What is mcp-gsuite

mcp-gsuite is a collection of Google Workspace automation scripts and tools, designed to streamline administrative tasks. It primarily uses gam (Google Apps Manager) as its underlying mechanism. The aim is to provide pre-built solutions for common G Suite/Workspace management challenges, making it easier to automate user provisioning, group management, reporting, and more.

How to use

The core of using this project revolves around leveraging the provided scripts in conjunction with gam. A general usage pattern involves:

  1. Install gam: Follow the official gam installation instructions. Ensure gam is properly authenticated and configured to interact with your Google Workspace domain.
  2. Download/Clone the Repository: Download or clone the mcp-gsuite repository to your local machine.
  3. Configure the scripts (if necessary): Some scripts may require minor adjustments to configuration variables (e.g., organization names, OU paths) to align with your specific Google Workspace environment.
  4. Execute the scripts: Execute the scripts from the command line using gam commands. Consult the documentation within each script and/or the overall project documentation for specific usage instructions.
