Claude + Google Keep: What the Integration Can (and Can't) Do in 2026
No — there’s no official Claude Google Keep connector, and this is the one integration where the platform, not Claude, is the wall. Keep isn’t in Anthropic’s directory, and it’s also absent from Google’s own Workspace remote MCP servers (which cover Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Chat, and People — not Keep). The deeper reason: there is no public Google Keep API for personal accounts. The only official Keep API is enterprise-only, gated behind Google Workspace admin controls. So unlike most apps, you can’t just “bring your own key” for a consumer Keep account — that key doesn’t exist.
Here’s exactly what’s real, the one risky community path, and what to use if you want note-driven work that runs on its own.
Why there’s no clean path: the Keep API is enterprise-only
The official Google Keep API is explicitly built “to manage Google Keep content in an enterprise environment and resolve issues identified by cloud security software.” In practice that means:
- Workspace-only, admin-approved. Access runs through domain-wide delegation and restricted OAuth scopes (subject to Google’s security-assessment requirements). It can read and manage notes, attachments, and note permissions — but only inside a Workspace org, driven by an admin.
- No consumer API at all. Personal
@gmail.comaccounts have no official Keep API. Long-standing requests to open one remain unanswered, which is exactly why Zapier and Make have no real Keep integration either.
And even for Workspace orgs that do have API access, there is no Google Keep MCP server — official or from Google — to plug into Claude. So the “official” path is narrow (enterprise admins only) and still requires custom API work rather than a ready connector.
Don’t confuse Keep with Google Tasks, which has a normal public API and is much easier to automate.
The one community path — and its real cost
For personal Keep accounts, the only thing that exists is community MCP servers built on an unofficial, reverse-engineered client:
feuerdev/keep-mcpis the most-cited community Keep MCP — search, create, and update notes, checklists, labels, and pinned/archived state from Claude Desktop.- Others like
davenicoll/google-keep-mcpexist too.
All of them sit on top of gkeepapi, an unofficial client of Keep’s private API. The catch is serious enough to state plainly: authentication uses a Google “master token” — a long-lived, full-account credential. That’s a real security trade-off, and it’s fragile: Google can break the private API at any time, and a master token is far more sensitive than a scoped API key. If you go this route, understand you’re handing broad account access to an unofficial tool. For most people, that’s not worth it.
The limits that actually matter
Even where a path exists, the shape is “an assistant you operate,” not “an agent that runs”:
- No official consumer connection. Nothing in Claude’s directory, nothing from Google, no supported personal-account API to build on.
- No triggers, no monitoring. Any MCP setup only works inside a conversation you start. There’s no “when I add a note, turn it into a task” — nothing fires on a Keep event.
- Conversation-only, and fragile. The community route can read and write notes in a chat, but it depends on an unofficial client and a master token that can break or expose your account.
So Claude is, at best, a way to poke at your notes inside a chat through a risky bridge — not a reliable, always-on system built around Keep.
If you want note-driven work that runs on its own: Carly
Because there’s no consumer Keep API, the honest move is to build your automation around the capture points that do have solid APIs — email, calendar, tasks, and docs — rather than trying to script personal Keep.
That’s where Carly fits. Carly is an AI executive assistant built to act on triggers, not just answer in a chat:
- Capture without the Keep API. Email a note to a dedicated address and Carly turns it into a task, a calendar event, or a row in a doc — the same “jot it down and move on” habit, on infrastructure that’s actually automatable.
- Fires on events and schedules, 24/7, in the cloud — turn morning ideas into a task list, or send yourself a daily digest; your laptop doesn’t need to be awake.
- Actually sends and updates — drafts and sends email (Gmail and Outlook), manages tasks, updates your CRM, and records meetings.
- Builds the workflow for you — describe “when I email my notes address, add each line as a task and remind me tomorrow” in plain English; it interviews you, then builds it with you.
For a Workspace org with admin access to the enterprise Keep API, Carly can connect to it via your own credentials — paste them on carlyassistant.com/integrations, and Carly can do whatever that API allows. For personal accounts, the email-in and Tasks/Calendar flows above are the reliable route. AI agents start at $35/month, and steps in a workflow that don’t use AI run free and unlimited. Carly connects to 200+ tools across 40+ categories — see integrations.
Claude vs Carly
| Claude (Google Keep) | Carly | |
|---|---|---|
| Official / supported connection | No | Enterprise Keep API (BYO), or email-in capture |
| Read/write personal Keep notes | Only via risky community bridge | Via adjacent capture flows |
| Acts on triggers / events | No | Yes |
| Runs on a schedule | No | Yes |
| Works while laptop is closed | No | Yes (cloud) |
| Sends email as part of the flow | No (Gmail draft-only) | Yes (Gmail + Outlook) |
| Pricing | Pro $20 / Max $100–$200 | AI agents from $35/mo |
Claude has no safe, supported way into personal Keep. Carly builds the same note-to-action habit on APIs that actually exist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Claude work with Google Keep?
Not officially. Keep isn’t in Anthropic’s connector directory, and it’s not in Google’s Workspace remote MCP servers either. Crucially, there’s no public Google Keep API for personal accounts — the only official API is enterprise-only, gated behind Workspace admin controls — so there’s nothing to build a clean connection on. Community MCP servers exist but rely on an unofficial, reverse-engineered client.
Is there any way to connect Claude to my personal Keep notes?
Only through community MCP servers (like feuerdev/keep-mcp) built on gkeepapi, an unofficial client that authenticates with a Google master token — a long-lived, full-account credential. That’s a real security risk and can break whenever Google changes its private API. For most people it isn’t worth it.
Can a Workspace admin connect Keep properly?
Yes, more so — Google’s enterprise Keep API supports managing notes and permissions via domain-wide delegation and restricted scopes. But there’s still no Keep MCP server, so it’s custom API work, not a ready connector.
What should I use instead for note-driven automation?
Build around APIs that exist. Carly turns emailed notes into tasks, calendar events, or docs, and fires on triggers and schedules 24/7 in the cloud — the same capture habit without depending on a personal Keep API. AI agents start at $35/month.

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
