Give Your AI Assistant Direct Access to Gmail and Calendar

Stop copy-pasting emails and manually checking your calendar. This MCP server connects Claude (or any MCP client) directly to your Google Workspace, turning your AI assistant into a productivity powerhouse that can actually do things with your email and calendar data.

The Problem You Know Too Well

You're constantly context-switching between your AI chat and Gmail/Calendar. Copy email content to get summaries, manually check calendars for scheduling, switch back and forth to draft responses. It's inefficient, and you lose the conversational flow that makes AI assistants valuable in the first place.

What This Changes

With mcp-gsuite, your AI assistant becomes your personal email and calendar manager. It can search your Gmail, read full email threads, draft responses, manage calendar events, and handle multiple Google accounts—all within a single conversation.

Real workflow examples:

• "Show me all unread emails from the engineering team" → AI searches and displays results
• "Draft a response to Sarah's meeting request suggesting Thursday 2pm" → AI creates the draft in Gmail
• "What's my schedule tomorrow and can we fit in a 1-hour sync with the design team?" → AI checks calendar and suggests time slots
• "Find that email thread about the Q4 budget and summarize the key decisions" → AI searches, retrieves, and analyzes

Core Capabilities

Gmail Integration:

• Search with flexible queries (unread, sender, date ranges, attachments)
• Read complete email content and threads
• Create drafts with full formatting, CC/BCC support
• Reply to emails (as drafts or send immediately)
• Bulk retrieve emails and save attachments locally
• Multi-account support for work/personal separation

Calendar Management:

• View events across specified time ranges
• Create events with attendees, locations, descriptions
• Custom timezone and notification handling
• Delete/modify existing events
• Multi-calendar support per account

Multi-Account Architecture: Configure multiple Google accounts (work, personal, team accounts) with custom metadata that helps the AI understand context—like marking your personal account as "Contains Family Calendar."

Perfect For These Scenarios

Executive Assistant Workflows: Your AI can manage your entire email triage process, draft responses in your voice, and coordinate complex scheduling across multiple calendars.

Project Management: "Find all emails about Project X from the last month, create a status summary, and schedule follow-up meetings with stakeholders who haven't responded."

Research and Analysis: "Pull all emails from Q4 containing 'customer feedback' and analyze common themes, then draft a summary report."

Meeting Coordination: "Check when both Alice and Bob are free next week for a 2-hour design review, create the calendar invite, and send them a heads-up email."

Integration is Straightforward

Uses OAuth2 for secure Google API access. Set up your credentials, configure your accounts, and add the server to Claude Desktop. The AI handles authentication flow automatically.

The configuration supports custom paths for credentials and accounts, making it easy to manage multiple environments or share setups across team members.
