This guide shows you how to configure the Google Sheets connector for WRITER Agent. After setting up this connector, WRITER Agent can perform operations like reading sheets and ranges, searching data using filters, writing or updating cells and rows, appending data, and performing batch edits.

​
Set up the Google Sheets connector

Configure the Google Sheets connector in AI Studio under Connectors & Tools. The Google Sheets connector requires organization-managed OAuth authentication.
The Google Sheets connector only supports organization-managed OAuth. You must create your own Google Sheets OAuth application. Writer-managed OAuth is not available for Google Sheets.
Google OAuth credentials expire after 6 months of inactivity. If the Google Sheets connector is not used for 6 months, users will need to re-authenticate.

​
Create a Google OAuth application

Create a new Google OAuth application in the Google Cloud Console:
  1. Navigate to the Google Cloud Console
  2. Create a new project or select an existing project
  3. Enable the Google Sheets API for your project
  4. Configure the OAuth consent screen with your application details
  5. Create OAuth 2.0 credentials (Web application type)
  6. Add the Writer redirect URI to authorized redirect URIs: 
    https://app.writer.com/mcp/oauth/callback
  7. Configure the required OAuth scopes for your application
  8. Copy the client ID and client secret for use in AI Studio
For detailed instructions, see Google’s OAuth 2.0 documentation.

​
Required OAuth scopes

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets - Read and write access to Google Sheets

​
Configure the connector in AI Studio

  1. Navigate to Connectors & Tools in AI Studio
  2. Select the Google Sheets connector

  4. Select the connection type:
    • Level: User level (each user authenticates their own account) or org level (shared connection to a single account)
  5. Select which tools to enable for your agents
