⚡ Quick Installation Instructions

What is GoogleUnlimited?

GoogleUnlimited provides AI assistants with access to Google Workspace services through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It supports 90+ tools across 9 Google services, enabling seamless integration between AI workflows and Google Workspace applications with revolutionary performance improvements.

🛠️ Installation Methods

Method 1: Quick Install via uvx (Recommended)

The fastest way to get started - install directly from PyPI:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-workspace-unlimited": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["google-workspace-unlimited"],
      "disabled": false,
      "timeout": 300
    }
  }
}

⚡ That's it! The server runs in stdio mode by default, perfect for MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Roo, etc.

Method 2: Clone and Development Setup

For development or customization:

1. Clone and setup:

   git clone https://github.com/dipseth/google_workspace_fastmcp2.git
   cd google_workspace_fastmcp2
   uv sync
   

2. Configure Google OAuth:

   a. Go to Google Cloud Console

   b. Create a new project (or select existing)

   c. Enable the APIs you need: Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, Forms, Chat, Photos

   d. Go to APIs & Services > Credentials > Create Credentials > OAuth client ID

   e. Select Web application as the application type

   f. Under Authorized redirect URIs, add:

   http://localhost:8002/oauth2callback
   

   g. Click Create and copy your Client ID and Client Secret

3. Setup environment:

   cp .env.example .env
   

   Edit .env with your credentials:

   # Your OAuth credentials from Google Cloud Console
   GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
   GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
   
   # Must match EXACTLY what you set in Google Cloud Console
   OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:8002/oauth2callback
   

   Alternative: Instead of GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET, you can download the JSON file from Google and set GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE=credentials.json

4. Start the server:

   uv run python server.py

🔧 Core Middleware Components

• 🏷️ TagBasedResourceMiddleware: Intelligent resource discovery using URI patterns (service://gmail/messages, user://current/email)
• 🧠 QdrantUnifiedMiddleware: AI-powered semantic search across all tool responses with vector embeddings
• 🎨 TemplateMiddleware: Advanced Jinja2 template system for beautiful, structured output formatting

✨ Architecture Benefits

• 🔄 Unified Resource Access: URI-based access to service data without API calls
• 🧠 Semantic Intelligence: Natural language search across all stored responses
• 🎨 Visual Excellence: Consistent, beautiful output formatting for optimal AI consumption
• 💰 Token Efficiency: Template macros reduce token usage by 60-80% through structured data rendering
• ⚡ Performance: 30x faster than traditional approaches through intelligent caching

📚 Middleware Documentation Resources:

• 📖 Middleware Architecture Guide - Complete middleware system documentation and implementation details
• 🏷️ TagBasedResourceMiddleware - URI pattern resource discovery and management
• 🧠 QdrantUnifiedMiddleware - AI-powered semantic search and vector embeddings
• 🎨 TemplateMiddleware - Advanced Jinja2 template system for output formatting
• 🔧 SessionToolFilteringMiddleware - Per-session tool enable/disable management

🚀 Minimal Tools Startup

By default, GoogleUnlimited starts with only 5 protected tools enabled for optimal performance and security. This allows clients to enable only the tools they need.

Protected Tools (Always Available):

• manage_tools - Enable/disable tools globally or per-session
• manage_tools_by_analytics - Analytics-based tool management
• health_check - Server health and configuration status
• start_google_auth - Initiate OAuth authentication
• check_drive_auth - Verify authentication status

Configuration:

# Default: Start with minimal tools (only 5 protected tools)
MINIMAL_TOOLS_STARTUP=true

# Optional: Pre-enable specific services at startup
MINIMAL_STARTUP_SERVICES=drive,gmail,calendar

# Disable minimal startup (enable all 90+ tools immediately)
MINIMAL_TOOLS_STARTUP=false

Enabling Tools at Runtime:

# Enable all tools globally
manage_tools(action="enable_all")

# Enable specific tools
manage_tools(action="enable", tool_names=["search_drive_files", "list_gmail_labels"])

# List all registered tools (shows enabled/disabled status)
manage_tools(action="list")

🔧 Session-Scoped Tool Management

GoogleUnlimited supports per-session tool enable/disable functionality, allowing different MCP clients to have different tool availability without affecting other connected clients.

Key Features:

• Session Isolation: Disable tools for one client session without affecting others
• Non-Invasive: Session-scoped operations never modify the global tool registry
• Protected Tools: Core management tools (manage_tools, health_check, etc.) always remain available
• Middleware-Based: Uses SessionToolFilteringMiddleware for protocol-level filtering

Usage Examples:

# Disable tools for this session only (other clients unaffected)
manage_tools(action="disable", tool_names=["send_gmail_message"], scope="session")

# Disable all except specific tools for this session
manage_tools(action="disable_all_except", tool_names=["search_drive_files", "list_events"], scope="session")

# Re-enable all tools for this session
manage_tools(action="enable_all", scope="session")

# Global operations (original behavior, affects all clients)
manage_tools(action="disable", tool_names=["send_gmail_message"], scope="global")

Response Structure:

{
  "success": true,
  "action": "disable_all_except",
  "scope": "session",
  "enabledCount": 94,
  "disabledCount": 0,
  "toolsAffected": ["tool1", "tool2", "..."],
  "sessionState": {
    "sessionId": "f725be09...",
    "sessionAvailable": true,
    "sessionDisabledTools": ["tool1", "tool2"],
    "sessionDisabledCount": 89
  },
  "message": "Kept 5 tools, disabled 89 tools for this session"
}

🔗 URL-Based Service Filtering (HTTP Transport)

When using HTTP/SSE transport, you can filter tools by service directly via URL query parameters - no code required:

# Enable only Gmail tools
http://localhost:8002/mcp?service=gmail

# Enable Gmail + Drive + Calendar
http://localhost:8002/mcp?service=gmail,drive,calendar

# Resume a previous session
http://localhost:8002/mcp?uuid=your-session-id

# Resume session with specific services
http://localhost:8002/mcp?uuid=abc123&service=gmail,drive

# Disable minimal startup (enable all tools)
http://localhost:8002/mcp?minimal=false

Available URL Parameters:

Parameter	Example	Description
service or services	?service=gmail,drive	Comma-separated list of services to enable
uuid	?uuid=abc123	Resume a previous session by ID
minimal	?minimal=false	Override minimal startup mode

Available Services: gmail, drive, calendar, docs, sheets, slides, photos, chat, forms, people

uv run pytest tests/client/ -v

# 📧 Test specific service
uv run pytest tests/client/ -k "gmail" -v

# 🔐 Authentication required tests
uv run pytest tests/client/ -m "auth_required" -v

🔬 Real Resource ID Integration

The testing framework fetches real IDs from service resources for realistic testing:

# Available fixtures for real resource testing
real_gmail_message_id      # From service://gmail/messages
real_drive_document_id     # From service://drive/items
real_calendar_event_id     # From service://calendar/events
real_photos_album_id       # From service://photos/albums
real_forms_form_id         # From service://forms/forms
