — The project includes a testing framework using Node.js built-in test runner:
• Building — The Building tool exposed by this server

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, ACCESS_TOKEN, REFRESH_TOKEN. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Worth knowing first

• It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
• Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
• Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Where it fits

Plenty of planning and project tracking servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Google's toolset — Resources, Tools, Testing and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by overlay-one; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
