Google Workspace Admin Automation via Rube MCP

Manage Google Workspace users, groups, memberships, and organizational settings programmatically using Rube MCP (Composio).

Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/google_admin

Prerequisites

  • Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
  • Active connection via
    RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
    with toolkit
    google_admin
  • Google Workspace admin privileges for the authenticated account
  • Always call
    RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
    first to get current tool schemas

Setup

Get Rube MCP: Add

https://rube.app/mcp
as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

  1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming
    RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
    responds
  2. Call
    RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
    with toolkit
    google_admin
  3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete setup
  4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

  - name (required): Display name (e.g., "Engineering Team")
  - description: Group purpose description

4. Add Users to Groups

Use

GOOGLE_ADMIN_ADD_USER_TO_GROUP
to manage group membership.

Tool: GOOGLE_ADMIN_ADD_USER_TO_GROUP
Parameters:
  - group_key (required): Group email or ID
  - user_key (required): User email or ID to add
  - role: "MEMBER" (default), "MANAGER", or "OWNER"

5. Suspend or Unsuspend Users

6. Get User or Group Details

Use

GOOGLE_ADMIN_GET_USER
or
GOOGLE_ADMIN_GET_GROUP
to retrieve detailed information.

Tool: GOOGLE_ADMIN_GET_USER
Parameters:
  - user_key (required): User's email or unique ID

Tool: GOOGLE_ADMIN_GET_GROUP
Parameters:
  - group_key (required): Group's email or unique ID

Common Patterns

  • Onboarding workflow: Use
    GOOGLE_ADMIN_CREATE_USER
    to provision the account, then
    GOOGLE_ADMIN_ADD_USER_TO_GROUP
    to add them to relevant groups.
  • Offboarding workflow: Use
    GOOGLE_ADMIN_SUSPEND_USER
    to disable access, or
    GOOGLE_ADMIN_DELETE_USER
    for permanent removal.
  • Audit group membership: Use
    GOOGLE_ADMIN_LIST_GROUPS
    to find groups, then
    GOOGLE_ADMIN_LIST_GROUP_MEMBERS
    to review members.
  • Bulk user management: List users with
    GOOGLE_ADMIN_LIST_USERS
    and filter queries, then iterate for updates.
  • Add email aliases: Use
    GOOGLE_ADMIN_ADD_USER_ALIAS
    to add alternative email addresses for a user.
  • Look up user details: Use
    GOOGLE_ADMIN_GET_USER
    to retrieve full profile information before making changes.

Known Pitfalls

  • Admin privileges required: All tools require the authenticated user to have Google Workspace administrator privileges. Non-admin accounts will receive permission errors.
  • Delete is permanent:
    GOOGLE_ADMIN_DELETE_USER
    permanently removes a user account. This action cannot be undone.
  • user_key accepts email or ID: The
    user_key
    parameter accepts both the user's primary email address and their unique numeric user ID.
  • Group membership replaces: When adding to groups, the
    role
    parameter controls the member's role. There is no "update role" -- remove and re-add to change roles.
  • Customer ID: Use
    "my_customer"
    as the
    customer
    parameter for the authenticated user's organization. Specific customer IDs look like
    C01abc123
    .
  • Pagination: Both user and group list endpoints may return paginated results. Always check for
    page_token
    in responses for complete results.
  • Password requirements:
    GOOGLE_ADMIN_CREATE_USER
    requires a password that meets the domain's password policy. Weak passwords will be rejected.
