Google Drive MCP: Documentation
Updated:
Connection
Remote: https://drivemcp.googleapis.com/mcp/v1 (JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTPS, a single global endpoint). Auth is Google OAuth 2.0 with Drive access. The service is part of the Google Workspace Developer Preview program; as with Gmail MCP, adding it as a custom connector in Claude.ai requires a paid plan (Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise).
Tools
8 tools: search_files — search by name and content, list_recent_files — recently changed files, get_file_metadata — metadata (owner, modified date, type), get_file_permissions — who has access, read_file_content — a file's text, download_file_content — binary content, create_file — create a new file, copy_file — copy an existing one.
Agent flow
"Find the Rebranding project deck and show who has access to it", "copy the contract template into my Legal folder and open the text for editing", "show the 10 most recently changed files in the team's shared folder".
Limits
Developer Preview: no tools for moving files between folders, changing permissions on the fly, or deleting — the server focuses on search, reading and copying.
Pricing
The MCP server is free under the preview program; using it as a custom connector in Claude.ai requires a paid Claude plan (Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise).
