02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

repo age created 2026-07-12 - young repo, little track record yet

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package gdocs-comments-mcp - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.stanislawherjan1 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Gdocs Comments MCP can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

An agent gets 2 documented tools across create & write, check, including add_comment, check_connection.

The 2 tools it gives your agent

Extracted from the project's README - what gdocs-comments-mcp lets an agent do.

add_comment
check_connection: - Probes the Google session; returns { connected, mode }. If connected: false, run npx gdocs-comments-mcp login again.

Limitations (from the README)

- UI automation is inherently less stable than an API. If Google reworks the editor, this can break until updated. The verified flag tells you whether the comment was actually observed after posting; contributions reporting UI changes are very welcome. - The logged-in account needs comment access to the target doc. - find_text must be a single-line fragment (the find bar is one line) and must match the document text
