Manual Installation

  1. Prerequisites:

    • Install Bun:
    brew install oven-sh/bun/bun  # macOS/Linux with Homebrew
    
  2. Set Up OAuth:

    • Create a Google Cloud project in the Google Cloud Console.
    • Set up OAuth 2.0 credentials (Client ID, Client Secret).
    • Choose the type Desktop app.
    • If using test mode, add your email to the test users list.
    • Make sure to enable API access for desired services (Gmail, Calendar, Drive etc.).
  3. Configure Your Client: Edit your claude_desktop_config.json (or equivalent config file for your client):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-mcp": {
      "command": "bunx",
      "args": ["--no-cache", "google-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        // Either can be used, but not both
        // Use OAuth
        "GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID": "<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>",
        "GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET": "<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>",
        "GOOGLE_OAUTH_TOKEN_PATH": "<PATH_TO_STORE_TOKENS>",
        // Use Service Account
        "GOOGLE_CLIENT_EMAIL": "<YOUR_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL>",
        "GOOGLE_PRIVATE_KEY": "<YOUR_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY>",
        "GMAIL_USER_TO_IMPERSONATE": "<USER_TO_IMPERSONATE>"
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. Authenticate:
    • The first time you run the server, it will open a browser for OAuth authentication. Follow the prompts to grant access, and tokens will be saved to GOOGLE_OAUTH_TOKEN_PATH.

Usage

Now, ask Claude to use the google-mcp tool.

Send an email to [email protected] with the subject "Meeting Notes" and body "Here are the notes from today."
List my upcoming calendar events for the next 3 days.
Create a calendar event titled "Team Sync" tomorrow at 10 AM for 1 hour.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications, providing a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.

What are MCP Servers?

MCP Servers are lightweight programs that expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol. They act as bridges between LLMs like Claude and various data sources or services, allowing secure access to files, databases, APIs, and other resources.

How do MCP Servers work?

MCP Servers follow a client-server architecture where a host application (like Claude Desktop) connects to multiple servers. Each server provides specific functionality through standardized endpoints and protocols, enabling Claude to access data and perform actions through the standardized protocol.

Are MCP Servers secure?

Yes, MCP Servers are designed with security in mind. They run locally with explicit configuration and permissions, require user approval for actions, and include built-in security features to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data privacy.
