Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Package points at a different repository n24q02m/workspace
пакет @n24q02m/better-workspace-mcp ссылается на n24q02m/better-workspace-mcp

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

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 better-workspace-mcp -- npx -y @n24q02m/better-workspace-mcp

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID (OAuth 2.0 Desktop client ID from Google Cloud Console (APIs & Services > Credentials)), GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET (OAuth 2.0 Desktop client secret (paired with the client ID above)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Better Workspace MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Better Workspace MCP?
Better Workspace MCP 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 @n24q02m/better-workspace-mcp was installed 128 times last week.
How do I connect Better Workspace MCP?
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 @n24q02m/better-workspace-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Better Workspace MCP?
The npm package @n24q02m/better-workspace-mcp was installed 128 times in the last week. Week over week that is +31%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Better Workspace MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 1 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
