## Installation

```bash
pip install gworkspace-mcp
```

Or with [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv):

```bash
uv pip install gworkspace-mcp
```

For development:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/masapasa/google-workspace-mcp.git
cd google-workspace-mcp
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

## Quick Start

### 1. Set Up Google Cloud Credentials

1. Go to [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/)
2. Create a new project or select an existing one
3. Enable the following APIs:
   - Gmail API
   - Google Calendar API
   - Google Drive API
   - Google Docs API
   - Google Tasks API
4. Create OAuth 2.0 credentials (Desktop application)
5. Download and note your Client ID and Client Secret

### 2. Authenticate

```bash
# Set your credentials
export GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID='your-client-id'
export GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET='your-client-secret'  # pragma: allowlist secret

# Run OAuth flow (opens browser)
workspace setup

# Verify authentication
workspace doctor
```

### 3. Start MCP Server

```bash
workspace mcp
```

### 4. Connect to Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

**macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
**Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
**Linux**: `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-workspace": {
      "command": "workspace",
      "args": ["mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
        "GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret"  // pragma: allowlist secret
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Restart Claude Desktop to activate.

## Authentication

### OAuth 2.0 Flow

This server uses OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication with Google APIs. The authentication flow:

1. `workspace setup` opens your browser for Google consent
2. You authorize access to Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, and Tasks
3. Tokens are securely stored locally
4. Tokens auto-refresh when expired

### Required Scopes

The server requests the following OAuth scopes:

| Scope | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify` | Read, send, and organize Gmail |
| `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar` | Full calendar access |
| `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive` | Full Drive access |
| `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/documents` | Read and write Google Docs |
| `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks` | Full Tasks access |

### Token Storage

Tokens are stored at: `~/.gworkspace-mcp/tokens.json`

This file contains your OAuth tokens. Keep it secure and do not share it.

## Requirements

- **Python**: 3.10 or higher
- **Google Cloud Project**: With Workspace APIs enabled
- **OAuth 2.0 Credentials**: Desktop application type
- **Optional**: [rclone](https://rclone.org/) for Drive sync features (4 tools)
- **Optional**: [pandoc](https://pandoc.org/) for Markdown to Docs conversion
- **Optional**: [@mermaid-js/mermaid-cli](https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid-cli) for Mermaid diagrams

## Troubleshooting

### "Not authenticated" error

Run `workspace setup` to authenticate, or check status with `workspace doctor`.

### Token refresh failing

Delete `~/.gworkspace-mcp/tokens.json` and run `workspace setup` again.

### Missing rclone tools

The 4 rclone-based tools (`list_drive_contents`, `download_drive_folder`, `upload_to_drive`, `sync_drive_folder`) require rclone to be installed. Install from [rclone.org](https://rclone.org/install/).

### Claude Desktop not seeing tools

1. Ensure the config file path is correct for your OS
2. Restart Claude Desktop after config changes
