Google

You can run a locally-hosted MCP server that exposes Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive as controllable tools. This setup lets you access these Google services from MCP clients, making it easy to list, read, create, and search data directly from your preferred interface.

How to use

You connect to the Google MCP Server from your MCP client by configuring a server entry with the appropriate transport method. You can run the server locally to interact with Gmail, Calendar, and Drive through your client of choice.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installing are Python 3.10 or newer and a Google account. You also require a Google Cloud project with OAuth 2.0 credentials.

Install the package in editable mode to set up the server locally.

pip install -e .

# Or using uv if you prefer
uv pip install -e .

Additional setup notes

Set up Google Cloud credentials by creating or selecting a project, enabling Gmail, Calendar, and Drive APIs, configuring an OAuth consent screen, and creating OAuth 2.0 credentials for a Desktop app. Download the credentials as credentials.json and place it in the project root. You’ll use this file to authenticate and obtain an access token.

(Optional) Prepare environment configuration by copying the example environment file and adjusting paths as needed. The defaults assume credentials.json and token.json live in the project root.
