Nothing serious here today

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

Connect this server

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 mcp-server-google-workspace -- npx -y @mindstone/mcp-server-google-workspace

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID (Google OAuth client ID), GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET (Google OAuth client secret), ACCOUNTS_PATH (Path to accounts.json written by the MCP host), CREDENTIALS_PATH (Directory containing per-account Google OAuth token files), GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS (Outbound Google API request timeout in milliseconds (max 300000 = 5 min)), GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_DISABLE_REFRESH (Set to 1 to disable background OAuth token refresh (tokens are only read, never refreshed)), MCP_WORKSPACE_PATH (Directory attachments and downloaded files are constrained to (defaults to a temp dir; reads/writes outside it are refused)), WORKSPACE_BASE_PATH (Legacy fallback for MCP_WORKSPACE_PATH; prefer MCP_WORKSPACE_PATH), GAUTH_FILE (Legacy fallback path to gauth.json OAuth client config; host-orchestrated setups use GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID/GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET instead). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Google Workspace — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Google Workspace?
Google Workspace 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 @mindstone/mcp-server-google-workspace was installed 147 times last week.
How do I connect Google Workspace?
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 @mindstone/mcp-server-google-workspace straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Google Workspace?
The npm package @mindstone/mcp-server-google-workspace was installed 147 times in the last week. Week over week that is -22%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Google Workspace open source?
We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript, 12 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.
