Introduction

This project provides a Google Chat integration for MCP (Model Control Protocol) servers written by Python with FastMCP. It allows you to access and interact with Google Chat spaces and messages through MCP tools.

Structure

The project consists of two main components:

1. MCP Server with Google Chat Tools: Provides tools for interacting with Google Chat through the Model Control Protocol.
- Written by FastMCP
- server.py: Main MCP server implementation with Google Chat tools
- google_chat.py: Google Chat API integration and authentication handling

2. Authentication Server: Standalone component for Google account authentication
- Written by FastAPI
- Handles OAuth2 flow with Google
- Stores and manages access tokens
- Can be run independently or as part of the MCP server
- server_auth.py: Authentication server implementation

The authentication flow allows you to obtain and refresh Google API tokens, which are then used by the MCP tools to access Google Chat data. (Your spaces and messages)

Features

- OAuth2 authentication with Google Chat API
- List available Google Chat spaces
- Retrieve messages from specific spaces with date filtering
- Local authentication server for easy setup

Requirements

- Python 3.13+
- Google Cloud project with the following APIs enabled:
- Google Chat API
- People API (for user display names)
- OAuth2 credentials from Google Cloud Console
