mcp-gdrive

MCP server for Google Drive — list, search, read, write, create, and upload files.

Setup

1. Google Cloud credentials

1. Go to Google Cloud Console

2. Create a project (or select an existing one)

3. Enable the Google Drive API

4. Create OAuth 2.0 credentials (Application type: Desktop app)

5. Download the credentials JSON and save it as credentials.json in the project root — or set GDRIVE_CLIENT_ID and GDRIVE_CLIENT_SECRET environment variables

2. Install dependencies

npm install

3. Authorize

npm run auth

This opens a browser for Google sign-in. Tokens are saved to .gdrive-token.json (git-ignored).

4. Configure your MCP client

Add to your Claude Desktop / Claude Code config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gdrive": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-gdrive/src/index.js"]
    }
  }
}
