- alerting a team space when a deploy fails
- cleaning up short-lived incident channels
- updating a status card as a job progresses
- counting acknowledgements on an alert message
- spinning up an incident channel automatically
- fetching the message that triggered a workflow
- resolving the space id before posting a message
What you can do with Google Chat
Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.
Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Use Google Chat from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex
Connect Google Chat in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Google Chat operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.
claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"
[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"{
"mcpServers": {
"livecontext": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}How to connect Google Chat
Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect Google Chat once
Add your Google Chat connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
Describe the job in chat
The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
