[TaskKit open-source catalog](https://www.taskkit.vn/ma-nguon-mo) Β· [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mcp-google-drive) Β· [GitHub](https://github.com/Longtran2404/mcp-google-drive)

## ✨ Features

## πŸš€ Quick Setup

### Prerequisites

- Node.js 20+
- Google Service Account with Drive API enabled
- Service Account JSON key file

### Installation

```bash
npm install mcp-google-drive
```

### Environment Setup

Set your Google Service Account credentials:

```bash
export GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY='{"type":"service_account",...}'
```

## πŸ”§ Cursor MCP Integration

### Automatic Integration

The MCP server is designed to work seamlessly with Cursor. Add this configuration to your `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-google-drive": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-google-drive@latest"],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY": "your-service-account-json",
        "MCP_MODE": "stdio",
        "LOG_LEVEL": "info",
        "DISABLE_CONSOLE_OUTPUT": "false"
      },
      "cwd": "/path/to/your/project"
    }
  }
}
```

### Troubleshooting Cursor Integration

If MCP tools are not working in Cursor:

1. **Restart Cursor** after updating `mcp.json`
2. **Check MCP Status**: Command Palette β†’ "MCP: Show Servers"
3. **Verify Connection**: Command Palette β†’ "MCP: Test Connection"
4. **Check Logs**: Look for MCP server startup messages

### Manual Server Start

If automatic integration fails, you can start the server manually:

```bash
# In your project directory
npm run start

# Or globally
npx mcp-google-drive
```

TDQS

B3.4/5.0

Scored across 15 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, but get_file and get_file_content overlap somewhat, as do list_files and search_files. Descriptions help differentiate them.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., create_file, list_files, delete_file), with no exceptions.

Tool Count5/5

15 tools is well-scoped for a Google Drive server, covering file operations, folders, sharing, permissions, and search without being excessive.

Completeness4/5

Core CRUD, sharing, permissions, and search are covered. Missing features like trash or copy folder are minor gaps that do not hinder typical workflows.
