This page provides an overview of best practices and recommended tools for
working with Large Language Models (LLMs) to develop solutions for
Google Workspace.
When developing on Google Workspace, LLMs can help you in the
following ways:
Generate or troubleshoot code for calling Google Workspace APIs.
Build a solution based on the latest Google Workspace developer
documentation.
Access Google Workspace resources from the command line or your
integrated development environment (IDE).
Use a Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Google Workspace
AModel Context Protocol (MCP)is a standardized open protocol that provides context to LLMs and AI agents so that
they can return better quality information in multi-turn conversations.
Google Workspace has an MCP server that provides a schema for an LLM
to access and search developer documentation. You can use this server when
you're building or using AI agents to do any of the following:
Retrieve up-to-date information about Google Workspace APIs and services.
