Google Chat for AI agents

Google Chat is Google Workspace's team messaging tool for spaces, direct messages, and threaded conversations. Individuals and small teams use it to keep this organized without extra manual upkeep. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

await arc0.policies.set('google_chat', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // create_space

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Google Chat connects.

Users sign in to Google Chat on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Google Chat OAuth app, or bring your own so the Google Chat consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

The same Google Chat connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Google Chat and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Google Chat with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Google Chat to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Google Chat actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Google Chat?

Users sign in to Google Chat on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Google Chat OAuth app, or bring your own so the Google Chat consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

Q03

Which Google Chat actions can my agent take?

46 in total: 22 read, 18 write and 6 destructive, such as “create Space”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Google Chat?

Yes. Actions like “delete space” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Google Chat too?

Yes. The same Google Chat connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
