Google Sheets Advanced MCP Server

Google Sheets Advanced MCP Server

An MCP server that gives AI assistants full control over Google Sheets — not just read/write, but charts, pivot tables, formulas, formatting, and analytics.

What Makes This Different

Existing Google Sheets MCP servers only support basic CRUD (read cells, write cells). This server exposes the full Google Sheets API:

• 15 chart types — bar, line, pie, scatter, histogram, waterfall, and more
• Pivot tables — group, aggregate, cross-tabulate
• Conditional formatting — color scales, value-based rules, custom formulas
• Data validation — dropdowns, number constraints, checkboxes
• Server-side analytics — summary stats, trend analysis, duplicate detection
• 30 tools total — 9 free, 21 pro

Installation

npx mcp-google-sheets-advanced

Or install globally:

pnpm add -g mcp-google-sheets-advanced

Quick Start

Claude Desktop

Add 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",

On first run, a browser window opens for Google OAuth authentication.
