SSO

Google Workspace MCP connector

The Google Workspace connector brings your users, groups, licenses, org units, roles, and usage reports into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client through one Elaichi endpoint, with each person working inside their own admin access.

  • How it connects. OAuth or API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

How to connect

Use cases

What teams do with Google Workspace through Elaichi

Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.

  • IT

    Set up a new hire before day one

    Create the Google Workspace account, add the person to the right groups, and confirm they sit in the correct org unit from a single request. No clicking through the admin console screen by screen.

  • IT

    Finish offboarding the same afternoon

    Look up a leaver's account, remove them from every group they belong to, and update or delete the account once HR gives the word.

  • People

    Keep group memberships honest

    Ask who is on the all-hands list or the regional sales group, spot people who moved teams months ago, and fix the membership on the spot.

  • Finance

    Reconcile license spend before renewal

    List assigned Google Workspace licenses alongside active users to find seats nobody is using, then bring a real number to the renewal conversation.

  • Security

    Review admin roles and third-party tokens

    List every role and who holds it, flag super admin assignments that should not exist, and see which outside apps have tokens granted by your users.

  • Operations

    Pull usage reports for the quarterly review

    Gather Google Workspace usage reports by org unit and turn them into a short summary of who is active and where adoption is thin.

Try asking

  • “List all Google Workspace groups with no members.”
  • “Which users were created in the last 14 days?”
  • “Show group members for the finance-team group.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Google Workspace to Claude?

Connect Google Workspace in Elaichi first, either by signing in with your Google admin account through OAuth or by pasting an API key, whichever your organization prefers. Then open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp as the endpoint. There is no OAuth application to register in Google and no client ID or secret to generate. Sign in when Claude asks and you are working with your Google Workspace users and groups.

Does Google Workspace work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Google Workspace is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Google Workspace once and every client sees it, with the same access rules in each.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Google Workspace data?

With Google Workspace connected, an agent can look up a user or a group, create a new account, update someone's details, add or remove people from groups, and delete an account when someone leaves. It can also list licenses, org units, admin roles and who holds them, third-party tokens users have granted, and usage reports, so you can ask questions like who is a super admin or which licenses are unused and get an answer from live records.

Does connecting Google Workspace give the AI full admin access to my organization?

No. Every request to Google Workspace runs as the person who signed in, so an agent can only see and change what that person's own Google admin role allows. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to reading users and groups only, but it can never grant more than the person already has in Google Workspace.

Can my team share one Google Workspace connection?

Yes. One admin connects Google Workspace in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles an API key or signs in to Google on the team's behalf. Each person still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log records exactly who created a user or removed a group member, not a shared account.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Google Workspace?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow listing Google Workspace users and groups while blocking creating, updating, or deleting them. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any other client at all, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.

What happens to a Google Workspace connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Google Workspace through every AI client at once. If they had shared the connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else. Disconnecting Google Workspace in Elaichi removes it from every client in one step, with no need to visit Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor separately.
