# Google Workspace MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools for interacting with Gmail and Calendar APIs. This server enables you to manage your emails and calendar events programmatically through the MCP interface.

## Features

### Gmail Tools
- `list_emails`: List recent emails from your inbox with optional filtering
- `search_emails`: Advanced email search with Gmail query syntax
- `send_email`: Send new emails with support for CC and BCC
- `modify_email`: Modify email labels (archive, trash, mark read/unread)

### Calendar Tools
- `list_events`: List upcoming calendar events with date range filtering
- `create_event`: Create new calendar events with attendees
- The events below were removed from this server for security measures since Google Cloud Calendar API does not have a scope that allows creation but prevents deletion or updates.
- <s>`update_event`: Update existing calendar events</s>
- <s>`delete_event`: Delete calendar events</s>

## Prerequisites

1. **Node.js**: Install Node.js version 14 or higher
2. **Google Cloud Console Setup**:
   - Go to [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/)
   - Create a new project or select an existing one
   - Enable the Gmail API and Google Calendar API:
     1. Go to "APIs & Services" > "Library"
     2. Search for and enable "Gmail API"
     3. Search for and enable "Google Calendar API"
   - Set up OAuth 2.0 credentials:
     1. Go to "APIs & Services" > "Credentials"
     2. Click "Create Credentials" > "OAuth client ID"
     3. Choose "Web application"
     4. Set "Authorized redirect URIs" to include: `http://localhost:4100/code`
     5. Note down the Client ID and Client Secret

## Setup Instructions

### Installing via Smithery

To install Google Workspace Server - No Calendar Deletion for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@erickva/google-workspace-mcp-server-no-calendar-deletetion):

```bash
npx -y @smithery/cli install @erickva/google-workspace-mcp-server-no-calendar-deletetion --client claude
```

### Installing Manually

1. **Clone and Install**:
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/epaproditus/google-workspace-mcp-server.git
   cd google-workspace-mcp-server
   npm install
   ```

2. **Create OAuth Credentials**:
   Create a `credentials.json` file in the root directory:
   ```json
   {
       "web": {
           "client_id": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
           "client_secret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
           "redirect_uris": ["http://localhost:4100/code"],
           "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
           "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token"
       }
   }
   ```

3. **Get Refresh Token**:
   ```bash
   node get-refresh-token.js
   ```
   This will:
   - Open your browser for Google OAuth authentication
   - Request the following permissions:
     - `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify`
     - `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar`
     - `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send`
   - Save the credentials to `token.json`
   - Display the refresh token in the console

4. **Configure MCP Settings**:
   Add the server configuration to your MCP settings file:
   - For VSCode Claude extension: `~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json`
   - For Claude desktop app: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

   Add this to the `mcpServers` object:
   ```json
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "google-workspace": {
         "command": "node",
         "args": ["/path/to/google-workspace-server/build/index.js"],
         "env": {
           "GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
           "GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret",
           "GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN": "your_refresh_token"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   ```

5. **Build and Run**:
   ```bash
   npm run build
   ```

TDQS

C2.6/5.0

Scored across 7 tools

Disambiguation2/5

The tool set mixes calendar and email operations without clear boundaries, causing potential misselection. For example, 'list_emails' and 'search_emails' overlap in purpose for email retrieval, while calendar tools like 'create_event' and 'list_events' are distinct but the server's dual-domain focus creates confusion.

Naming Consistency3/5

Naming conventions are mixed, with some tools using verb_noun patterns like 'create_event' and others using noun_verb like 'meeting_suggestion'. While readable, the inconsistency in structure (e.g., 'modify_email' vs. 'send_email') deviates from a predictable pattern.

Tool Count3/5

With 7 tools, the count is reasonable, but it feels borderline due to the server's split focus on both Google Calendar and Gmail. This scope might be too broad for the limited tool set, leading to a thin coverage in each domain.

Completeness2/5

For the implied dual-domain purpose, there are significant gaps. In calendar, tools lack update or delete event operations, and in email, there's no way to delete emails or manage drafts. The server name suggests calendar focus, but email tools are included without full lifecycle coverage.
