Feature Request: Multi-account support

[vrknetha]

Use Case

I manage multiple Google Workspace accounts from the same machine:

• Work email (org domain)
• Personal Gmail
• Client/project-specific accounts

With gws, I can only authenticate one account at a time. In practice, I need to hit different APIs with different accounts in the same workflow — e.g., read email from work account, update a sheet owned by a personal account, check calendar on a client domain.

Current Workaround

Manually swapping GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_CONFIG_DIR or GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_CREDENTIALS_FILE env vars per command, which is fragile and breaks automation.

Proposed Solution

Support named profiles/accounts, similar to how aws configure --profile or gcloud config configurations work:

# Login with named accounts
gws auth login --account work
gws auth login --account personal

# Use per-command
gws gmail users messages list --account work --params '{"userId": "me"}'
gws sheets spreadsheets get --account personal --params '{"spreadsheetId": "..."}' 

# Or set a default
gws auth default work

Why This Matters

For AI agent workflows especially, the agent often needs to operate across accounts (e.g., read from one Google Sheet owned by account A, send an email via account B). A first-class multi-account model would make gws viable as the single Google CLI for power users and agent systems.

Great project — excited to see this evolve!

@sqrrrl can i start working on it ?

[parthsdoshi]

Looks like #85 is related/merged.
Edit: nvm, reverted in #253

Actually, after I wrote that comment i saw that for now they won't accept PR from non collaborators temporarily.

Any info on why it was reverted? Really useful feature, curious why it was removed.

[anaslimem]

TBH i dont personally know why, but you can open a discussion and they will answer you.

This is the single most important feature in the entire suite. Everything else can be achieved by existing connectors.

My current workaround is havening multiple instances of https://workspacemcp.com running in parallel with a lot of glue code. It's not fun and reliable.

FWIW I'm using gogcli (https://github.com/steipete/gogcli) right now as that supports multi-account auth, and works really nicely.
