What types of Google accounts does this skill support?

This skill only supports Google Workspace accounts. Personal Gmail accounts are not supported.

How do I authenticate with Google Docs for the first time?

Run `python scripts/auth.py login`, which will open a browser for authentication. You can also use `status` and `logout` subcommands to manage your session.

What document operations can I perform with this skill?

You can create new documents, find documents by title, extract full text content, append text to the end, insert text at the beginning, and replace specific text within a document.

Can I use a Google Docs URL instead of the document ID?

Yes, every command that takes a document reference accepts either the raw document ID or the full document URL, with the ID automatically extracted from the URL.

Overview

Google Docs

Provides lightweight Google Docs integration via standalone OAuth scripts with no MCP server: creating, finding, reading, and editing Workspace documents. Use it to create, search, read, or edit Google Docs from local automation scripts on a Google Workspace account without an MCP server.

What it does

Provides lightweight Google Docs integration via standalone OAuth scripts, with no MCP server required - though it requires a Google Workspace account. First-time setup authenticates via browser OAuth (python scripts/auth.py login), with status and logout subcommands. All operations run through scripts/docs.py, auto-authenticating on first use: creating a document (optionally with initial content), finding documents by title, getting a document's text content by ID or full URL, appending text to the end, inserting text at the beginning, and replacing specific text within a document. Document IDs can be passed directly or extracted automatically from a full Google Docs URL.

python scripts/docs.py create "Meeting Notes"

When to use - and when NOT to

Use it to create, search, read, or edit Google Docs from local automation scripts, for text extraction, append or insert operations, or content replacement in Workspace documents, without relying on an MCP server.

Inputs and outputs

Input: a document title (for create or find), a document ID or URL, and text content for append, insert, or replace operations. Output: a created document, extracted text content, or a confirmation that an append, insert, or replace operation completed.

Integrations

Stores OAuth tokens securely in the system keyring - macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Locker, or Linux Secret Service API - under the service name google-docs-skill-oauth, with access tokens automatically refreshed via Google's cloud function when expired.

Who it's for

Developers automating Google Docs workflows from local scripts on a Google Workspace account who want to avoid standing up an MCP server.
