Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

    cd google-mcp
  2. Install dependencies:

    pnpm install
  3. Build the project:

    pnpm run build

MCP Client Integration

Install the server to your preferred MCP clients:

# Install to all MCP clients
pnpm run install-server

# Install to specific clients
pnpm run install-desktop    # Claude Desktop
pnpm run install-cursor     # Cursor IDE
pnpm run install-code       # Claude Code
pnpm run install-mcp        # Local .mcp.json only

Configuration

Environment Variables

Create a .env.local file in the project root with your Google API credentials:

GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY=your_google_maps_api_key
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your_oauth_client_id
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_oauth_client_secret
GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN=your_refresh_token

Google API Setup

  1. Google Maps API: Enable Maps, Places, and Directions APIs in Google Cloud Console
  2. Gmail/Calendar: Set up OAuth 2.0 credentials and obtain refresh tokens
  3. Finance/Flights: Uses Google's public APIs (no additional setup required)

Key Technologies

  • MCP SDK: @modelcontextprotocol/sdk for protocol implementation
  • Schema Validation: Zod for runtime type checking
  • Google APIs: Official Google client libraries
  • TypeScript: Full type safety with ES2022 target
  • Transport: StdioServerTransport for MCP communication

Development Workflow

  1. Make changes to TypeScript files in src/
  2. Build: pnpm run build
  3. Test: pnpm start
  4. Install to clients: pnpm run install-server
  5. Restart MCP clients to load changes

Adding New Tools

  1. Define Zod schema for parameters
  2. Implement handler function
  3. Register tool in src/index.ts using server.tool()
  4. Build and reinstall to test

Architecture

This MCP server follows these design patterns:

  • Modular Design: Each Google service is in its own module
  • Schema Validation: All parameters validated with Zod schemas
  • Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling with meaningful messages
  • Type Safety: Full TypeScript coverage with strict mode
  • Transport Agnostic: Uses MCP's standard transport layer
