Google Workspace Developer Tools MCP Server

Published on Markdown

Following the release of the VS Code extension, I’ve also published a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Google Workspace Developers.

This server provides AI agents with context-aware access to Google Workspace developer documentation, enabling them to retrieve up-to-date information about APIs, services, and code snippets.

Features

Documentation Access

The MCP server allows LLMs and AI agents to search and retrieve official Google Workspace documentation. This ensures that the AI answers your questions using the latest guides and best practices, rather than outdated training data.

You can use it to:

  • Retrieve up-to-date information about Google Workspace APIs.
  • Fetch code snippets and examples.
  • Understand concepts and limitations of specific services.

Usage

Gemini CLI

If you are using the Gemini CLI, the MCP server is automatically included when you install the developer tools extension:

gemini extensions install https://github.com/googleworkspace/developer-tools

Gemini Code Assist & Other Clients

For other MCP clients, you can configure the server manually.

For Gemini, add this to your settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "workspace-developer": {
      "httpUrl": "https://workspace-developer.goog/mcp"
    }
  }
}
