Editorial verdict
#6 overall. Best broad operating skill for teams living in Google Workspace. Breadth is real (100+ tools, 12+ services), but low npm adoption (604/week), community-only status, and existential threat from Google's own CLI weigh against it.

Public evidence
Analysis of why Google removed MCP from their CLI. For broad API surfaces, CLI 'order from the kitchen' approach beats MCP 'spread entire menu' approach.
Independent MCP directory ranks this as the #1 Google Workspace MCP server. Listed in the official Anthropic modelcontextprotocol servers repo.
Covers Google's official Workspace CLI release with built-in MCP server, providing competition/validation for the Taylor Wilsdon community server.
How does this compare?
See side-by-side metrics against other skills in the same category.
Where it wins
Broadest single-server coverage: 12+ Google services (Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Tasks, Contacts, Chat, Apps Script, Custom Search)
Active development: 30 contributors, ~26 commits/week, v1.14.3
Tool tiers (Core/Extended/Complete) and read-only mode show architectural maturity
Where to be skeptical
Community-built rather than Google-official
604 npm weekly downloads — 79x lower than Notion MCP, suggesting limited real-world adoption despite stars
Google's own Workspace CLI removed MCP mode 2 days after launch — signals instability in the MCP approach for this surface
Google Cloud announced separate official MCP support that may supersede this community server

<details> <summary>◆ <b>But why?</b></summary>This README was written with AI assistance, and here's why that matters
</details>As a solo dev building open source tools, comprehensive documentation often wouldn't happen without AI help. Using agentic dev tools like Roo & Claude Code that understand the entire codebase, AI doesn't just regurgitate generic content - it extracts real implementation details and creates accurate, specific documentation.
In this case, Sonnet 4 took a pass & a human (me) verified them 2/16/26.
