Integrations

  • Supports environment variable configuration through .env files for setting up GCP project details, locations, server ports, and other configuration parameters.

  • Provides tools for querying and managing GCP resources including Artifact Registry, BigQuery, Cloud Audit Logs, Cloud Build, Compute Engine, Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Run, and Cloud Storage, enabling operations like container management, data warehousing, logging analysis, CI/CD pipeline management, VM provisioning, metrics monitoring, and serverless deployments.

This is not a Ready MCP Server

GCP MCP Server

A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services, enabling AI assistants to interact with and manage GCP resources through a standardized interface.

Overview

GCP MCP Server provides AI assistants with capabilities to:

  • Query GCP Resources: Get information about your cloud infrastructure
  • Manage Cloud Resources: Create, configure, and manage GCP services
  • Receive Assistance: Get AI-guided help with GCP configurations and best practices

The implementation follows the MCP specification to enable AI systems to interact with GCP services in a secure, controlled manner.

Supported GCP Services

This implementation includes support for the following GCP services:

  • Artifact Registry: Container and package management
  • BigQuery: Data warehousing and analytics
  • Cloud Audit Logs: Logging and audit trail analysis
  • Cloud Build: CI/CD pipeline management
  • Cloud Compute Engine: Virtual machine instances
  • Cloud Monitoring: Metrics, alerting, and dashboards
  • Cloud Run: Serverless container deployments
  • Cloud Storage: Object storage management

Architecture

The project is structured as follows:

gcp-mcp-server/ ├── core/ # Core MCP server functionality auth context logging_handler security ├── prompts/ # AI assistant prompts for GCP operations ├── services/ # GCP service implementations │ ├── README.md # Service implementation details │ └── ... # Individual service modules ├── main.py # Main server entry point └── ...

Key components:

  • Service Modules: Each GCP service has its own module with resources, tools, and prompts
  • Client Instances: Centralized client management for authentication and resource access
  • Core Components: Base functionality for the MCP server implementation

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+
  • GCP project with enabled APIs for the services you want to use
  • Authenticated GCP credentials (Application Default Credentials recommended)

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:
    git clone https://github.com/yourusername/gcp-mcp-server.git cd gcp-mcp-server
  2. Set up a virtual environment:
    python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
  3. Install dependencies:
    pip install -r requirements.txt
  4. Configure your GCP credentials:
    # Using gcloud gcloud auth application-default login # Or set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/service-account-key.json"
  5. Set up environment variables:
    cp .env.example .env # Edit .env with your configuration

Running the Server

Start the MCP server:

python main.py

For development and testing:

# Development mode with auto-reload python main.py --dev # Run with specific configuration python main.py --config config.yaml

Docker Deployment

Build and run with Docker:

# Build the image docker build -t gcp-mcp-server . # Run the container docker run -p 8080:8080 -v ~/.config/gcloud:/root/.config/gcloud gcp-mcp-server

Configuration

The server can be configured through environment variables or a configuration file:

Environment VariableDescriptionDefault
GCP_PROJECT_IDDefault GCP project IDNone (required)
GCP_DEFAULT_LOCATIONDefault region/zoneus-central1
MCP_SERVER_PORTServer port8080
LOG_LEVELLogging levelINFO

See .env.example for a complete list of configuration options.

Development

Adding a New GCP Service

  1. Create a new file in the services/ directory
  2. Implement the service following the pattern in existing services
  3. Register the service in main.py

See the services README for detailed implementation guidance.

Security Considerations

  • The server uses Application Default Credentials for authentication
  • Authorization is determined by the permissions of the authenticated identity
  • No credentials are hardcoded in the service implementations
  • Consider running with a service account with appropriate permissions

Using the Server

To use this server:

  1. Place your GCP service account key file as service-account.json in the same directory
  2. Install the MCP package: pip install "mcp[cli]"
  3. Install the required GCP package: pip install google-cloud-run
  4. Run: mcp dev gcp_cloudrun_server.py

Or install it in Claude Desktop:

mcp install gcp_cloudrun_server.py --name "GCP Cloud Run Manager"

MCP Server Configuration

The following configuration can be added to your configuration file for GCP Cloud Tools:

"mcpServers": { "GCP Cloud Tools": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "run", "--with", "google-cloud-artifact-registry>=1.10.0", "--with", "google-cloud-bigquery>=3.27.0", "--with", "google-cloud-build>=3.0.0", "--with", "google-cloud-compute>=1.0.0", "--with", "google-cloud-logging>=3.5.0", "--with", "google-cloud-monitoring>=2.0.0", "--with", "google-cloud-run>=0.9.0", "--with", "google-cloud-storage>=2.10.0", "--with", "mcp[cli]", "--with", "python-dotenv>=1.0.0", "mcp", "run", "C:\\Users\\enes_\\Desktop\\mcp-repo-final\\gcp-mcp\\src\\gcp-mcp-server\\main.py" ], "env": { "GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS": "C:/Users/enes_/Desktop/mcp-repo-final/gcp-mcp/service-account.json", "GCP_PROJECT_ID": "gcp-mcp-cloud-project", "GCP_LOCATION": "us-east1" } } }

Configuration Details

This configuration sets up an MCP server for Google Cloud Platform tools with the following:

  • Command: Uses uv package manager to run the server
  • Dependencies: Includes various Google Cloud libraries (Artifact Registry, BigQuery, Cloud Build, etc.)
  • Environment Variables:
    • GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS: Path to your GCP service account credentials
    • GCP_PROJECT_ID: Your Google Cloud project ID
    • GCP_LOCATION: GCP region (us-east1)

Usage

Add this configuration to your MCP configuration file to enable GCP Cloud Tools functionality.
