Representative actions

  • Batch create contacts

    Create a batch of new contacts in Google Contacts. This action creates up to 200 contacts in a single API call and returns the PersonResponses for the newly created contacts. Use this action when you need to create multiple contacts at once to reduce API calls and improve performance. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures. Note: The contacts array accepts Person objects with any valid People API fields (names, emailAddresses, phoneNumbers, addresses, organizations, etc.). Each contact must be wrapped in a 'contactPerson' object.

  • Batch get contact groups

    Get a list of contact groups owned by the authenticated user by specifying a list of contact group resource names. Use when you need to retrieve details for specific contact groups, such as getting group metadata, member counts, or group names for multiple groups in a single API call.

  • Batch Update Google Contacts

    Update a batch of contacts in Google Contacts and return the updated contact data. Use this action when you need to modify multiple contacts at once, such as: - Updating names, phone numbers, or email addresses for several contacts - Making bulk changes to contact information - Syncing contact data from another source This action allows updating up to 200 contacts per request. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.

  • Copy Other Contact to My Contacts

    Copies an Other contact to a new contact in the user's myContacts group. Use this action when you need to save an existing "Other contact" (from Google's contact suggestions) to your permanent contacts in the myContacts group. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.

  • Create Contact

    Create a new contact in Google Contacts and return the person resource for that contact. Use when you need to add a new person to the authenticated user's Google Contacts. The request returns a 400 error if more than one field is specified on a field that is a singleton for contact sources: biographies, birthdays, genders, or names. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures. This action creates a single contact; for bulk creation of multiple contacts, use GOOGLECONTACTS_BATCH_CREATE_CONTACTS instead. Note: Only the primary entry for singleton fields (biographies, birthdays, genders, names) will be saved for contact sources.

Connection

API and auth details

Google Contacts integrations use the Google People API for contact and profile data. Integrations can list, create, update, delete, search, and batch-manage contacts and contact groups, sync user profile fields, and support address book workflows under OAuth scopes for contacts and directory data.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting Googlecontacts

Can Claude use Googlecontacts?

Yes. Add a Googlecontacts connection to a Space that runs Claude, then use its approved tools and data from any channel in that Space.

Can Codex work with Googlecontacts through Type?

Yes. Add a Googlecontacts connection to a Space that runs Codex, then use its approved tools and data from any channel in that Space.

Is this the same as a Googlecontacts MCP server?

Not exactly. Type uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
