About Google Sheets MCP (mcp-google-sheets)
mcp-google-sheets is a Python MCP server that bridges MCP clients such as Claude Desktop to the Google Sheets and Drive APIs, with tools to list, create and modify spreadsheets and sheets and to read and update cells. Tool filtering reduces context usage, and it authenticates with a service account, OAuth or injected credentials.
Google Sheets MCP (mcp-google-sheets) is listed in this index written primarily in Python, with 1.0k stars on GitHub. Its latest recorded repository push was in May 2026; that is not an ASE editorial review date.
Before connecting: access and data
This record's specific permissions have not been reviewed by ASE. Read the publisher's documentation before copying setup or connecting.
- List the accounts, files and services the enabled tools can read, change or execute. Check your actual credentials and discovered tools.
- Use narrowly scoped credentials and read-only mode where supported. Review proposed writes before approving them; a generated configuration does not apply these limits for you.
- Local launch is not local-only data processing. External services receive requests, and your client may pass tool results to its model provider. Check both destinations before sharing private data.
- Keep keys and browser session files out of shared config, repositories and screenshots. Know how to disconnect the server and separately revoke its credentials or account sessions.
