gogcli
Google Workspace in your terminal.
The gogcli MCP server brings Google Workspace APIs—including Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, and more—to AI agents through a Model Context Protocol interface. Built on the `gog` command-line client, it exposes read-only capabilities by default with granular opt-in for write operations and explicit command authorization. Developers can integrate Gmail search, calendar queries, Drive file audits, and document manipulation into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or other MCP-compatible clients with fine-grained safety controls and structured JSON output.
