Common questions

Is Google Contacts safe?

It passed 2 of 2 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 3 days ago, and the latest version (1.3.0) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

google-contacts-mcp

MCP server for Google Contacts - list, search, and manage contacts.

Use Cases

Email lookup: "See the latest JIRA ticket that's come in. Can we email Sarah from the security team to get their input?" → finds Sarah's email and drafts the message.

Business card capture: After a networking event, snap photos of business cards → your assistant extracts the details and adds them as contacts with a note about where you met.

Find connections: "Who do I know at Google?" or "I'm visiting London next week - who should I catch up with?" → search your personal network.

Call reminder: "Remind me to call Mike at 3pm" → creates a calendar event with Mike's phone number attached so you can dial straight from the reminder.

Contact updates: You receive an out-of-office saying someone left their company with a new personal email → your assistant updates their contact automatically.

(These are just examples - any workflow that needs contact lookup or management can use this.)

Setup

1. Create Google OAuth credentials

Go to Google Cloud Console
Create a new project (or use existing)
Enable the People API
Go to APIs & Services → OAuth consent screen, set up consent screen
Go to APIs & Services → Credentials → Create Credentials → OAuth client ID
Choose Web application
Add http://localhost:3000/callback to Authorized redirect URIs
Note your Client ID and Client Secret

2. Run the server

GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID='your-client-id' \

GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET='your-client-secret' \ MCP_TRANSPORT=http \ npm start

The server runs on http://localhost:3000 by default. Change with PORT=3001.

3. Add to your MCP client

With the server running, follow the instructions on install-mcp, which generates the right config for your MCP client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, VS Code, and more).

Architecture

This server acts as an OAuth proxy to Google:

graph LR

A[MCP client] <--> B[google-contacts-mcp] <--> C[Google OAuth/API]

Server advertises itself as an OAuth authorization server via /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
/register returns the Google OAuth client credentials
/authorize redirects to Google, encoding the client's callback URL in state
/callback receives the code from Google and forwards to the client's callback
/token proxies token requests to Google, injecting client credentials
/mcp handles MCP requests, using the bearer token to call People API

The server holds no tokens or state - it just proxies OAuth to Google.
