It supports multiple Google accounts and provides tools for reading, searching, sending emails, and managing calendar events. It is designed for users who want to control their Gmail and Calendar through natural language prompts in MCP clients like Claude Desktop.

FAQ from mcp-gsuite

How does authentication work?

Google Workspace APIs require OAuth2. You must create OAuth2 credentials in the Google Cloud Console, enable Gmail and Calendar APIs, and place the client JSON in a .gauth.json file. On first use for each account, a browser opens for authorization; the resulting token is stored locally.

What configuration files are needed?

You need .gauth.json (OAuth client config) and .accounts.json (list of emails with optional extra info for the AI). Custom paths can be specified via --gauth-file, --accounts-file, and --credentials-dir flags.

Where are OAuth tokens stored?

After successful login, credentials are saved as .oauth.{email}.json in the current working directory (or a custom directory set with --credentials-dir). Refresh tokens are used for future access.

Can I use multiple Google accounts?

Yes. The .accounts.json file can list several accounts, each with a label and optional extra information (e.g., “Contains Family Calendar”). The AI will use the account specified in the prompt.
