The README presents it as an AI assistant gateway for creating, reading, and modifying spreadsheets through Google APIs. ### Project history The GitHub repository was created in March 2025 and published a continuing 0.x release series through 2026, including v0.6.3 in May 2026. The README documents uvx as the recommended user path and also supports local development with uv and Docker/SSE operation. The project is centered on Google Cloud credentials and Sheets/Drive API setup: users create or select a GCP project, enable the Google Sheets and Drive APIs, and choose service account, OAuth, direct credential injection, or Application Default Credentials. ### Adoption history The supplied package facts list Homebrew packaging, and the official README includes PyPI version/download badges. That puts the project in both Python packaging and system package-manager discovery paths. Its adoption story is tied to practical MCP usage: spreadsheets are common business data stores, and this server exposes them as MCP tools for AI clients without each client needing its own Google Sheets integration. ### How it is used Users typically run uvx mcp-google-sheets@latest after setting credentials and a Drive folder ID, then add the command to an MCP client such as Claude Desktop. The README documents service account and OAuth credential files, token storage, and direct base64 credential injection for container environments. The server exposes tools for listing spreadsheets, reading sheet data, updating cells, getting formulas, batch updates, and creating charts. It also documents tool filtering to reduce context usage when only a subset of spreadsheet tools is needed. ### Why package nerds care mcp-google-sheets is package-nerd significant as a good example of a credential-heavy API integration being delivered as a small CLI/server package. Its README captures the packaging tension of MCP servers: easy uvx startup, but careful environment and secret handling. ### Timeline - 2025-03: GitHub repository created. - 2025-05: Early 0.3 and 0.4 releases published. - 2025-12: v0.6.0 published. - 2026-05: v0.6.3 published on GitHub releases. ### Related projects - Related projects include other MCP servers for Google services, official Google Sheets and Drive APIs, and MCP-compatible clients such as Claude Desktop. ### Sources - - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for mcp-google-sheets. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL. ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval. ## Credential files - Unix: credentials.json, token.json, /path/to/service-account-key.json - Windows: C:\path\to\your\service-account-key.json, credentials.json, token.json ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** mcp-google-sheets - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 3 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [MCP tool packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/mcp-tools/) - Mentions MCP or Model Context Protocol. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [python@3.14](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/python-3-14/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [xleak](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/xleak/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, spreadsheets. - [gnumeric](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gnumeric/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, spreadsheets. - [googleworkspace-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/googleworkspace-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: automation, cli, google-drive, productivity. - [sc-im](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/sc-im/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, spreadsheets. - [deck](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/deck/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: automation, cli, productivity. - [dockutil](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dockutil/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: automation, cli, productivity. - [esniper](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/esniper/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: automation, cli, productivity. - [flexget](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/flexget/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: automation, cli, productivity. - [gcalcli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gcalcli/) - Both packages touch the same language runtime or ecosystem.
