📦 Installation

pip install google-keep-notes-mcp
uv add google-keep-notes-mcp

Or run directly without installing (recommended for MCP clients):

uvx google-keep-notes-mcp

Requires Python 3.10+


🔐 Authentication

This package uses a master token obtained from your Google account session. It's a one-time setup.

⚠️ Use a dedicated/dummy Google account for safety.

First-Time Setup

Step 1 — Run the setup command:

google-keep-mcp setup

This will open accounts.google.com/EmbeddedSetup in your browser automatically and guide you step by step.

Step 2 — In the browser:

  1. Sign in with your Google account
  2. Click "I Agree"
  3. Press F12 to open DevTools
  4. Go to Application → Cookies → accounts.google.com
  5. Find the oauth_token row → click it
  6. At the bottom, triple-click the Cookie Value → Ctrl+C to copy

⚡ Do this quickly — the token expires fast. Have your terminal ready before copying.

Step 3 — Back in terminal:

Paste your email and the copied oauth_token value when prompted. Your master token is generated and saved automatically to:

~/.google_keep_mcp/config.env

You won't need to do this again unless your token expires.


⏰ Reminders Setup (Optional)

Reminders use the Google Tasks API. One-time setup required:

  1. Go to console.cloud.google.com → Create a new project
  2. Enable Google Tasks API
  3. Go to OAuth Consent Screen → Add your Google account as a test user
  4. Create OAuth 2.0 Credentials → Desktop App type → Download credentials.json
  5. Place it at: ~/.google_keep_mcp/credentials.json

First time you set a reminder, a browser window opens to authorize. After that it's fully automatic.

  • Native reminder bell — Keep's built-in reminder bell cannot be set via this method; reminders are created in Google Tasks instead (fully functional with notifications)
