Use these steps to connect Google Drive in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Claude Desktop

      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-gdrive"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-gdrive"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gdrive": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-gdrive"
