Google Workspace MCP Server

Capable, but hard to hand over unsupervised.

Highest-value, highest-blast-radius connection in the directory: an agent that can read your mail and write your docs. The Google Cloud setup is the price of admission, and no llms.txt anywhere.

What an agent can do here

Google now ships official MCP servers for Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar and Chat — the single biggest surface an agent can act on for a person.

Action depth: Core write
Hosting: Self-run
Auth: Complex
Unattended: Needs a human
Blast radius: High

What it costs to let an agent act

FreeUnmetered

Works with personal Google accounts and Workspace tenants, but requires a Google Cloud project, enabled APIs and OAuth consent. Workspace admins can block it tenant-wide.
