What is the Google Docs MCP SSE Server?

This is a server system specifically designed for Google Docs. It uses the modern architecture pattern (Model-Context-Presentation) and real-time communication technology (SSE), allowing multiple users to collaboratively edit documents simultaneously and instantly see others' modifications.

How to use the Google Docs MCP SSE Server?

You need to configure Google API permissions first and then start the server. The front-end application interacts with the server through the API, and the server will push real-time updates via SSE.

Use cases

Suitable for teams that need real-time collaborative document editing, online collaborative writing in educational institutions, and any application scenarios that require instant synchronization of document modifications.

Main features

Google Docs API integrationSecurely access the Google Docs API via OAuth 2.0 to manage document access permissions

Real-time document synchronizationUse Server-Sent Events technology to push document change notifications for instant updates

MCP architectureA clear architecture with separation of model, context, and presentation layers to ensure system maintainability and scalability

Modification history recordCompletely record all modification histories of the document and support version rollback

Advantages and limitations

Advantages

Real-time collaborative experience: Almost no delay when multiple people edit documents simultaneously

Clear architecture: The MCP model makes the responsibilities of each component distinct

Lightweight communication: SSE is simpler and more efficient than WebSocket

Seamless integration with Google Docs: Make full use of the existing ecosystem

Limitations

Requires a Google account and API configuration, and the initial setup is relatively complex

SSE is one-way communication (from server to client), and other APIs are required for complex interactions

Depends on the rate limit of the Google Docs API

How to use

Environment preparation

Ensure that Node.js (version 14+) and npm are installed, and clone the project repository to the local machine

Configure Google API

Create a project in the Google Cloud Console, enable the Docs API, and download the OAuth credential file

Install dependencies

Run npm install to install all necessary Node modules

Start the server

Use the dev script in the development environment and the start script in the production environment

Usage examples

Online education platformTeachers and students collaboratively write course materials in real-time, and all modifications are instantly visible

Team document collaborationRemote teams jointly write project documents to avoid version conflicts
