Setup
Installing via Smithery

Manual Installation
1. Install dependencies:
npm install
2. Build the project:

3. Configure Claude Desktop:
Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:
"cloudtasks-mcp": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/path/to/cloudtasks-mcp/build/index.js"
],
"env": {
"GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION_PROJECTS": "location:project-id"
}
}
Replace the path in args with the actual path to index.js.
Define a comma-separated list of location:project-id pairs in GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION_PROJECTS.
Example: us-east1:google-project-id1,us-central1:google-project-id2
The first listed project is the default.
The application expects to find .json credential file(s) in the keys folder for each project.
Example: keys/google-project-id1.json
Ensure the relevant cloud service account has appropriate permission to interact with Cloud Tasks, e.g. Cloud Tasks Admin or lesser permission(s).
