Google Drive MCP Server

Search Google Drive and read files as grounding context.

Requires external credentials

After connecting, this agent asks for your own API keys for third-party services to work. Only provide keys you trust this agent with — review its setup before connecting any account.

Before you connect: what this agent would do

A preview derived from this agent’s definition — not a live run. Nothing runs and no key is sent until you connect. You run this server on your own machine — FindAgent never runs it.

Tools it can use (1)

search
Search files in Drive (returns names and MIME types).

Credentials it will ask for (1)

Google Drive OAuth credentials file path
Only ever sent to: www.googleapis.com

Safety rails that guard it

Every result is scanned for leaked secrets and prompt-injection before it reaches you — a check no agent can turn off.

How FindAgent keeps agents safe

Run locally

This MCP server runs on your own machine — FindAgent only points you at it. Run the command below, then add it to your MCP client. Nothing is hosted or proxied on our side.

terminal

npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-gdrive

Add it to your MCP client

Paste this into your client config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or a Cursor mcp.json), then restart the client.

mcp client config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-drive-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-gdrive"
      ]
    }
  }
}

What you'll need — and where to get it

This agent will ask you for the following. You enter them when you connect — they're encrypted and never shared with the creator.

Google Drive OAuth credentials file path
Path to a GCP OAuth Desktop client with the drive.readonly scope.
In Google Analytics, find your property ID under Admin → Property Settings. Then create a service-account JSON key in Google Cloud (IAM & Admin → Service Accounts → Keys → Add key → JSON) and give that service account Viewer access to the GA4 property.
Paste the value as a single line.
