How do you keep Google Workspace MCP tools (Gmail, Sheets, Drive, Calendar) reliably available across sessions?
I'm running Claude Code on Windows with 6 Google Workspace MCP server instances (different Gmail accounts). - Services needed: Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Calendar, Contacts Ideal outcome: Google MCP tools that just work every session without re-auth, and don't disappear mid-conversation. Two recurring problems: 1. OAuth token expiry — After a few days, tools start returning auth errors and I need to restart the session and re-grant OAuth. Is there a way to use a Google Service Account instead of OAuth for MCP servers, so tokens never expire? I already have a service account working for Sheets API via scripts, but the MCP servers seem to require OAuth. 2. MCP tools disappear after context compaction — Mid-session, after the context window compresses, some or all MCP tools vanish and calls fail with "No such tool available". The only fix is restarting the session entirely. Is this a known issue? Any workarounds? Thanks

Thanks Beau, really helpful — exactly what I needed.👍 Production mode is the big fix I was missing. Been re-authing every 7 days and didn't realise it was because the project is still in "testing" mode. Pushing to production today. Service accounts for Sheets/Drive/Calendar — good to know they work. I already have one running for Sheets API in scripts so I'll migrate those MCP servers over. Gmail staying on OAuth is fine if production mode stops the expiry. Separate token paths — already doing this thankfully. Appreciate the detailed breakdown. Might take you up on the Wednesday call Many thanks

Hi All, I'm Paul from the UK. I run 2 businesses one service based and the other Amazon reselling. I've been trying to build Claude Code and Openclaw as a full business operating system for the last few weeks and it's completely changed how I work. Built a knowledge base, automated my daily ops, even got AI agents handling research and content drafting. Now I'm rebuilding one of my company websites with Next.js — first time touching code in my life! Keen to see what everyone else is building and pick up some new tricks.
