The Google Sheets integration lets Claudio read data, update cells, and append rows to spreadsheets in your Google Drive.

​
Purpose

Use this MCP to:
  • Read data from spreadsheets
  • Update cells and ranges
  • Append rows to existing sheets
  • Generate reports from ClickUp data
  • Track metrics and KPIs

​
Setup

The Google Sheets MCP shares the same server as Google Docs. Follow the Google Docs setup guide to configure authentication.
You only need to set up the Google MCP server once. It provides tools for both Docs and Sheets.

​
Available tools

​
read_spreadsheet

read_spreadsheet(
  spreadsheet_id: "1abc123def456...",
  range: "Sheet1!A1:D10"
)

​
update_spreadsheet

Update cells in a spreadsheet. 
update_spreadsheet(
  spreadsheet_id: "1abc123def456...",
  range: "Sheet1!A1:B2",
  values: [
    ["Header 1", "Header 2"],
    ["Value 1", "Value 2"]
  ]
)

​
append_rows

Append new rows to the end of a sheet. 
append_rows(
  spreadsheet_id: "1abc123def456...",
  range: "Sheet1!A:D",
  values: [
    ["Task 1", "In Progress", "2026-02-28", "Alice"],
    ["Task 2", "Done", "2026-02-27", "Bob"]

​
Best practices

Define named ranges in Google Sheets for commonly accessed data (like MetricsSummary or CurrentSprint). This makes it easier to reference data without remembering cell addresses.
Use the same column headers across reports so Claudio can reliably find and update the right data.
When adding new data, use append_rows instead of update_spreadsheet to avoid accidentally overwriting existing records.
Let Google Sheets handle calculations with formulas (SUM, AVERAGE, etc.) rather than computing values in Claudio. Just write the raw data.

​
Integration with other MCPs

​
ClickUp → Sheets reporting

You: Update the sprint report with this week's completed tasks

Claudio:
1. ClickUp: get_workspace_tasks() for completed tasks
2. Sheets: append_rows() with task details
3. Slack: Share update in #product

​
Granola → Sheets action items

You: Log action items from today's meeting to the tracking sheet

Claudio:
1. Granola: get_meeting() for latest meeting
2. Extract action items
3. Sheets: append_rows() with items
4. ClickUp: Optionally create tasks for action items

​
Troubleshooting

Make sure:
  • The spreadsheet ID is correct (from the URL)
  • You have access to the spreadsheet
  • The spreadsheet hasn’t been deleted or moved to trash
Use valid A1 notation for ranges:
  • Single cell: A1
  • Range: A1:D10
  • Entire column: A:A
  • Specific sheet: Sheet1!A1:D10
If data isn’t appearing:
  • Check that your range is correct
  • Verify the values array format matches the range size
  • Ensure you have edit permissions on the spreadsheet
The MCP needs both Google Sheets API and Google Drive API enabled. Verify both are active in your Google Cloud Console.
