Quick Reference

Shared Authentication Patterns

All Google Workspace APIs use the same authentication mechanisms. Choose based on your use case.

Option 1: OAuth 2.0 (User Context)

Best for: Acting on behalf of a user, accessing user-specific data.

// Authorization URL
const authUrl = new URL('https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth')
authUrl.searchParams.set('client_id', env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID)
authUrl.searchParams.set('redirect_uri', `${env.BASE_URL}/callback`)
authUrl.searchParams.set('response_type', 'code')
authUrl.searchParams.set('scope', SCOPES.join(' '))
authUrl.searchParams.set('access_type', 'offline')  // For refresh tokens
authUrl.searchParams.set('prompt', 'consent')       // Force consent for refresh token

// Token exchange
async function exchangeCode(code: string): Promise<TokenResponse> {
  const response = await fetch('https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
    body: new URLSearchParams({
      code,
      client_id: env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
      client_secret: env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
      redirect_uri: `${env.BASE_URL}/callback`,
      grant_type: 'authorization_code',
    }),
  })
  return response.json()
}

// Refresh token
async function refreshToken(refresh_token: string): Promise<TokenResponse> {
  const response = await fetch('https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
    body: new URLSearchParams({
      refresh_token,
      client_id: env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
      client_secret: env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
      grant_type: 'refresh_token',
    }),
  })
  return response.json()
}

Critical:

• Always request access_type=offline for refresh tokens
• Use prompt=consent to ensure refresh token is returned
• Store refresh tokens securely (Cloudflare KV or D1)
• Access tokens expire in ~1 hour

Option 2: Service Account (Server-to-Server)

Best for: Backend automation, no user interaction, domain-wide delegation.

import { SignJWT } from 'jose'

async function getServiceAccountToken(
  serviceAccount: ServiceAccountKey,
  scopes: string[]
): Promise<string> {
  const now = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000)

  // Create JWT
  const jwt = await new SignJWT({
    iss: serviceAccount.client_email,
    scope: scopes.join(' '),
    aud: 'https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token',
    iat: now,
    exp: now + 3600,
  })
    .setProtectedHeader({ alg: 'RS256', typ: 'JWT' })
    .sign(await importPKCS8(serviceAccount.private_key, 'RS256'))

  // Exchange JWT for access token
  const response = await fetch('https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
    body: new URLSearchParams({
      grant_type: 'urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer',
      assertion: jwt,
    }),
  })

  const data = await response.json()
  return data.access_token
}

Domain-Wide Delegation (impersonate users):

const jwt = await new SignJWT({
  iss: serviceAccount.client_email,
  sub: 'user@domain.com',  // User to impersonate
  scope: scopes.join(' '),
  aud: 'https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token',
  iat: now,
  exp: now + 3600,
})

Setup Required:

1. Create service account in Google Cloud Console
2. Download JSON key file
3. Enable domain-wide delegation in Admin Console (if impersonating)
4. Store key as Cloudflare secret (JSON stringified)

Common Rate Limits

All Google Workspace APIs enforce quotas. These are approximate - check each API's specific limits.

Per-User Limits (OAuth)

Per-Project Limits

Handling Rate Limits

async function withRetry<T>(
  fn: () => Promise<T>,
  maxRetries = 5
): Promise<T> {
  for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) {
    try {
      return await fn()
    } catch (error: any) {
      const status = error.status || error.code

      if (status === 429 || status === 503) {
        // Rate limited or service unavailable
        const retryAfter = error.headers?.get('Retry-After') || Math.pow(2, i)
        await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, retryAfter * 1000))
        continue
      }

      if (status === 403 && error.message?.includes('rateLimitExceeded')) {
        // Quota exceeded - exponential backoff
        await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, Math.pow(2, i) * 1000))
        continue
      }

      throw error
    }
  }
  throw new Error('Max retries exceeded')
}

Batch Requests

Most Google APIs support batching multiple requests into one HTTP call.

async function batchRequest(
  accessToken: string,
  requests: BatchRequestItem[]
): Promise<BatchResponse[]> {
  const boundary = 'batch_boundary'

  let body = ''
  requests.forEach((req, i) => {
    body += `--${boundary}\r\n`
    body += 'Content-Type: application/http\r\n'
    body += `Content-ID: <item${i}>\r\n\r\n`
    body += `${req.method} ${req.path} HTTP/1.1\r\n`
    body += 'Content-Type: application/json\r\n\r\n'
    if (req.body) body += JSON.stringify(req.body)
    body += '\r\n'
  })
  body += `--${boundary}--`

  const response = await fetch('https://www.googleapis.com/batch/v1', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
      'Content-Type': `multipart/mixed; boundary=${boundary}`,
    },
    body,
  })

  // Parse multipart response...
  return parseBatchResponse(await response.text())
}

Limits:

• Max 100 requests per batch (most APIs)
• Max 1000 requests per batch (some APIs like Drive)
• Each request in batch counts toward quota

Cloudflare Workers Configuration

// wrangler.jsonc
{
  "name": "google-workspace-mcp",
  "main": "src/index.ts",
  "compatibility_date": "2026-01-03",
  "compatibility_flags": ["nodejs_compat"],

  // Store OAuth tokens
  "kv_namespaces": [
    { "binding": "TOKENS", "id": "xxx" }
  ],

  // Or use D1 for structured storage
  "d1_databases": [
    { "binding": "DB", "database_name": "workspace-mcp", "database_id": "xxx" }
  ]
}

Secrets to set:

echo "your-client-id" | npx wrangler secret put GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID
echo "your-client-secret" | npx wrangler secret put GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET
# For service accounts:
cat service-account.json | npx wrangler secret put GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT

Common Errors

Error: "invalid_grant" on Token Refresh

Cause: Refresh token revoked or expired (6 months of inactivity) Fix: Re-authenticate user, request new refresh token

Error: "access_denied" on OAuth

Cause: App not verified, or user not in test users list Fix: Add user to OAuth consent screen test users, or complete app verification

Error: "insufficientPermissions" (403)

Cause: Missing required scope Fix: Check scopes in authorization URL, re-authenticate with correct scopes

Error: "rateLimitExceeded" (403)

Cause: Quota exceeded Fix: Implement exponential backoff, reduce request frequency, request quota increase

Error: "notFound" (404) on Known Resource

Cause: Using wrong API version, or resource in trash Fix: Check API version in URL, check trash for deleted items
