Hardened Google Workspace MCP

It allows users to safely manage emails, documents, and calendars through natural language without risking unauthorized external communication.

You'll be asked for 2 credentials: GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET, FASTMCP_SERVER_AUTH_GOOGLE_JWT_SIGNING_KEY
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.
// environment variables
To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

41/41 tools missing one or more hints — start_google_auth (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); list_calendars (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_events (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +38 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Tool handlers catch errors

Only 8/41 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (20%)

Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

No access to sensitive paths

Reads sensitive paths: .credentials, credentials, .credentials

Remove reads of sensitive system paths. If you genuinely need them, document why in the README.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 5 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
