A quick plug for AI-Enhanced Docs

This README was written with AI assistance, and here's why that matters

As a solo dev building open source tools, comprehensive documentation often wouldn't happen without AI help. Using agentic dev tools like Roo & Claude Code that understand the entire codebase, AI doesn't just regurgitate generic content - it extracts real implementation details and creates accurate, specific documentation.
In this case, Sonnet 4 took a pass & a human (me) verified them 8/16/25.

Connect to Claude Desktop

The server supports two transport modes:

Stdio Mode (Default - Recommended for Claude Desktop)

In general, you should use the one-click DXT installer package for Claude Desktop. If you are unable to for some reason, you can configure it manually via claude_desktop_config.json

Manual Claude Configuration (Alternative)

Open Claude Desktop Settings → Developer → Edit Config
- macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Add the server configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "google_workspace": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["workspace-mcp"], "env": { "GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id", "GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-secret", "OAUTHLIB_INSECURE_TRANSPORT": "1" } } } }

2. Advanced / Cross-Platform Installation

If you’re developing, deploying to servers, or using another MCP-capable client, keep reading.

Instant CLI (uvx)

# Requires Python 3.10+ and uvx # First, set credentials (see Credential Configuration above) uvx workspace-mcp --tool-tier core # or --tools gmail drive calendar

Note: Configure OAuth credentials before running. Supports environment variables, .env file, or client_secret.json.

OAuth 2.1 Support (Multi-User Bearer Token Authentication)

The server includes OAuth 2.1 support for bearer token authentication, enabling multi-user session management. OAuth 2.1 automatically reuses your existing - no additional configuration needed!

When to use OAuth 2.1:

Multiple users accessing the same MCP server instance
Need for bearer token authentication instead of passing user emails
Building web applications or APIs on top of the MCP server
Production environments requiring secure session management
Browser-based clients requiring CORS support

Enabling OAuth 2.1: To enable OAuth 2.1, set the MCP_ENABLE_OAUTH21 environment variable to true.

# OAuth 2.1 requires HTTP transport mode export MCP_ENABLE_OAUTH21=true uv run main.py --transport streamable-http

If MCP_ENABLE_OAUTH21 is not set to true, the server will use legacy authentication, which is suitable for clients that do not support OAuth 2.1.

This implementation solves two critical challenges when using Google OAuth in browser environments:

Dynamic Client Registration: Google doesn't support OAuth 2.1 dynamic client registration. Our server provides a clever proxy that accepts any client registration request and returns the pre-configured Google OAuth credentials, allowing standards-compliant clients to work seamlessly.
CORS Issues: Google's OAuth endpoints don't include CORS headers, blocking browser-based clients. We implement intelligent proxy endpoints that:

Proxy authorization server discovery requests through /auth/discovery/authorization-server/{server}
Proxy token exchange requests through /oauth2/token
Add proper CORS headers to all responses
Maintain security by only proxying to known Google OAuth endpoints

This architecture enables any OAuth 2.1 compliant client to authenticate users through Google, even from browser environments, without requiring changes to the client implementation.

Stateless Mode (Container-Friendly)

The server supports a stateless mode designed for containerized environments where file system writes should be avoided:

Enabling Stateless Mode:

# Stateless mode requires OAuth 2.1 to be enabled export MCP_ENABLE_OAUTH21=true export WORKSPACE_MCP_STATELESS_MODE=true uv run main.py --transport streamable-http

Key Features:

No file system writes: Credentials are never written to disk
No debug logs: File-based logging is completely disabled
Memory-only sessions: All tokens stored in memory via OAuth 2.1 session store
Container-ready: Perfect for Docker, Kubernetes, and serverless deployments
Token per request: Each request must include a valid Bearer token

Requirements:

Must be used with MCP_ENABLE_OAUTH21=true
Incompatible with single-user mode
Clients must handle OAuth flow and send valid tokens with each request

This mode is ideal for:

Cloud deployments where persistent storage is unavailable
Multi-tenant environments requiring strict isolation
Containerized applications with read-only filesystems
Serverless functions and ephemeral compute environments

MCP Inspector: No additional configuration needed with desktop OAuth client.

Claude Code Inspector: No additional configuration needed with desktop OAuth client.

Reverse Proxy Setup

If you're running the MCP server behind a reverse proxy (nginx, Apache, Cloudflare, etc.), you have two configuration options:

Problem: When behind a reverse proxy, the server constructs OAuth URLs using internal ports (e.g., http://localhost:8000) but external clients need the public URL (e.g., https://your-domain.com).

Solution 1: Set WORKSPACE_EXTERNAL_URL for all OAuth endpoints:

# This configures all OAuth endpoints to use your external URL export WORKSPACE_EXTERNAL_URL="https://your-domain.com"

Solution 2: Set GOOGLE_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI for just the callback:

# This only overrides the OAuth callback URL export GOOGLE_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI="https://your-domain.com/oauth2callback"

Important:

Use WORKSPACE_EXTERNAL_URL when all OAuth endpoints should use the external URL (recommended for reverse proxy setups)
Use GOOGLE_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI when you only need to override the callback URL
The redirect URI must exactly match what's configured in your Google Cloud Console
Your reverse proxy must forward OAuth-related requests (/oauth2callback, /oauth2/*, /.well-known/*) to the MCP server

# Configure credentials first (see Credential Configuration section) # Start with specific tools only uvx workspace-mcp --tools gmail drive calendar tasks # Start with tool tiers (recommended for most users) uvx workspace-mcp --tool-tier core # Essential tools uvx workspace-mcp --tool-tier extended # Core + additional features uvx workspace-mcp --tool-tier complete # All tools # Start in HTTP mode for debugging uvx workspace-mcp --transport streamable-http

Development Installation

For development or customization:

git clone https://github.com/taylorwilsdon/google_workspace_mcp.git cd google_workspace_mcp uv run main.py

Development Installation (For Contributors):

{ "mcpServers": { "google_workspace": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "run", "--directory", "/path/to/repo/google_workspace_mcp", "main.py" ], "env": { "GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id", "GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-secret", "OAUTHLIB_INSECURE_TRANSPORT": "1" } } } }

HTTP Mode (For debugging or web interfaces)

If you need to use HTTP mode with Claude Desktop:

{ "mcpServers": { "google_workspace": { "command": "npx", "args": ["mcp-remote", "http://localhost:8000/mcp"] } } }

Note: Make sure to start the server with

First-Time Authentication

The server uses Google Desktop OAuth for simplified authentication:

No redirect URIs needed: Desktop OAuth clients handle authentication without complex callback URLs
Automatic flow: The server manages the entire OAuth process transparently
Transport-agnostic: Works seamlessly in both stdio and HTTP modes

When calling a tool:

Server returns authorization URL
Open URL in browser and authorize
Google provides an authorization code
Paste the code when prompted (or it's handled automatically)
Server completes authentication and retries your request

Architecture Highlights

Service Caching: 30-minute TTL reduces authentication overhead
Scope Management: Centralized in SCOPE_GROUPS for easy maintenance
Error Handling: Native exceptions instead of manual error construction
Multi-Service Support: @require_multiple_services() for complex tools

Credential Store System

The server includes an abstract credential store API and a default backend for managing Google OAuth credentials with support for multiple storage backends:

Features:

Abstract Interface: CredentialStore base class defines standard operations (get, store, delete, list users)
Local File Storage: LocalDirectoryCredentialStore implementation stores credentials as JSON files
Configurable Storage: Environment variable GOOGLE_MCP_CREDENTIALS_DIR sets storage location
Multi-User Support: Store and manage credentials for multiple Google accounts
Automatic Directory Creation: Storage directory is created automatically if it doesn't exist

Configuration:

# Optional: Set custom credentials directory export GOOGLE_MCP_CREDENTIALS_DIR="/path/to/credentials" # Default locations (if GOOGLE_MCP_CREDENTIALS_DIR not set): # - ~/.google_workspace_mcp/credentials (if home directory accessible) # - ./.credentials (fallback)

Usage Example:

from auth.credential_store import get_credential_store # Get the global credential store instance store = get_credential_store() # Store credentials for a user store.store_credential("user@example.com", credentials) # Retrieve credentials creds = store.get_credential("user@example.com") # List all users with stored credentials users = store.list_users()

The credential store automatically handles credential serialization, expiry parsing, and provides error handling for storage operations.

⊠ Security

Credentials: Never commit .env, client_secret.json or the .credentials/ directory to source control!
OAuth Callback: Uses http://localhost:8000/oauth2callback for development (requires OAUTHLIB_INSECURE_TRANSPORT=1)
Transport-Aware Callbacks: Stdio mode starts a minimal HTTP server only for OAuth, ensuring callbacks work in all modes
Production: Use HTTPS & OAuth 2.1 and configure accordingly
Network Exposure: Consider authentication when using mcpo over networks
Scope Minimization: Tools request only necessary permissions
