## 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.

## Connect to an MCP client
Launch command from the project's README: `uvx mcp-google-sheets@latest`

```shell
claude mcp add mcp-google-sheets -- uvx mcp-google-sheets@latest
