Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Google Contacts

Ask your AI for someone's phone number, to add a new contact from an email signature, or to group your customers under one label. It searches your contacts and Other contacts, reads full details, creates and updates contacts and manages labels. Your address book stays current without typing it in by hand.

Connect Google Contacts free

Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.

Try asking

“What is Anna Berg's phone number?”
The AI searches your contacts by name and returns her phone numbers and email addresses.
“Add Peter Holm from Acme, [email protected], +45 12 34 56 78.”
It creates the contact with name, company, email and phone number.
“Anna has a new mobile number. Update it.”
It reads the contact, then replaces the phone numbers with the new one.

Set up in three steps

1
Pick the app
Create a free PipMCP account and choose Google Contacts from the app list.
2
Paste your key
Paste the OAuth client ID and client secret from your own Google Cloud project, then sign in with Google once. In the Google Cloud console create a project and enable the Google People API (APIs & Services > Library). Set up the OAuth consent screen as Internal for Google Workspace, or as External and then click Publish app, because apps left in Testing get refresh tokens that expire after 7 days. Then go to Credentials > Create credentials > OAuth client ID > Web application, add the redirect URI https://pipmcp.com/oauth/callback and copy the client ID and secret. PipMCP renews access automatically after that.
3
Add the link to your AI
You get a personal MCP link. Add it to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor:
Click your name, then Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector. Paste your link as the Remote MCP server URL. Switch it on from the + menu in a chat.

Questions

What can the AI do in Google Contacts?

It can search and list your contacts, read a contact's details, search Other contacts, and list and read contact labels. It can create, update and delete contacts, save an Other contact into your contacts, create labels and add or remove contacts in a label.

Does the AI see my Google Contacts credentials?

No. Your OAuth client secret and the access from your Google sign-in are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start read-only. Deleting a contact removes it from your contacts, and an update replaces the fields it changes, so these tools can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

Google Contacts connects with OAuth, and OAuth connections need the PipMCP Pro plan or above. PipMCP also has a free plan with no credit card, but it does not include this connection. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Google account.

What are Other contacts?

Other contacts are people you have emailed but never saved. Google keeps them apart from your contacts. The AI can search them read-only and, if you ask, save one into your contacts with name, email and phone number.
