Set GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET, MCP_TRANSPORT before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add domdomegg-google-sheets-mcp -- npx -y google-sheets-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "domdomegg-google-sheets-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "google-sheets-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
