🧩 MCP Primitives
This server exposes all three MCP primitive types:
<table> <tr> <td align="center" width="33%">
🛠 Tools
50+ executable actions<br/>
Called by the AI on demand.<br/>
Every tool is annotated with<br/>
readOnlyHint / destructiveHint<br/>
so clients can warn before risky actions.
</td> <td align="center" width="33%">
📦 Resources
Read-only data snapshots<br/> Attach live Google data directly<br/> to the AI context window<br/> without calling a tool.<br/> Supports static URIs and templates.
</td> <td align="center" width="33%">
💬 Prompts
Reusable AI templates<br/> Select a prompt in your MCP client<br/> to fetch live data and start<br/> a structured conversation<br/> in one click.

🚀 Quick Start
1 — Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
2 — Set up Google OAuth
Create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID in Google Cloud Console, download the JSON, and note its path.
Full step-by-step guide: docs/AUTH_SETUP.md · docs/ru/AUTH_SETUP.md
3 — Configure the server
cp config.example.yaml config.yaml
# then edit config.yaml — set paths and choose MCP_AUTH_TOKEN
<details> <summary>💡 How to create <code>MCP_AUTH_TOKEN</code></summary>
MCP_AUTH_TOKEN is a secret string you choose. You can think of it as a local activation key for this MCP server, not as a network security layer or authentication mechanism.
- The server only checks that this token is configured before it starts handling tools — this is an extra safety step to avoid accidental runs without explicit setup.
- Invent any random string, e.g.
MySecretToken_2026!or use a password generator. - Recommended length: 16+ characters. Avoid reusing passwords.
- Set it in
config.yaml→mcp_auth_token: "your_token"or as the env varMCP_AUTH_TOKEN.
The token is never sent anywhere — it is only checked locally inside the server process. It does not restrict what your AI agent can do once the server is running. For more details, see docs/SECURITY.md / docs/ru/SECURITY.md.

4 — Connect your IDE
Replace <PROJECT_PATH> with the absolute path to this repository and your_token_here with your token.
<details> <summary><strong>Cursor</strong> — <code>.cursor/mcp.json</code> or <code>~/.cursor/mcp.json</code></summary>
{

}
}
}

}
}
}
</details>
5 — Smoke check
After connecting, call get_gmail_profile() in your AI client.
It should return the authenticated Gmail address if OAuth is configured correctly.
📖 Usage Examples
<details> <summary><strong>Basic operations</strong></summary>
# Verify authentication
Tool: get_gmail_profile
→ Authenticated Gmail address: user@example.com
# Search for files in Drive
Tool: find_files
Arguments: {"query": "name contains 'budget'"}
→ - Budget_2026.xlsx (ID: 1a2b3c...) [spreadsheet]
# Read a Google Sheet
Tool: read_sheet
Arguments: {"spreadsheet_id": "1a2b3c4d5e...", "range_name": "Sheet1!A1:C10"}
→ | Name | Email | Status |
| John | j@corp.io | Active |
# Create a draft email (safe by default — never sends without draft_mode=false)
Tool: send_email
Arguments: {"to": "colleague@example.com", "subject": "Notes", "body_text": "...", "draft_mode": true}
→ EMAIL DRAFT CREATED (ID: r1234...) — saved as draft, not sent.
