Context to know first
What can I do with Google Chat in MCPBundles?
List rooms and DMs, read message history when your connection allows it, post updates and digests, reply in threads, manage memberships, and create or update spaces.
Can it search all of Google Chat at once?
No. Google Chat has no workspace-wide inbox search like Gmail. Recaps work best by listing each relevant space and filtering messages by time or thread.
How do daily digests work?
The assistant enumerates your spaces, reads recent messages in each with a time filter, summarizes the highlights, and posts one combined update to a destination room you choose.

Domain knowledge for Google Chat — workflow patterns, data models, and gotchas for your AI agent.
Google Chat
Operate on the authenticated user's Google Chat workspace: rooms, group chats, direct messages, message history, and memberships.
Data Model
- Spaces — rooms, group chats, and DMs. Identified by resource names spaces/{id}; displayName is for humans only and is not a valid API target.
- Space types — SPACE (named room), GROUP_CHAT (multi-person; needs members when created), DIRECT_MESSAGE (1:1).
- Messages — posts scoped to one space; each has a resource name under that space. Thread replies share a thread resource.
- Memberships — roster entries (emails and membership resource names) for who belongs to each space.
Workflows
- Daily digest / recap — Enumerate relevant spaces → for each, list messages since a time boundary with a createTime filter → compose one summary post into a destination space. Scan spaces explicitly; there is no workspace-wide inbox search.
- Reply in thread — Continue a conversation with the thread resource name from an earlier message; omitting it starts a new top-level post.
- Recent activity — Prefer per-space message listing with RFC3339 cutoffs such as createTime > "2026-06-26T00:00:00Z". Cross-space text matching is substring-only and does not understand mail-style date operators.
Gotchas
- Resource names vs labels: API targets are always spaces/{id} plus message/thread names returned by list calls — never room titles or email subjects.
- No global search: Chat API v1 has no Gmail-style after: / from: syntax. Date-bounded history is per-space via message list filters.
- Pagination: Busy spaces need page_token loops; when summarizing many spaces, paginate each space and avoid unbounded parallel fan-out.
- Access limits: Reading thread history, editing or deleting messages, or creating spaces may fail when the connected identity only has list-and-send access — narrow to enumerate spaces and post new messages, or surface the upstream permission error verbatim.
- Creating spaces: GROUP_CHAT needs multiple member emails; duplicate displayName values and invalid member lists often return HTTP 400 with field-configuration hints from Google.
