Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-sheets": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "google-sheets-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add google-sheets --env GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-value -- npx -y google-sheets-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-sheets": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "google-sheets-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "google-sheets": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "google-sheets-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN secret required env
Google OAuth access token with Sheets scopes.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is Google Sheets safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 –, and the latest version (1.2.1) reached the registry 6 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-sheets-mcp

MCP server for Google Sheets - read, write, and query spreadsheet data.

Use Cases

Data questions: "How many open deals are in the pipeline?" or "What's our total Q3 revenue?" → reads the spreadsheet and answers directly.

Quick expense entry: Snap a photo of a receipt → extracts the details and appends a row to your expense tracker.

Cross-tool status sync: "Check all our vendor Slack channels and update the tracking spreadsheet with their latest updates" → reads Slack, updates the sheet.

Data analysis: "Break down the Salesforce figures by region and compare against our events calendar" → pulls data from multiple sources into a spreadsheet for analysis.

(These are just examples - any workflow that needs spreadsheet data can use this. Use in combination with google-drive-mcp for finding files, deleting, comments, and sharing permissions.)

Setup

1. Create Google OAuth credentials

Go to Google Cloud Console
Create a new project (or use existing)
Enable the Google Sheets 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-sheets-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 Google Sheets API

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