# Google Drive server [](https://smithery.ai/server/@rishipradeep-think41/drive-mcp) This MCP server integrates with Google Drive to allow listing, reading, and searching files, as well as the ability to read and write to Google Sheets. This project includes code originally developed by Anthropic, PBC, licensed under the MIT License from [this repo](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/gdrive). ## Components ### Tools - **gdrive_search** - **Description**: Search for files in Google Drive. - **Input**: - `query` (string): Search query. - `pageToken` (string, optional): Token for the next page of results. - `pageSize` (number, optional): Number of results per page (max 100). - **Output**: Returns file names and MIME types of matching files. - **gdrive_read_file** - **Description**: Read contents of a file from Google Drive. - **Input**: - `fileId` (string): ID of the file to read. - **Output**: Returns the contents of the specified file. - **gsheets_read** - **Description**: Read data from a Google Spreadsheet with flexible options for ranges and formatting. - **Input**: - `spreadsheetId` (string): The ID of the spreadsheet to read. - `ranges` (array of strings, optional): Optional array of A1 notation ranges (e.g., `['Sheet1!A1:B10']`). If not provided, reads the entire sheet. - `sheetId` (number, optional): Specific sheet ID to read. If not provided with ranges, reads the first sheet. - **Output**: Returns the specified data from the spreadsheet. - **gsheets_update_cell** - **Description**: Update a cell value in a Google Spreadsheet. - **Input**: - `fileId` (string): ID of the spreadsheet. - `range` (string): Cell range in A1 notation (e.g., `'Sheet1!A1'`). - `value` (string): New cell value. - **Output**: Confirms the updated value in the specified cell. ### Resources The server provides access to Google Drive files: - **Files** (`gdrive:///<file_id>`) - Supports all file types - Google Workspace files are automatically exported: - Docs → Markdown - Sheets → CSV - Presentations → Plain text - Drawings → PNG - Other files are provided in their native format ## Getting started 1. [Create a new Google Cloud project](https://console.cloud.google.com/projectcreate) 2. [Enable the Google Drive API](https://console.cloud.google.com/workspace-api/products) 3. [Configure an OAuth consent screen](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/consent) ("internal" is fine for testing) 4. Add OAuth scopes `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly`, `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets` 5. [Create an OAuth Client ID](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/oauthclient) for application type "Desktop App" 6. Download the JSON file of your client's OAuth keys 7. Rename the key file to `gcp-oauth.keys.json` and place into the path you specify with `GDRIVE_CREDS_DIR` (i.e. `/Users/username/.config/mcp-gdrive`) 8. Note your OAuth Client ID and Client Secret. They must be provided as environment variables along with your configuration directory. Make sure to build the server with either `npm run build` or `npm run watch`. ### Installing via Smithery To install drive-mcp for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@rishipradeep-think41/drive-mcp): ```bash npx -y @smithery/cli install @rishipradeep-think41/drive-mcp --client claude ``` ### Authentication Before making requests to Google's APIs, you will be prompted to authenticate with your browser. You must authenticate with an account in the same organization as your Google Cloud project. Your OAuth token is saved in the directory specified by the `GDRIVE_CREDS_DIR` environment variable. ### Usage with Desktop App To integrate this server with the desktop app, add the following to your app's server configuration: ```json { "mcpServers": { "gdrive": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@isaacphi/mcp-gdrive" ], "env": { "CLIENT_ID": "<CLIENT_ID>", "CLIENT_SECRET": "<CLIENT_SECRET>", "GDRIVE_CREDS_DIR": "/path/to/config/directory" } } } } ``` ## License This MCP server is licensed under the MIT License.
