Google Docs

A straightforward way to manage Google Docs from Claude without setting up a full MCP server. You can create documents, search by title, read content, and edit text through simple Python commands. The authentication uses system keyring storage (Keychain on macOS, Credential Locker on Windows) and handles token refresh automatically. Note that this requires a Google Workspace account, not a personal Gmail. The command-line interface is clean and supports both document IDs and full URLs, which is handy when you're copying links from your browser. Good fit if you need basic document operations without the overhead of managing a persistent server.
