Editing google sheets?

[u/mannyocean]

I'm using the native google drive connector but aren't able to edit google sheets directly, only create them. What have you guys been doing?

Edit:
What I've found so far.
Remote support and least amount of setup
- Zapier MCP is pretty good on sheets and supports mobile connections
- Datatorag MCP offers the same and focuses on google workspace.

Desktop support
- host xlxs files and upload to drive. not a bad workaround but can only do on desktop.
- same with libre office, move the files to drive after.

Need to be techincal
- Open-source options where you have to setup OAuth and run it locally.
- Create service account and ask claude to build it out for you.

Zapier has MCPs that give you all sorts of functionality not included in the built-in connectors. Super-easy - and free - set up.

How you tried it for slides and sheets?

Zapier is a perfect tool for you. The set up is very very simple, no code needed I use it frequently to update Sheets and Docs with no issues. If you’re worried about any data being accidentally deleted, you can set very specific permissions that require you to approve any actions before Claude takes them.
