An MCP server that gives AI assistants full control over Google Sheets — not just read/write, but charts, pivot tables, formulas, formatting, and analytics.
Existing Google Sheets MCP servers only support basic CRUD (read cells, write cells). This server exposes the full Google Sheets API:
npx mcp-google-sheets-advancedOr install globally:
pnpm add -g mcp-google-sheets-advancedAdd to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"google-sheets-advanced": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-google-sheets-advanced"],
"env": {
"GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
"GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-secret"
}
}
}
}On first run, a browser window opens for Google OAuth authentication.
