HTTP API connector An HTTP API described by an OpenAPI spec, not an MCP server. Calls go to https://docs.googleapis.com/ and carry an OAuth 2.0 token obtained with Sign in with Google on the cloud edition, or an API key or custom header on a self-hosted installation, which offers no sign-in flow.

What the skill can do

Authentication Options

The simplest way to connect Google Docs is by using xpander’s built-in authentication:
  1. In Xpander Chat, open the agent’s settings and click Add skill.
  2. Search for Google Docs and select it.
  3. Click Sign in with Google Docs.
  4. Grant xpander permission to access your account.
  5. Your Google Docs integration is now ready to use.
This method is recommended for most users. xpander securely manages your OAuth tokens without exposing any credentials.

Give an agent the Google Docs skill

Once Google Docs is connected, any agent you can edit may be given the skill: open the agent’s settings, click Add skill, and choose Google Docs. The skill panel lists the Google Docs actions by group. Enable only the groups the agent needs, and mark the actions that should wait for a named person’s sign-off under These actions need approval. Which skills exist for your organization, and who may add them, is decided by your admins; see Skills.
