Overview

AI-generated overview

Wraps gogcli to give an assistant Google Docs tools: read, create, edit, format, export and manage comments on documents.

What you can do
  • Read and inspect documents, including plain text, raw JSON, structure and tabs
  • Create, copy, append, insert, update and delete document content, with find-and-replace and sed-like regex edits
  • Apply character and paragraph formatting such as bold, color and alignment
  • Export documents as PDF, TXT, HTML, DOCX, RTF, ODT or EPUB
  • List, read, add, reply to, resolve and delete comments, and move documents to Drive trash
  • Authenticate and check the Google account used by gogcli
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to work directly on Google Docs content — drafting and editing text, reformatting, exporting to another format, or triaging and answering review comments — without leaving the chat.
Requirements
Runs locally as an npm package (gogcli-mcp-docs) on Node.js 22 or newer, with gogcli installed and authenticated for a Google account with Docs and Drive services. Set GOG_ACCOUNT to the account email; GOG_PATH can point at the gogcli binary, and DISPLAY_TZ / GOG_TIMEZONE control time zones.
Before you install
The server can write to and delete Google Docs content, trash documents and delete comments; set GOG_READONLY to block mutating requests when you only need reading. It relies on your existing gogcli Google credentials, and the README states the codebase was built and maintained by an AI and should be reviewed before use. Markdown append has known upstream formatting bugs.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Gogcli Mcp Docs in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

Known limitations: gog_docs_append with markdown: true

These bugs live in gogcli's upstream markdown → Docs converter; the wrapper just passes --markdown through. Tracked upstream:

SymptomWorkaroundUpstream
3+ tables in one call reorders the trailing punctuation of the paragraph before the 3rd tableSplit into multiple calls with ≤2 tables eachopenclaw/gogcli#607
Inline **bold** / *italic* / `code` inside table cells renders as literal charactersInsert plain cell text, then apply formatting via gog_docs_formatopenclaw/gogcli#608

Files on a hosted deployment

When this server is hosted (remote), it cannot read paths on your machine. Call gog_upload_slots with files: [{filename}], PUT each file to its uploadUrl with the slot's curl command, then pass the returned blobKeys to gog_docs_insert_image and gog_docs_replace_image (instead of file). Files up to 25 MiB; each is deleted from the upload store after the call succeeds and kept if it fails. On a local install, pass a path as before.

Score

50% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
