Does this skill require a Google Workspace account?

Yes, this skill requires a Google Workspace account; personal Gmail accounts (@gmail.com) are currently not supported.

Do I need to set up a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server?

No, this is a standalone skill with its own OAuth flow, making it a faster alternative to configuring a full Google Workspace MCP server.

Can I edit or write data to Google Sheets with this skill?

No, this skill provides read-only access to ensure data safety and maintain a lightweight implementation.

How is my authentication data stored?

Tokens are stored securely using your operating system's native keyring, such as macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Locker, or Linux Secret Service API.

Productivity & Workflow

Enables seamless, read-only access to Google Sheets data for analysis, extraction, and reporting directly within Claude Code.

About

This skill provides a lightweight integration for Claude Code to interact with Google Sheets without requiring a full MCP server. It allows users to search for spreadsheets, retrieve content in multiple formats (CSV, JSON, Plain Text), and fetch specific A1 notation ranges. It is ideal for developers and data analysts who need to pull live spreadsheet data into their coding environment for context, documentation, or data processing tasks, while maintaining security through standalone OAuth authentication and system keyring token storage.

Key Features

Retrieve specific cell ranges using standard A1 notation
37 GitHub stars
Fetch spreadsheet data in Plain Text, CSV, or JSON formats
Search for spreadsheets by title or query with limit controls
Standalone OAuth authentication with secure system keyring storage

Use Cases

Referencing external spreadsheet documentation or roadmaps during development
Importing configuration or data tables into a codebase for analysis
Automating data extraction from shared Google Workspace sheets for local processing
