Googlecontacts integration for multiplayer collaboration with AI agents using Claude Code or Codex

One governed connection your whole team and its AI agents can share, with approved actions and human review, so working in Googlecontacts never means pasting credentials into a prompt.

Use Googlecontacts from Claude Code

Bring Googlecontacts context into engineering work while Type keeps app access attached to the teammate and workspace.

Automate Googlecontacts with Codex

Let coding agents ask for the right app action, preserve conversation context, and keep humans in the approval loop.

Connect open agent workflows

Use Type as the collaboration layer around OpenClaw and other LLM workflows that need app access.

Productivity & Project Management

What the Googlecontacts integration exposes

Access and manage Google Contacts data via the Google People API

One connection, many teammates

Connect Googlecontacts once, then decide which teammates can use it for threads, automations, skills, and coding work.

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 Code use Googlecontacts?

Yes. Type lets an AI teammate use connected Googlecontacts actions from a governed workspace context, so Claude Code work can reference the app without copying credentials into a local prompt.

Can Codex work with Googlecontacts through Type?

Yes. Codex can collaborate through Type with app context, skills, and approved actions. The Googlecontacts catalog entry includes public integration details and example capabilities where available.

Is this the same as a Googlecontacts MCP server?

Type exposes connected app capabilities to AI teammates and coding agents through Type's integration layer. Teams use it when they want shared app access, human review, and teammate-level permissions around agent work.
