The Google Drive MCP Server is an integration tool for the Model Context Protocol. It enables AI models to connect with Google Drive for searching, listing, and reading files.
To use it, you must first configure a Google Cloud Project with the Drive API enabled and set up OAuth credentials. The server runs on Node.js and can be interacted with via command line or a desktop application.
Key features include full-text search across Drive, direct file content reading using file IDs, and native support for Workspace file types like Docs and Sheets. Security is handled via the OAuth 2.0 authentication flow.
Primary use cases are searching Drive with queries, programmatically reading file contents, and enhancing file management in desktop applications.
Prerequisites are Node.js v16+, npm or yarn, a Google Cloud Project, and a Google account. The server is secure, using OAuth 2.0 and safe credential storage. Project contributions via Pull Request are welcome.
