**New Tool: sheets_insert_rows** - Insert new rows at specific position with optional data - Support for inserting rows before or after a specified anchor point - Optional data population for newly inserted rows - Inherit formatting from previous row option - Flexible value input options (RAW or USER_ENTERED) ### Changed - **Enhanced sheets_append_values Description** - Added explicit warning about default OVERWRITE behavior - Clarified that default `insertDataOption` is `OVERWRITE` - Added note about using `INSERT_ROWS` option to insert new rows instead of overwriting ### Documentation - Added detailed documentation for sheets_insert_rows tool with examples - Updated README to highlight the default OVERWRITE behavior in sheets_append_values ## [1.4.0] - 2025-08-11 ### Added - **HYPERLINK Formula Support**: New tools for inserting clickable links and dates with locale-aware formatting - `sheets_insert_link` - Insert HYPERLINK formulas with proper separator support (EU/US) - `sheets_insert_date` - Insert formatted dates with automatic parsing and locale support - Support for EU format (semicolon separator) and US format (comma separator) - Default to EU format (`useEUFormat: true`) for better international compatibility - Automatic date parsing for various formats (ISO, EU, US) and relative dates (today, tomorrow, yesterday) ### Fixed - HYPERLINK formula parsing errors in non-US locales - Date formatting issues for different regional settings ## [1.3.1] - 2025-07-12 ### Added - **Alternative Authentication Method**: Support for service account credentials as JSON string - New `GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY` environment variable for JSON string authentication - Useful for containerized environments, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment scenarios where file management is difficult - Falls back to JSON string authentication when `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` is not provided - Automatic project ID extraction from service account credentials - Enhanced validation with detailed error messages for invalid JSON format ### Changed - Updated authentication validation to support both file-based and JSON string methods - Enhanced documentation with examples for both authentication approaches - Updated `.env.example` to show both authentication options ## [1.3.0] - 2025-01-29 ### Added - **Chart Legend Support**: Series titles for meaningful legend labels - Optional `title` property for chart series to specify custom legend labels - Auto-detection of series names from header row above data ranges - Smart range expansion to include header rows for proper legend labeling - Support for both explicit titles and automatic detection from spreadsheet headers ### Fixed - **Sheet Name Handling**: Proper support for sheet names containing spaces - Fixed extraction of quoted sheet names (e.g., "My Sheet"!A1:B5) - Removed surrounding quotes from sheet names during parsing - Enhanced error messages to show available sheets when sheet not found - **Chart Position API**: Corrected chart position structure for Google Sheets API - Removed conflicting root-level `sheetId` from position object - Updated to use only `overlayPosition.anchorCell.sheetId` structure - Fixed "oneof field 'location' is already set" API errors - **Type Safety**: Enhanced TypeScript validation and error handling - Added proper null/undefined handling for series title detection - Improved range parsing with comprehensive error checking - Updated validators to support new series title functionality ### Changed - Updated tool descriptions to explain series naming and sheet name quoting - Enhanced input schema documentation with examples for proper usage - Improved chart creation logic to handle both basic and advanced use cases ## [1.1.0] - 2025-01-28 ### Added - Central type definitions in `src/types/common.ts` for shared types across the codebase - Centralized error messages in `src/utils/error-messages.ts` for consistency - Generic validation system in `src/utils/validation-helpers.ts` to reduce code duplication - Response formatting helpers in `src/utils/response-helpers.ts` for consistent API responses - **Batch operations**: - `sheets_batch_delete_sheets` - Delete multiple sheets in a single operation - `sheets_batch_format_cells` - Format multiple cell ranges in a single operation - **Chart management**: - `sheets_create_chart` - Create charts (COLUMN, BAR, LINE, AREA, PIE, SCATTER, COMBO, HISTOGRAM, CANDLESTICK, WATERFALL) - `sheets_update_chart` - Update existing charts (position, type, title, series, etc.) - `sheets_delete_chart` - Delete charts from spreadsheets ### Changed - Refactored validators to use generic validation system (`createRangeValidator`, `createSheetValidator`) - Updated all type definitions to use shared types from `common.ts` - Standardized error messages across all validators - Improved response formatting consistency using helper functions ### Fixed - Eliminated type definition redundancies between `types/tools.ts` and `types/sheets.ts` - Removed duplicate validation logic across validator functions - Fixed inconsistent error message formatting ## [1.0.0] - 2025-01-27 ### Initial Release - Google Sheets MCP server implementation - Support for all major Google Sheets operations: - Reading and writing values - Batch operations - Sheet management (create, delete, duplicate) - Cell formatting - Conditional formatting - Merging cells - Comprehensive test suite - Full TypeScript support -
