Google Workspace MCP Server - npm distribution
Google MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Google directly instead of describing what you should do. Google Workspace MCP Server - npm distribution.
NPM-distributable Google Workspace MCP server for Claude Desktop, Claude Code CLI, and other MCP clients. Interact with Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Chat, and more through Claude.
Once Google is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Gmail — Search emails, read messages, send emails, create/manage draftsPlatform — LocationmacOS — ~/.config/google-workspace-mcp/Linux — ~/.config/google-workspace-mcp/Windows — %APPDATA%/google-workspace-mcp/@presto-ai/google-workspace-mcp on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
You will need one environment variable: GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_MCP_HOME. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Plenty of team communication 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 — Gmail, Platform, macOS and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by GitHub Actions; 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We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
