🖥️ Claude Desktop Configuration

Add the following configuration to your Claude Desktop MCP settings file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-cloud-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "google-cloud-mcp",
        "--project-id", "your-project-id",
        "--service-account-path", "/path/to/your/service-account-key.json"
        "--allowed-buckets", "bucket1,bucket2,bucket3",
        "--allowed-datasets", "dataset1,dataset2",
        "--allowed-log-buckets", "log-bucket1",
        "--allowed-instances", "vm1,vm2"
      ],
    }
  }
}

Configuration Notes:

1. Project ID: Replace your-project-id with your actual Google Cloud Project ID

2. Service Account: Replace /path/to/your/service-account-key.json with the path to your service account JSON file

3. Access Controls: Specify comma-separated lists of allowed resources to restrict access

🏗️ Architecture

The project follows a modular architecture with separate managers for each GCP service:

• BigQuery (src/big_query.py): Data warehouse operations including query execution, data loading/exporting, job management, and cost estimation

• Cloud Logging (src/cloud_logging.py): Log management operations including reading/writing logs, managing buckets, sinks, exclusions, and metrics

• Cloud Storage (src/cloud_storage.py): Bucket and object management including CRUD operations, lifecycle management, and batch operations

• Compute Engine (src/compute_engine.py): Virtual machine management including instance lifecycle operations and zone management

Each manager class follows a consistent pattern:

• Constructor takes project_id and optional service_account_path

• Methods return dictionaries with operation results

• Comprehensive error handling and logging

• Support for both service account and default credential authentication

🧪 Testing

Run the test server:

uv run test_server.py

This will test all available MCP tools and verify their functionality.

Key Design Patterns

1. Consistent Return Types: All methods return dictionaries for easy JSON serialization

2. Flexible Authentication: Support for both service account files and default credentials

3. Comprehensive Error Handling: Specific exception handling for different GCP error types

4. Extensive Logging: Detailed logging throughout for debugging and monitoring

5. MCP Integration: Full compliance with MCP protocol specifications
