Such a rich UI like google sheets seems like a bad use case for such a general "browser automation" MCP server. Would be cool to see an MCP server like this, but with specific tools that let the LLM read and write to google sheets cells. I'm sure it would knock these tasks out of the park if it had a more specific abstraction instead of generally interacting with a webpage

Agreed, I'd been working on a Google Sheets specific MCP last week – just got it published here: https://github.com/mkummer225/google-sheets-mcp
This is cool. You should submit this as a 'Show HN'.

Also consider publishing it so people can use it without having to use git.

Publishing it where? It can’t be a github page, it’s too complex; anything else incurs real costs.
I mean publish it on the npm registry (https://www.npmjs.com/signup). That way, it would be easy to install, just by adding some lines to claude_desktop_config.json:

  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "ragdocs": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": [
          "-y",
          "@qpd-v/mcp-server-ragdocs"
        ],
        "env": {
          "QDRANT_URL": "http://127.0.0.1:6333",
          "EMBEDDING_PROVIDER": "ollama",
          "OLLAMA_URL": "http://localhost:11434"
        }
      },
     }
    }
  }
