HuntsDesk/ve-gws

Most Google Workspace MCPs let you read. This one lets you write — a Python fork of taylorwilsdon/google_workspace_mcp with **28 additional authoring tools** on top (deeper Slides, markdown-to-Docs, smart chips, Sheets data validation, recursive Drive copy, revisions). See Why VE-GWS (vs. upstream) below.

Google Workspace MCP Server
*Full natural language control over Google Calendar, Drive, Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Tasks, Contacts, and Chat through all MCP clients, AI assistants and developer tools. Includes a full featured CLI for use with tools like Claude Code and Codex!*
**The most feature-complete Google Workspace MCP server**, with Remote OAuth2.1 multi-user support and 1-click Claude installation. With native OAuth 2.1, stateless mode and external auth server support, it's the only Workspace MCP you can host for your whole organization centrally & securely!
Support for all free Google accounts (Gmail, Docs, Drive etc) & Google Workspace plans (Starter, Standard, Plus, Enterprise, Non Profit) with expanded app options like Chat & Spaces. Interested in a private, managed cloud instance? That can be arranged.
Why VE-GWS (vs. upstream)
HuntsDesk/ve-gws is a fork of taylorwilsdon/google_workspace_mcp that adds **28 tools** in the gaps upstream doesn't cover — mostly around authoring workflows (building presentations, rendering formatted docs, managing structured sheets).
| Area | Additions |
|------|-----------|
| **Slides** | Create shapes + text boxes · set slide backgrounds · reorder slides · duplicate slides · read/write speaker notes · style shapes + text + paragraphs · delete elements |
| **Docs** | Insert native markdown (rendered, not as a code block) · insert person + file smart chips · read existing smart chips · find-and-replace · apply_continuous_numbering (convert plain-text "1. 2. 3." into a real numbered list that continues across intervening prompts and sub-bullets — idempotent) |
| **Sheets** | Data validation rules · named ranges · range protection · sheet tab management (add/rename/delete/reorder) |
| **Drive** | Recursive folder copy · list revision history · restore prior revisions |
Some feature ideas ported from blakesplay/apollo, which was itself based on piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp. See the **Available Tools** tables below — additions are tagged *Extended* or *Complete*.
**Quality**: 822 tests pass (803 upstream + 19 new). Upstream commits from Taylor's repo are merged in periodically — see Pulling Upstream Changes.
**ve-* family**: Companion to HuntsDesk/ve-kit (Vibe Coding Framework & Persistent Memory for Claude Code — task board, process gates, Docker autonomous worker). VE-GWS is the Google Workspace MCP piece of that toolchain — install standalone or alongside. See the intro at the top of this README for the community invite.
