A server that provides MCP (Machine Control Protocol) interface to interact with Google Drive files and folders.

Features

  • Search for files in Google Drive
  • Get file content and metadata
  • OAuth authentication with token persistence
  • HTTP and stdio transport modes

Requirements

  • Python 3.12 or higher
  • Google Drive API credentials

Setup

  1. Create a virtual environment:
python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
  1. Install the package in editable mode:
pip install -e .
  1. Set up Google Drive API credentials:
    • Go to the Google Cloud Console
    • Create a new project or select an existing one
    • Enable the Google Drive API for your project
    • Go to "Credentials" in the left sidebar
    • Click "Create Credentials" and select "OAuth client ID"
    • Choose "Desktop app" as the application type
    • Download the credentials file and save it as credentials.json
