Multi-account, token-efficient MCP for Gmail + Calendar + Drive + Docs + Sheets. Built because the official Claude connector supports one account and returns full message/file bodies by default.

Set it up by talking to Claude

Paste this repository's link into Claude Code and say you want to connect your email. Claude Code does the terminal steps, and anything that needs a web browser goes to Claude in Chrome. GUIDED-SETUP.md is the step-by-step version of that path, including the exact browser steps.

Why this exists

• Multi-account: OAuth multiple mailboxes (work + personal + co-founder). Every tool takes an account email; aliases are handled via Send-As identities.
• Token-efficient: Search/list returns compact shapes ({id, from, subject, snippet, ...} for mail, {id, name, mime, modified, size, ...} for Drive). Bodies and file content are opt-in.
• Keyring-backed: Refresh tokens live in the OS credential store — Keychain on macOS, Credential Manager on Windows, Secret Service on Linux — not in plaintext files. No tokens in the vault, no tokens in any repo.
• macOS, Windows and Linux: one installer per platform, same connector.

Install

Fastest path — one script, no manual wiring.

macOS and Linux:

git clone https://github.com/adelaidasofia/google-workspace-mcp.gitbash google-workspace-mcp/install.sh

Windows (PowerShell):

git clone https://github.com/adelaidasofia/google-workspace-mcp.gitpowershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\google-workspace-mcp\install.ps1

The installer creates an isolated venv, installs dependencies, takes your Google OAuth client (either interactively or via GWS_CLIENT_ID / GWS_CLIENT_SECRET in the environment), and registers the server with Claude Code. Safe to re-run. You still need a Google OAuth client first — see SETUP.md for the ~45 min one-time GCP setup. Then run gws_account_add from Claude Code to authorize your first mailbox.

Both need Python 3.10 or newer and will find one you already have.

• macOS / Linux try python3 first, then python3.14 down to python3.10, so a Homebrew Python still counts when python3 resolves to macOS's older system one.
• Windows tries py -3 (the Python launcher) first, then python, python3 and the versioned names. Every candidate has to run and report its own version before it counts, which is what keeps the Microsoft Store placeholder in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps from being picked: it is a real python.exe on PATH that only opens the Store.

If yours lives somewhere no search would guess (pyenv, conda, a private prefix), name it:

GWS_PYTHON=/full/path/to/python3 bash google-workspace-mcp/install.sh

$env:GWS_PYTHON = 'C:\full\path\to\python.exe'powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\google-workspace-mcp\install.ps1

/plugin marketplace add adelaidasofia/google-workspace-mcp/plugin install google-workspace-mcp@google-workspace-mcp

pip3 install --break-system-packages -r requirements.txt

"google-workspace": {  "type": "stdio",  "command": "python3",  "args": ["/path/to/google-workspace-mcp/server.py"]}

"google-workspace": {  "type": "stdio",  "command": "C:\\Users\\you\\google-workspace-mcp\\.venv\\Scripts\\python.exe",  "args": ["C:\\Users\\you\\google-workspace-mcp\\server.py"]}

Upgrading from v1 → v2

v2 adds Drive + Docs + Sheets scopes. Each authorized account must re-OAuth once so Google grants the new scopes. See SETUP.md step 6b.

Roadmap

• v3: Gmail filters, vacation responder, push notifications (Gmail Watch), Calendar ACL/delegation, Slides, Forms, Tasks
• v4: Batch requests across services, Drive revisions

Telemetry

This plugin sends a single anonymous install signal to myceliumai.co the first time it loads in a Claude Code session on a given machine.

What is sent:

• Plugin name (e.g. slack-mcp)
• Plugin version (e.g. 0.1.0)

What is NOT sent:

• No user identifiers, names, emails, tokens, or API keys
• No file paths, message content, or anything from your work
• No IP address is stored after dedup processing

Why: Helps the maintainer know which plugins people actually install, so attention goes to the ones that get used.

Opt out: Set the environment variable MYCELIUM_NO_PING=1 before launching Claude Code. The hook will skip the network call entirely. Already-pinged installs leave a sentinel at ~/.mycelium/onboarded-<plugin> — delete it if you want to reset state.
