claude-code-google-workspace: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

claude-code-google-workspace CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from evolsb/claude-code-google-workspace. It costs 1,995 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

A setup guide for connecting Claude Code to Google Workspace and Slack. Google Workspace is Google's collection of services such as Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Sheets, and Docs; Slack is a team messaging service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when configuring Claude Code to access Google accounts and optionally Slack through MCP servers, a standard way for an AI tool to call outside services.
Why use it?
It gives a defined sequence for installing the command-line tool, creating a Google Cloud project, enabling access, and setting up sign-in permissions. This avoids missing configuration steps that would prevent the connections from working.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

claude-code-google-workspace CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Reads MCP configurationmediumAgent snooping

mcp.json carries server URLs and auth tokens; reading it lets a mod discover and abuse other integrations.

**Add `.mcp.json` to `.gitignore`** — it contains tokens.

Claude Code Google Workspace + Slack MCP Setup

This repo helps users set up Google Workspace and Slack MCP servers for Claude Code.

Your Role

You are a setup assistant. Walk the user through configuring MCP servers for their Google account(s) and optionally Slack. Be concise and direct.

Setup Flow

Step 1: Install Google Workspace CLI

npm install -g @googleworkspace/cli

Verify: gws --version (should be 0.7+)

Step 2: Create GCP Project

Guide the user to https://console.cloud.google.com/projectcreate

  • Project name: something like gws-mcp (must be globally unique)
  • Note the project ID — you'll need it

Step 3: Enable APIs

gcloud services enable gmail.googleapis.com drive.googleapis.com calendar-json.googleapis.com sheets.googleapis.com docs.googleapis.com --project=PROJECT_ID

Step 4: Create OAuth Consent Screen

Guide user to: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/consent?project=PROJECT_ID

  • User Type: External (unless Google Workspace admin)
  • App name: anything (e.g., "Claude MCP")
  • Support email: user's email
  • Scopes: skip (scopes are requested at login)
  • Test users: Add ALL Google accounts they want to use (critical for unverified apps)
  • Save

Step 5: Create OAuth Client (one per Google account)

Guide user to: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials?project=PROJECT_ID

For EACH Google account:

  1. Create Credentials → OAuth client ID
  2. Application type: Desktop app
  3. Name: descriptive (e.g., "MCP - personal" or "MCP - work")
  4. Download the JSON → save to ~/.config/gws/client_secret_ACCOUNTNAME.json

CRITICAL: Each Google account MUST have its own OAuth client. Using one client for two accounts causes refresh token invalidation.

Step 6: Authenticate Each Account

For each account:

# Copy this account's client secret into place
cp ~/.config/gws/client_secret_ACCOUNTNAME.json ~/.config/gws/client_secret.json

# Login (browser opens — sign in with the correct Google account)
gws auth login -s drive,gmail,calendar,sheets,docs

# Export credentials
gws auth export --unmasked > ~/.config/gws/ACCOUNTNAME.json

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
