   cd google-mcp
   

2. Install dependencies:

   pnpm install
   

3. Build the project:

   pnpm run build
   

MCP Client Integration

Install the server to your preferred MCP clients:

# Install to all MCP clients
pnpm run install-server

# Install to specific clients
pnpm run install-desktop    # Claude Desktop
pnpm run install-cursor     # Cursor IDE
pnpm run install-code       # Claude Code
pnpm run install-mcp        # Local .mcp.json only

Configuration

Environment Variables

Create a .env.local file in the project root with your Google API credentials:

GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY=your_google_maps_api_key
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your_oauth_client_id
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_oauth_client_secret
GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN=your_refresh_token

Google API Setup

1. Google Maps API: Enable Maps, Places, and Directions APIs in Google Cloud Console
2. Gmail/Calendar: Set up OAuth 2.0 credentials and obtain refresh tokens
3. Finance/Flights: Uses Google's public APIs (no additional setup required)

Key Technologies

• MCP SDK: @modelcontextprotocol/sdk for protocol implementation
• Schema Validation: Zod for runtime type checking
• Google APIs: Official Google client libraries
• TypeScript: Full type safety with ES2022 target
• Transport: StdioServerTransport for MCP communication

Development Workflow

1. Make changes to TypeScript files in src/
2. Build: pnpm run build
3. Test: pnpm start
4. Install to clients: pnpm run install-server
5. Restart MCP clients to load changes

Adding New Tools

1. Define Zod schema for parameters
2. Implement handler function
3. Register tool in src/index.ts using server.tool()
4. Build and reinstall to test

Architecture

This MCP server follows these design patterns:

• Modular Design: Each Google service is in its own module
• Schema Validation: All parameters validated with Zod schemas
• Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling with meaningful messages
• Type Safety: Full TypeScript coverage with strict mode
• Transport Agnostic: Uses MCP's standard transport layer
