설치

클라이언트 선택

~/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
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config 열기. 저장 후 앱 재시작.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

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

Cursor는 Claude Desktop과 동일한 mcpServers 스키마 사용. 프로젝트 설정이 전역보다 우선.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

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

Cline 사이드바의 MCP Servers 아이콘 클릭 후 "Edit Configuration" 선택.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

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

Claude Desktop과 같은 형식. Windsurf 재시작 후 적용.

~/.continue/config.json

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

Continue는 맵이 아닌 서버 오브젝트 배열 사용.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

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

context_servers에 추가. 저장 시 Zed가 핫 리로드.

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

한 줄 명령. claude mcp list로 확인, claude mcp remove로 제거.

사용 사례

실전 활용법: google-workspace-mcp

Triage your inbox and draft replies

👤 Anyone buried in email ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

언제 쓸까: Morning inbox. 200 unread. You want to know what needs a response today.

사전 조건

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

Authenticate

Authenticate my Gmail account via OAuth.✓ 복사됨

Classify

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

→ Counts + sample subjects per bucket
Draft replies

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

→ Drafts ready for review

결과: 30 minutes of inbox triage in 5.

함정

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

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

흐름

Check availability

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

→ Candidate slots
Create event

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

→ Event created with video link

결과: Meeting scheduled without the Doodle dance.

함정

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

👤 Ops / compliance ⏱ ~30 min intermediate

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

흐름

Enumerate

→ File list with exposure flags
Remediate

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

→ Per-file change plan

결과: Drive posture improved in one pass.

함정

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

도구

이 MCP가 노출하는 것

도구	입력	언제 호출	비용
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

비용 및 제한

운영 비용

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

보안

권한, 시크릿, 파급범위

최소 스코프: Gmail.readonly + Calendar + Drive — grant only what you use

자격 증명 저장: Tokens in OS keychain (XDG-compliant); OAuth refresh handled automatically

데이터 외부 송신: Your Google data flows through MCP to your LLM provider

절대 부여 금지: 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.

문제 해결

자주 발생하는 오류와 해결

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.

확인: Google Cloud Console > APIs > Quotas

Tokens expired despite refresh

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

대안

google-workspace-mcp 다른 것과 비교

대안	언제 쓰나	단점/장점
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
