ORCA Drive SA MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes a Google Drive folder over Streamable HTTP, deployed as a Vercel serverless function.

It reads Google Drive through a Google service account (Drive API v3, read-only scope), so no Apps Script web app is needed.

1. Create a Google service account

1. Go to https://console.cloud.google.com and create (or select) a project.

2. Enable the Google Drive API (APIs & Services → Library → "Google Drive API").

3. Create a service account:

   • APIs & Services → Credentials → Create credentials → Service account.

   • Give it a name and click Create and continue, then Done.

4. Generate a key:

   • Open the service account → Keys → Add key → Create new key → JSON.

   • Download the JSON key file.

5. Copy the service account email (e.g. orca-drive@my-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com).

6. Share the target Drive folder with that email (right-click the folder in Drive → Share → paste the email → Viewer).

Only files/folders shared with the service account are accessible.

2. Configure environment variables

Copy .env.example to .env (local dev) and set the same values in Vercel (Project > Settings > Environment Variables):

3. Run locally

npm install
vercel dev

Test with the MCP Inspector (npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector) using transport Streamable HTTP and URL http://localhost:3000/.

4. Deploy to Vercel
