        "-y",
        "google-workspace-mcp"

Ouvrez Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Redémarrez après avoir enregistré.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-workspace-2": {
      "command": "npx",

        "google-workspace-mcp"

  }
}

Cursor utilise le même schéma mcpServers que Claude Desktop. La config projet l'emporte sur la globale.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

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

Cliquez sur l'icône MCP Servers dans la barre latérale Cline, puis "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

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

Même format que Claude Desktop. Redémarrez Windsurf pour appliquer.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [

      "args": [
        "-y",
        "google-workspace-mcp"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue utilise un tableau d'objets serveur plutôt qu'une map.

{

Ajoutez dans context_servers. Zed recharge à chaud à la sauvegarde.

Cas d'usage

Usages concrets : google-workspace-mcp

Triage your inbox and draft replies

👤 Anyone buried in email ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

Quand l'utiliser : Morning inbox. 200 unread. You want to know what needs a response today.

Prérequis

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

Déroulement

Authenticate

Authenticate my Gmail account via OAuth.✓ Copié

→ OAuth flow completes
Classify

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

→ Counts + sample subjects per bucket
Draft replies

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

→ Drafts ready for review

Résultat : 30 minutes of inbox triage in 5.

Pièges

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

Quand l'utiliser : You need 45 minutes next week that works for 5 people across time zones.

Déroulement

Check availability

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

→ Candidate slots
Create event

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

→ Event created with video link

Résultat : Meeting scheduled without the Doodle dance.

Pièges

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

Quand l'utiliser : Somebody shared a sensitive folder broadly. You want to know exactly who has access.

Déroulement

Enumerate

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

→ File list with exposure flags
Remediate

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

→ Per-file change plan

Résultat : Drive posture improved in one pass.

Pièges

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

Combinaisons

Associez-le à d'autres MCPs pour un effet X10

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'.✓ Copié

Outils

Ce que ce MCP expose

Outil	Entrées	Quand appeler	Coût
manage_email	action: 'search'\|'read'\|'send'\|'reply'\|'label'\|..., ...	Any Gmail op	1 Gmail API call
manage_calendar	action: 'list'\|'create'\|'update'\|'delete'\|'freebusy'\|..., ...	Any Calendar op	1 Calendar API call
manage_drive	action: 'search'\|'upload'\|'download'\|'share'\|'export'\|..., ...	Any Drive op	1 Drive API call
manage_accounts	action: 'add'\|'remove'\|'switch'\|'list'	Multi-account switching	free
queue_operations	steps[]	Chain ops that depend on each other (e.g. create doc, share it)	sum of steps

Coût et limites

Coût d'exécution

Quota d'API: Gmail: 1B units/day (most ops 5-50 units). Calendar/Drive: generous quotas.
Tokens par appel: Drive list results can be big — paginate
Monétaire: Free; Google Workspace license required for business accounts
Astuce: Cache account metadata. Gmail search is quota-heavy; scope with label/date filters.

Sécurité

Permissions, secrets, portée

Portées minimales : Gmail.readonly + Calendar + Drive — grant only what you use

Stockage des identifiants : Tokens in OS keychain (XDG-compliant); OAuth refresh handled automatically

Sortie de données : Your Google data flows through MCP to your LLM provider

Ne jamais accorder : 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.

Dépannage

Erreurs courantes et correctifs

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.

Vérifier : Google Cloud Console > APIs > Quotas

Tokens expired despite refresh

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

Alternatives

google-workspace-mcp vs autres

Alternative	Quand l'utiliser	Compromis
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
