title: fgooglesheet-mcp description: fGoogleSheet MCP server installation and usage guide date: 2026-03-26

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for fGoogleSheet — a macOS Google Sheets management application.

This server bridges AI assistants (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, etc.) with fGoogleSheet's REST API, enabling direct Google Sheets operations through natural language.
