Append text to the very end of a Google Document or specific tab.

Insert text at a specific index within a document or tab.

Delete content within a specified range from a document or tab.

Apply character-level formatting (bold, color, font, etc.) to text.

Target can be specified either by:

• Range: Provide start_index and end_index

• Text search: Provide text_to_find and optionally match_instance

Apply paragraph-level formatting (alignment, spacing, headings, etc.).

Target can be specified by:

• Range: Provide start_index and end_index

• Text search: Provide text_to_find (styles the containing paragraph)

Execute multiple document operations in a single batched API call for improved performance.

This tool allows you to perform many operations at once instead of making separate tool calls. Operations are batched into groups of up to 50 requests (Google Docs API limit) and executed sequentially. This significantly reduces latency when making complex document changes.

Performance: 5-10x faster than individual tool calls for multi-operation workflows.

List all comments in a Google Document.

Get a specific comment with its full thread of replies.

Add a comment anchored to a specific text range in the document.

NOTE: Due to Google API limitations, comments created programmatically appear in the 'All Comments' list but may not be visibly anchored in the UI.

Add a reply to an existing comment.

Mark a comment as resolved.

NOTE: Due to Google API limitations, the resolved status may not persist in the Google Docs UI for all document types.

Upload an image to Google Drive from a resource identifier.

The resource identifier references a blob in the shared blob storage volume (mapped via Docker volumes) that can be accessed by multiple MCP servers.
