Google Drive MCP

Google's official remote Drive MCP: search, read, and create files with Workspace governance.

What it does

A first-party hosted MCP endpoint from the Drive API team that lets agents search files, read content as a natural-language representation, retrieve metadata, and create/download files — inheriting the user's Drive permissions and Workspace data governance. The production file server for dailies, exports, and shared media.

Field notes

Still gated behind the Google Workspace Developer Preview Program more than three months after listing, with no GA announcement — flag as preview. Nothing drifted on re-check: same endpoint, same eight tools, same two scopes (drive.readonly and drive.file, not full Drive access). Google has since published a per-tool MCP reference at developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/reference/mcp, which is the place to check argument shapes. The setup cost is the same as before and worth budgeting for: enable both the Drive API and the Drive MCP API in your own Google Cloud project, configure the consent screen, then create a Web application OAuth client whose redirect URI depends on the client you are connecting from — Google documents different values for Antigravity, Claude and everything else, and a mismatch fails at consent, not at connect. The old Anthropic reference gdrive server is archived; don't use it. Broader community alternative covering Docs/Sheets/Slides/Gmail too: taylorwilsdon/google_workspace_mcp, listed here as google-workspace.
