You can run the server using Docker. Here's how to set it up:

  1. Build the Docker image:
docker build -t google-chat-mcp-server .
  1. Run the Docker container with the necessary environment variables:
docker run -e GOOGLE_CHAT_SPACE_ID=your_space_id \
          -e GOOGLE_CHAT_API_KEY=your_api_key \
          -e GOOGLE_CHAT_TOKEN=your_token \
          google-chat-mcp-server

Usage Example

To post a message to Google Chat, send the following JSON request:

{
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "post_text_message",
    "arguments": {
      "space_id": "your_space_id",
      "key": "your_api_key",
      "token": "your_token",
