Chatbot for Google Chat

This directory contains a Google Chat application that uses the MCP client library. It is designed to be deployed as a Google Workspace Add-on using clasp.

Prerequisites

  • clasp installed and authenticated.
  • A Google Cloud project with the “Google Chat API” enabled.
  • An Apps Script project linked to your Cloud project.

Deployment

The deployment process involves building the TypeScript code with Bazel, preparing a dist directory with the compiled JavaScript and the manifest file, and then pushing that directory to Google Apps Script with clasp.

1. Build the Chatbot

The ts_library rule in the BUILD.bazel file compiles the TypeScript source (main.ts) into JavaScript.

Run the following command from the root of the repository to build the chatbot:

bazelisk build //mcp/client/chatbot:main_ts_lib

2. Prepare Deployment Directory

clasp pushes the files from your current directory. We need to create a directory with the compiled JavaScript and the Apps Script manifest.

The following commands create a dist directory, copy the necessary files into it, and prepare it for clasp. Note that Apps Script requires the main JavaScript file to be named Code.js.

# Create a distribution directory
mkdir -p mcp/client/chatbot/dist

# Copy the compiled JavaScript and rename it to Code.js
cp _bazel_bin/mcp/client/chatbot/main.js mcp/client/chatbot/dist/Code.js

# Copy the Apps Script manifest
cp mcp/client/chatbot/appsscript.json mcp/client/chatbot/dist/

3. Deploy with Clasp

Navigate into the dist directory and push the files using clasp.

cd mcp/client/chatbot/dist
clasp push

This will upload the Code.js and appsscript.json files to your linked Apps Script project. From there, you can deploy it from the Apps Script editor.
