Nothing serious here today

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

Put your own value in place of <GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID> (Google OAuth client ID (required for OAuth authentication modes)). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET (Google OAuth client secret (optional for public clients)), GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_FILE (Path to service account JSON key file (required for service-account auth mode)), AUTH_MODE (Authentication mode), HEADLESS (Disable browser auto-open, return auth URL instead (true/false)), REDIRECT_URI (OAuth redirect URI (optional, default: ephemeral loopback)), DCR_MODE (Dynamic Client Registration mode), DCR_VERIFY_URL (External verification endpoint URL (required for external DCR mode)), DCR_STORE_URI (DCR client storage URI (for self-hosted DCR mode)), RESOURCE_STORE_URI (Resource store URI for exported files (file://)), PORT (HTTP server port (overrides --port)), BASE_URL (Base URL for HTTP transport (used for OAuth/DCR endpoints and file links)), LOG_LEVEL (Logging level).

Google Sheets — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Google Sheets?
Google Sheets 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 @mcp-z/mcp-sheets was installed 317 times last week.
How do I connect Google Sheets?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @mcp-z/mcp-sheets straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Google Sheets?
The npm package @mcp-z/mcp-sheets was installed 317 times in the last week. Week over week that is +102%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
