Overview

MCP GDrive is a server application that integrates with Google Drive, allowing users to read, search, and edit Google Sheets directly through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

To use MCP GDrive, set up a Google Cloud project, enable the Google Drive API, configure OAuth consent, and authenticate your application. You can then use various tools provided to interact with files and spreadsheets.

  • Search files in Google Drive with flexible queries. - Read contents of files stored in Google Drive. - Access and read data from Google Sheets with customizable range options. - Update specific cell values in Google Sheets.
  1. Automating data retrieval and updates in Google Sheets.
  2. Extracting and processing file contents stored in Google Drive.
  3. Building applications that require dynamic interaction with Google Drive and Sheets.

Cursor

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

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

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

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
