About conorbronsdon/gws-mcp-server

An MCP server that wraps the Google Workspace CLI (gws) as Model Context Protocol tools, enabling AI agents to interact with Google Workspace services programmatically. Built in TypeScript, it translates MCP tool calls into gws commands for tasks like managing email, calendar, and contacts.

Best for

Developers building MCP-based AI agents that need basic Google Workspace automation

Use cases

  • Automating email search and send operations via AI assistants
  • Managing calendar events and contacts through natural language prompts
  • Integrating Google Workspace workflows into MCP-compatible agent pipelines

Notes

4 stars on GitHub. Last updated 2026-04-23. Licensed MIT.

Pros

  • Leverages existing gws CLI for reliable Google Workspace access
  • Simple MCP interface reduces boilerplate for agent integration
  • TypeScript codebase is approachable for most developers

Cons

  • Requires separate gws CLI installation and authentication setup
  • Limited to operations exposed by gws, not full Google API coverage
  • Small community and low star count may mean less support
