About freema/mcp-gsheets
Connects Claude Desktop to Google Sheets with a wide set of actions, reading, writing, inserting rows, creating new sheets, and more, so you can manage a spreadsheet by describing what you want instead of clicking through menus. It covers the operations most small businesses actually use a spreadsheet for: tracking data, building simple workflows, and keeping shared sheets current. A solid pick if you want more spreadsheet control than a bare read and write connector.
Best for
Small businesses that want fuller spreadsheet control through Claude
Use cases
- Add or update data in a shared spreadsheet from a plain-English request
- Create a new sheet or tab to track a new project
- Query spreadsheet data to inform a decision or answer a question
- Build a simple recurring workflow that reads from and writes to a sheet
Notes
An MCP server that lets Claude Desktop read, write, and manipulate Google Sheets. It uses TypeScript and exposes spreadsheet operations as tools for the AI assistant.
