Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Google Contacts every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add google-contacts-mcp -- npx -y google-contacts-mcp

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: MCP_TRANSPORT (Transport type.), GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID (Google OAuth client ID.), GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET (Google OAuth client secret.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Google Contacts — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Google Contacts?
Google Contacts runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package google-contacts-mcp was installed 60 times last week.
How do I connect Google Contacts?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls google-contacts-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Google Contacts?
The npm package google-contacts-mcp was installed 60 times in the last week. Week over week that is +149%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Google Contacts open source?
We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript, 3 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
