Google Docs MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server for Google Docs with full tab support — something most existing servers get wrong or skip entirely.

Uses Google service accounts with domain-wide delegation, so it works in Workspace orgs without OAuth consent screens.

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.gigabrain-observer/google-docs-mcp-server -->

What it does

All tab-targeting tools accept tabid or tabtitle (case-insensitive). The batch_update tool auto-injects tabId into requests so you don't have to.

Why this exists

Google Docs has supported tabs since late 2024, but most MCP servers either:

  • Ignore tabs entirely (only read the first tab)
  • Don't use includeTabsContent=True, so tab content is invisible
  • Don't handle nested tabs

This server handles all of that correctly and converts content to markdown with proper heading structure.

Install

pip install google-docs-mcp-server

Or run directly with uv:

uvx google-docs-mcp-server

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.11+
  • A Google Cloud service account with domain-wide delegation

Setup

1. Create a GCP service account

  1. Go to Google Cloud Console and create (or select) a project
  2. Enable the Google Docs API and Google Drive API
  3. Create a service account under IAM & Admin > Service Accounts
  4. Create a JSON key and download it

2. Enable domain-wide delegation

  1. In GCP, on the service account details page, enable Domain-wide Delegation and note the Client ID
  2. In Google Workspace Admin > Security > API Controls > Domain-wide Delegation
  3. Add the Client ID with these scopes:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/documents
   https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly

3. Configure your MCP client

Add to your MCP config (e.g. ~/.claude/mcp.json or .mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-docs": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["google-docs-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SERVICE_ACCOUNT_PATH": "/path/to/your-service-account-key.json",
        "SUBJECT_EMAIL": "you@yourdomain.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

SUBJECT_EMAIL is the Workspace user the service account impersonates.
