# google_workspace_mcp - Doramagic AI Context Pack

> Purpose: pre-work context for the user's host AI. This pack does not prove that the project has been installed, run, or validated.

## Project

- canonical_name: `taylorwilsdon/google_workspace_mcp`
- capability: Control Gmail, Google Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Chat, Forms, Tasks, Search & Drive with AI - Comprehensive Google Workspace / G Suite MCP Server & CLI Tool
- expected_user_outcome: Control Gmail, Google Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Chat, Forms, Tasks, Search & Drive with AI - Comprehensive Google Workspace / G Suite MCP Server & CLI Tool

## Operating Boundaries

- Do not claim that the project has been installed, run, called through an API, or used on local files unless separate evidence proves it.
- Project facts must come from repo evidence, Claim Graph, or explicit source references.
- When a capability is not verified, mark it as unverified instead of completing it as fact.
- publish_status: `publishable`
- blocking_gaps: none

## Doramagic Context Augmentation

The following sections strengthen the repository context for a host AI. Human Manual data is a reading route, and pitfall notes become operating constraints.

## Human Manual Outline

Usage rule: this is only a reading route and salience signal, not factual authority. Concrete claims must still return to repo evidence or Claim Graph.

Host AI hard rules:
- Do not treat page titles, section order, summaries, or importance values as factual project evidence.
- When explaining the Human Manual outline, state that it is only a reading route or salience signal.
- Capability, installation, compatibility, runtime state, and risk claims must cite repo evidence, source paths, or Claim Graph.

- **Overview & System Architecture**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: main.py, fastmcp_server.py, core/server.py, core/__init__.py, core/tool_registry.py
- **Authentication, OAuth 2.1, Security & Credential Storage**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: auth/__init__.py, auth/google_auth.py, auth/auth_info_middleware.py, auth/mcp_session_middleware.py, auth/oauth21_session_store.py
- **Service Modules, Tool Tiers & Granular Permissions**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: gmail/gmail_tools.py, gmail/gmail_helpers.py, gdrive/drive_tools.py, gdrive/drive_helpers.py, gcalendar/calendar_tools.py
- **Deployment, CLI, Storage Backends & Operations**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, .dockerignore, helm-chart/workspace-mcp/Chart.yaml, helm-chart/workspace-mcp/values.yaml

## Repo Inspection Evidence

- repo_clone_verified: true
- repo_inspection_verified: true
- repo_commit: `c596923c75a0e6a0066a5463486cfd5e61c2972b`
- inspected_files: `uv.lock`, `Dockerfile`, `pyproject.toml`, `README.md`, `docker-compose.yml`

Host AI hard rules:
- Without repo_clone_verified=true, do not claim that the source code has been read.
- Without repo_inspection_verified=true, do not write README, docs, or package-file conclusions as facts.
- Without quick_start_verified=true, do not claim that the Quick Start path has run successfully.

## Doramagic Pitfall Constraints

These rules come from Doramagic discovery, validation, or compilation findings. The host AI must treat them as operating constraints, not background notes.

### Constraint 1: Security or permission risk requires verification

- Trigger: Project evidence flags a security or permission risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow.
- Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment.
- Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user.
