How do I connect Google Contacts to Claude?

Is my Google data secure?

Yes, the MCP uses secure authentication with your Google Workspace account to manage permissions.

Can I create contact groups with this MCP?

Yes, you can use the create_contact_group capability to build and organize labels within your directory.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

Any MCP-compatible client works, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

Do I need to open Google Contacts to update a number?

No, you can use the update_contact capability to change any detail through your AI agent.

Which exact service and endpoints does this utilize?

This integration leverages the highly structured Google People API. It strictly filters and returns core metadata (emails, names, numbers) avoiding unnecessary heavy payloads.

Can it automatically assign new prospects into specific mailing groups?

Certainly. The create_contact capability allows passing a specific Group Identifier (which you can discover using list_contact_groups). The user will instantly appear in the matching mailing segment.

What happens if I try to list a corporate directory with thousands of interconnected contacts?

The integration is protected by aggressive egress control pagination features out-of-the-box. Your AI agent handles paginated loops automatically and queries intelligent searches to restrict context overhead limits naturally.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

One connector, every AI

Google Contacts works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Google Contacts to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
