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 in the Google Workspace Developer Preview Program two months on, with no GA announcement — flag as preview. Google now publishes the full eight-tool surface, listed above. You still bring your own Google Cloud OAuth client — consent screen plus client ID/secret — and the documented scopes are drive.readonly and drive.file, not full Drive access. 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.
