What Google Workspace MCP Server (conorbronsdon) does
According to its repository: “Google Workspace tools for Drive, Sheets, Calendar, Docs and Gmail via the gws CLI.”
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard plug between an AI agent and an outside service: once the server is connected, its tools show up in the agent, which decides when to call them.

Topics declared by the repository: claude-code, developer-tools, gmail, google-calendar, google-drive, google-workspace.
Installing and connecting Google Workspace MCP Server (conorbronsdon)
Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:
- npm package (Node.js, usually started with
npx)
It works with any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and most recent agents). You add one entry to the client's MCP configuration: server name, start command or URL, environment variables. Project language: TypeScript. Listed systems: macOS, Windows, Linux.
Security: what to check
Connecting an MCP server means installing software that talks straight to your agent: it runs with your rights and the model trusts its tool descriptions. The risk therefore depends on what it can touch and how far its code can be trusted.
None of the risk signals we track (system access, secrets, missing licence, abandonment) applies to Google Workspace MCP Server (conorbronsdon). That does not replace reading the code.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
Project activity and maintenance
Created on March 8, 2026, the conorbronsdon/gws-mcp-server repository has 11 stars and 10 forks, with 0 open issues. It has more stars than 28% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month. Version published in the registry: 0.4.1 (September 24, 2026).
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
