Google Workspace Access (No Cloud Console!)

Why this skill? Traditional Google API access requires creating a project in Google Cloud Console, enabling APIs, creating OAuth credentials, and downloading client_secret.json. This skill skips ALL of that.

Uses @presto-ai/google-workspace-mcp — just sign in with your Google account and go.

Key Advantage

Traditional Approach	This Skill
Create Google Cloud Project	❌ Not needed
Enable individual APIs	❌ Not needed
Create OAuth credentials	❌ Not needed
Download client_secret.json	❌ Not needed
Configure redirect URIs	❌ Not needed
Just sign in with Google	✅ That's it

Setup (Already Done)

npm install -g @presto-ai/google-workspace-mcp
mcporter config add google-workspace --command "npx" --arg "-y" --arg "@presto-ai/google-workspace-mcp" --scope home

On first use, it opens a browser for Google OAuth. Credentials stored in ~/.config/google-workspace-mcp/
