Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 28, 2026

Overview

GWS Connector is an open-source MCP server that runs entirely on your local machine. It connects AI coding agents to your Google Workspace accounts (Gmail, Calendar, Drive).

Data collection

GWS Connector does not collect, transmit, or store any data on external servers. There is no telemetry, analytics, or tracking of any kind.

Data stored locally

The following data is stored on your machine only:

OAuth tokens — stored in your OS keychain (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, or GNOME Keyring) with a file-based fallback. Used to authenticate with Google APIs on your behalf.
Account registry — a JSON file containing account labels, email addresses, and OAuth client IDs. No secrets are stored in this file.
Client secrets — stored in your OS keychain, never in plaintext config files.

Google API usage

GWS Connector accesses Google APIs using OAuth 2.0 credentials that you provide. API requests are made directly from your machine to Google's servers. The plugin requests the following scopes:

gmail.modify — read, send, and organize email
calendar — read and create calendar events
drive — search and read Drive files
userinfo.email and userinfo.profile — identify connected accounts

Third-party services

GWS Connector does not integrate with any third-party services beyond Google Workspace APIs. No data is shared with the plugin author, Anthropic, or any other party.

Data deletion

You can remove all stored data at any time by disconnecting your accounts (via /gws:remove-account) or by deleting the state directory at ~/.claude/channels/gws/. OAuth tokens are removed from your OS keychain when accounts are disconnected.

Changes to this policy

Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Since this is an open-source project, all changes are visible in the repository history.
