Install Google Workspace in LM Studio
What you need first
- LM Studio, installed.
- uv, which
gives the
uvxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE,YOUR_GOOGLE_ADMIN_EMAIL.
Steps
- In LM Studio, open the Program tab and choose Install › Edit mcp.json.
- Add this block. If the file already has
mcpServers, add only the entry inside it.
{
"mcpServers": {
"google-workspace-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["google-workspace-admin-mcp==1.0.0"],
"env": { "GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE": "YOUR_GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE", "GOOGLE_ADMIN_EMAIL": "YOUR_GOOGLE_ADMIN_EMAIL" }
}
}
} - Replace
YOUR_GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE,YOUR_GOOGLE_ADMIN_EMAILwith your own values. - Save the file and restart LM Studio.
Check it worked
Ask LM Studio: List the tools of google-workspace-mcp.
If it does not start
- spawn uvx ENOENT
- uv is not on the PATH that LM Studio sees. Install it, or write the
full path of
uvxin the config. - The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong. - Nothing changes after a restart
- The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
