The Google Admin MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Google Admin account. It provides structured and secure access to your organization's Google Workspace admin console, so your agent can manage users, groups, aliases, and organizational units on your behalf.

• Automated user management: Easily create, update, or delete Google Workspace user accounts, letting your agent handle onboarding, offboarding, and user details with precision.
• Group administration and membership control: Have your agent create groups, list all group members, add or remove users from groups, and fetch group details to streamline team management.
• Email alias assignment: Direct your agent to add email aliases to user accounts, simplifying communication and identity management for your organization.
• Comprehensive user and group directory access: Ask your agent to list all users or groups in your domain, filter them as needed, and retrieve detailed information to support audits or directory syncs.
• Secure and efficient admin operations: Let your agent perform sensitive admin actions like deleting users or managing group settings—always with proper access controls and auditability.
