A Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector for Google Sheets that allows AI agents to interact with spreadsheets directly.

Setup

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/Jsgordon420365/google-sheets-mcp
cd google-sheets-mcp

2. Install dependencies: npm install

3. Build: npm run build

4. Create OAuth credentials in Google Cloud Platform:

   • Create a new project in Google Cloud Console
   • Enable the Google Sheets API
   • Configure the OAuth consent screen
   • Create OAuth client ID credentials (Desktop application) with an appropriate redirect URI (ex: http://localhost:3000/oauth2callback)
   • Download the credentials and save as gcp-oauth.keys.json in the dist subdirectory

5. Start the MCP server (you'll automatically be prompted to authenticate/re-authenticate your Google account when necessary): npm run start

Usage

Sample config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-sheets-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/users/gordo/google-sheets-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Then you should be able to simply specify your spreadsheetId or ask your agent to create a new one for you.

Multi-LLM Handoff Protocol (Baton Sync)

This server is optimized for the Adam, Ben, and Cindy Protocol, allowing multiple LLMs (Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT) to maintain a synchronized state via a Shift_Log tab.

The Protocol Rules:

1. Check Status: Before starting any task, run get_baton_status to see the latest shift entry and handoff notes.
2. Identify Yourself: When recording an entry, use your agent name (e.g., "Gemini", "Claude", "ChatGPT").
3. Temporal Handshake: Use call_apps_script with the action temporal_handshake to sync timestamps if required by the Apps Script logic.
4. Passing the Baton: When your shift ends, run record_shift_entry with a summary of actionTaken and clear handoffNotes for the next agent.
