~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-workspace-2": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "google-workspace-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Abre Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Reinicia después de guardar.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-workspace-2": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "google-workspace-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor usa el mismo esquema mcpServers que Claude Desktop. La configuración del proyecto prevalece sobre la global.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-workspace-2": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "google-workspace-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Haz clic en el icono MCP Servers de la barra lateral de Cline y luego en "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-workspace-2": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "google-workspace-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Mismo formato que Claude Desktop. Reinicia Windsurf para aplicar.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "google-workspace-2",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "google-workspace-mcp"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue usa un array de objetos de servidor en lugar de un mapa.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "google-workspace-2": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": [
          "-y",
          "google-workspace-mcp"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Añádelo a context_servers. Zed recarga en caliente al guardar.

claude mcp add google-workspace-2 -- npx -y google-workspace-mcp

Un solo comando. Verifica con claude mcp list. Quita con claude mcp remove.

Casos de uso

Usos del mundo real: google-workspace-mcp

Triage your inbox and draft replies

👤 Anyone buried in email ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

Cuándo usarlo: Morning inbox. 200 unread. You want to know what needs a response today.

Requisitos previos

Google Cloud OAuth client — console.cloud.google.com > Credentials

Flujo

Authenticate

Authenticate my Gmail account via OAuth.✓ Copiado

→ OAuth flow completes
Classify

Go through unread emails from last 24h. Bucket into: urgent reply, FYI, newsletter, spam-like. Count each bucket.✓ Copiado

→ Counts + sample subjects per bucket
Draft replies

For the 'urgent reply' bucket, draft short replies (don't send). Show me drafts for approval.✓ Copiado

→ Drafts ready for review

Resultado: 30 minutes of inbox triage in 5.

Errores comunes

LLM hallucinates commitments in drafts — Never have it send directly — always draft + human review

Find a meeting slot across 5 attendees

👤 Anyone scheduling meetings ⏱ ~5 min beginner

Cuándo usarlo: You need 45 minutes next week that works for 5 people across time zones.

Flujo

Check availability

Find a 45-min slot next week that works for me + these 4 attendees [emails]. Exclude lunch hours in each TZ.✓ Copiado

→ Candidate slots
Create event

Book the best slot as 'Weekly sync' with a Google Meet link; invite all.✓ Copiado

→ Event created with video link

Resultado: Meeting scheduled without the Doodle dance.

Errores comunes

Free/busy API only shows free/busy, not priorities — Ask each person before hard-booking optional slots

Audit a Drive folder's sharing permissions

👤 Ops / compliance ⏱ ~30 min intermediate

Cuándo usarlo: Somebody shared a sensitive folder broadly. You want to know exactly who has access.

Flujo

Enumerate

List all files under /Shared drives/Contracts/2025 with their sharing settings. Flag anything with 'anyone with link' or 'public'.✓ Copiado

→ File list with exposure flags
Remediate

For each public file, change to 'restricted' and notify the owner. Show me the diff before executing.✓ Copiado

→ Per-file change plan

Resultado: Drive posture improved in one pass.

Errores comunes

Revoking may break active external workflows — Announce before revoking; use a grace period

Combinaciones

google-workspace-2 + notion

Mirror Google Docs to Notion weekly

For each Doc created in /Shared/Team this week, export as Markdown and create Notion page in 'Team Docs'.✓ Copiado

Herramientas

Lo que expone este MCP

Herramienta	Entradas	Cuándo llamar	Coste
manage_email	action: 'search'\|'read'\|'send'\|'reply'\|'label'\|..., ...	Any Gmail op	1 Gmail API call

Coste y límites

Lo que cuesta ejecutarlo

Cuota de API: Gmail: 1B units/day (most ops 5-50 units). Calendar/Drive: generous quotas.
Tokens por llamada: Drive list results can be big — paginate
Monetario: Free; Google Workspace license required for business accounts
Consejo: Cache account metadata. Gmail search is quota-heavy; scope with label/date filters.

Seguridad

Permisos, secretos, alcance

Ámbitos mínimos: Gmail.readonly + Calendar + Drive — grant only what you use

Almacenamiento de credenciales: Tokens in OS keychain (XDG-compliant); OAuth refresh handled automatically

Salida de datos: Your Google data flows through MCP to your LLM provider

No conceder nunca: Gmail.modify to an unsupervised agent that can also read external URLs

OAuth refresh tokens are long-lived — if your machine is compromised, revoke at myaccount.google.com.
Gmail send is irrevocable — always stage as drafts for human review first.

Resolución de problemas

Errores comunes y soluciones

invalid_grant during OAuth

Client ID / redirect URI mismatch. Confirm the redirect URI registered in GCP matches what the MCP uses.

Quota exceeded

Backoff + batch. Gmail send has a daily cap; Drive has per-user/per-second limits.

Verificar: Google Cloud Console > APIs > Quotas

Tokens expired despite refresh

Refresh token revoked — re-auth. Common when account password changed or security event triggered.

Alternativas

google-workspace-mcp vs otros

Alternativa	Cuándo usarla	Contrapartida
Official Google Workspace MCP (when/if shipped)	Google ships a first-party MCP	Would be more authoritative; for now this is the strongest community option
Zapier/Composio hosted Google Workspace tools	You want hosted + no OAuth setup	Middleware fees; less control
