Write this project’s defaults to a .gdocs-mcp.json in the current working directory (or update an existing one up the tree). Set a default account and/or a default folder (URL or id) for new docs. To set a folder by name, search_drive for it first and pass its id.

Show the effective .gdocs-mcp.json defaults (account/folder) for the current working directory, and where the file is.

Read a Google Doc as markdown + inline HTML. mode: clean (committed text, default) · tracked (suggestions shown as /) · accepted · rejected.

Replace an exact unique snippet of text in a Google Doc (like a local file Edit). old_string is matched markup-tolerantly; ambiguous matches return surrounding context to disambiguate. new_string is interpreted as inline markdown (bold, italic, code, text). NOTE: this is a direct edit — the change is applied as live text, not a tracked suggestion (the Docs API cannot create suggestions). If the doc has pending suggestions from other reviewers, flag to the user that your edit will sit alongside them as an accepted change.

Apply styling to existing text in place (no content change), the way you select text in Docs and apply formatting. Pick ONE target: from (+ optional to) to style a selection — from the start of the unique from snippet to the end of the unique to snippet (omit to to style just from); or whole_document: true to style the entire doc/tab (e.g. one font throughout, without per-paragraph calls). Styles: bold/italic/underline/strikethrough, color (hex), fontSize (pt), fontFamily, link, paragraph alignment, and paragraph spacing (spaceBefore/spaceAfter in pt, lineSpacing %). Use inspect_style first to read current spacing/fonts. NOTE: a direct style change, not a tracked suggestion.

Read a doc’s (or tab’s) page setup — margins, page size (in points, plus a preset name if it matches letter/legal/a4/tabloid), and orientation. The read counterpart to set_page_setup; use it to mirror another document’s layout onto a new doc.

Set document-level page setup for a doc (or tab): page margins, page size, and orientation — the File > Page setup controls, which set_style can’t reach. Margins and explicit page sizes are in points (72 pt = 1 inch). pageSize is a preset (letter/legal/a4/tabloid) or an explicit {width,height} in points; orientation (portrait/landscape) swaps the page dimensions. A direct change, not a tracked suggestion.

Read the effective (inherited-resolved) style at a unique text snippet — read_doc’s markdown can’t express these; the read counterpart to set_style. Returns paragraph style (namedStyleType, alignment, spaceBefore/spaceAfter in pt, lineSpacing %, and whether spacing is inherited) and text style (bold/italic/underline/strikethrough, fontSize pt, fontFamily, color hex, link). Use it to diagnose things markdown hides — e.g. an unexpected gap between paragraphs is spacing (spaceAfter>0), not a blank line, and is fixed with set_style’s spaceAfter, not edit_doc.

Download every embedded image in a Google Doc to a local folder. Returns the objectId→filename mapping, which correlates with read_doc’s ![](image:<objectId>) markers so you can rewrite them to local paths (the inverse of publishing).

Insert an inline image from a public URL. Position via at (top/end/or a unique text anchor), size via width/height (points), and align left/center/right. A direct edit, not a tracked suggestion. Note: floating/text-wrapped images are not supported by the Docs API.

Insert a rows×columns table, optionally populated from a 2D array of cell text. Position via at (top/end/or a unique text anchor, default end). A direct edit, not a tracked suggestion.

List pending suggestions (tracked changes) in a Google Doc as before→after diffs, in document order. Returns the doc title and, per suggestion, a human-readable preview — pass these verbatim as documentTitle/expectedChange to apply_suggestion. Note: the Docs API exposes no author or timestamp for suggestions.

Resolve one or more pending suggestions (from list_suggestions) in ONE atomic update: accept keeps the proposed text, reject keeps the original. Pass one resolution to resolve a single suggestion, or several at once — required for suggestions that overlap or adjoin each other (a "cluster"), which cannot be resolved one at a time without corrupting neighbours. You MUST include every suggestion in any cluster you touch; a partially-resolved cluster is refused (status "incomplete"). documentTitle is checked against the live document first (status "wrong_doc" on mismatch, e.g. an id from a different, similarly-titled document). Copy each suggestion's preview from list_suggestions into its expectedChange (verified before applying). If the result includes a conflicts array, two suggestions genuinely conflicted (one inserts text inside another's deletion, both accepted) — it was auto-resolved by keeping the insertion; surface this to the user as NOT a clean merge.

List comments on a Google Doc (author display name, quoted text, body, resolved status, replies). Author email is not available via the Drive API.

Add a comment to a Google Doc, or reply to an existing comment thread by passing replyTo (a comment id from list_comments). A new comment (no replyTo) is not anchored to specific text — the Docs/Drive API cannot anchor programmatically-created comments.

Resolve (or reopen) a comment thread by comment id. Pass expectQuote (a snippet of the comment’s quoted text or body, from list_comments) — shown for confirmation and verified against the live comment, so a wrong/stale id is refused instead of resolving the wrong thread.

Create a new Google Doc with a title and optional initial content (rendered as markdown). Optionally place it in a Drive folder (by folder URL or id); otherwise it goes to My Drive root. For long documents, pass contentFile (a local path) instead of content so the server reads the body directly — retyping a long doc inline can silently drop or fuse text.

Update a Google Doc’s metadata: rename it (name) and/or move it to a Drive folder (folder, by URL or id). Provide name, folder, or both. When moving, pass expectTitle (the doc’s title) — shown for confirmation and verified against the live doc before moving; if it doesn’t match, nothing is changed. (Content edits use edit_doc/overwrite_doc, not this.)

Replace the entire body of a doc (or one tab) with markdown-rendered content. Refuses if comments/suggestions are present (would orphan them) unless force=true. Pass expectTitle (the doc’s title) — shown for confirmation and verified against the live doc before replacing. For long documents, pass contentFile instead of content so the server reads the body directly (retyping a long doc inline can silently drop text). A direct edit, not a tracked suggestion.

Structurally edit the table containing the given cell text: insert or delete a row or column. op picks the operation; side picks which side an insert goes on (for rows: after=below (default)/before=above; for columns: after=right (default)/before=left) and is ignored for deletes. Deletes remove the row/column that contains cell.

Edit style/layout of an existing table (located by any cell’s text): cell padding (pt), background color (hex), and column widths (pt). scope selects which cells padding/background hit — table (default), row, column, or cell (the row/column of the matched cell). Fixes e.g. thin left padding that clips the first letter of cells. A direct edit, not a tracked suggestion.

List the files and subfolders directly inside a Drive folder (by URL or id). Defaults to My Drive root.

Find files/folders whose name contains the query. Optionally restrict to folders or documents.

List the permissions on a Google Doc (people, groups, domain, anyone-with-link) with their roles.

Grant access to a Google Doc. With email, share with that person as reader/commenter/writer (optionally sending a notification). Without email, set anyone-with-link access to that role, or role "none" to disable link sharing. (To revoke a specific person’s access, use unshare_doc.)

Revoke a person’s direct access to a Google Doc by email.

List the tabs in a Google Doc (tabId, title, index, nesting).

Add a new tab to a Google Doc. Returns the new tabId. Optionally set position (index) and parent tab for nesting.

Rename a tab by tabId.

Delete a tab by tabId (cascades to child tabs). expectTitle (the tab’s title from list_tabs) is REQUIRED — it is shown in the confirmation and verified against the live tab, so an opaque/stale tabId cannot silently delete the wrong tab.
