Google released a CLI tool called GWS that lets developers control Google Workspace services (Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Docs, Sheets) directly from the terminal. Instead of writing separate scripts for each API, users run simple commands like `gws drive files list`. The CLI reads Google's discovery service at runtime, so it automatically exposes new API endpoints without manual updates. It also includes a built-in MCP server with 100+ predefined agent skills, enabling AI coding agents like Claude Code or Cursor to interact with Workspace APIs. The walkthrough covers installation, OAuth setup via Google Cloud, enabling APIs, and using Claude Code to fetch calendar events and summarize emails through the MCP interface.
