Google Contacts FAQs

Question 1

What is the Google Contacts MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

It's a production-ready, serverless Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants like Claude to securely access Google Contacts in real-time. It's built on AWS Lambda and designed for per-user OAuth authentication.

Question 2

How does this tool ensure privacy and data security?

Accepted Answer

It employs a privacy-first design with Zero Contact Data Storage, meaning no contact information is ever persisted. It uses per-user OAuth 2.1 authentication, stores only encrypted tokens with automatic expiration, and operates with read-only access (`contacts.readonly`) for enhanced security.

Question 3

Which AI models or LLMs can use this connector?

Accepted Answer

The server is designed to work with AI agents and LLMs that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP), such as Anthropic's Claude (Web and Desktop versions). It allows these models to securely query Google Contacts data.

Question 4

Does it store my Google Contacts data on its servers?

Accepted Answer

No, absolutely not. The Google Contacts MCP Server is designed for Zero Contact Data Storage. All contact data flows through in real-time from Google Contacts directly to the AI agent and is never stored on the server.

Question 5

What are the typical running costs for this server?

Accepted Answer

Leveraging AWS Lambda's pay-per-use model, costs are very low. For a typical 50-person team, estimated monthly costs range from $3-8, covering Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB usage.
