Google Drive MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides secure integration with Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides. It allows Claude Desktop and other MCP clients to manage files in Google Drive through a standardized interface.

Features

  • Multi-format Support: Work with Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and regular files
  • File Management: Create, update, delete, rename, and move files and folders
  • Advanced Search: Search across your entire Google Drive
  • Folder Navigation: List and navigate through folder hierarchies with path support (e.g., /Work/Projects)
  • MCP Resource Protocol: Files accessible as MCP resources for reading content
  • Secure Authentication: OAuth 2.0 with automatic token refresh

Example Usage

This MCP server enables powerful file management workflows through natural language:

1. Document Creation and Organization

Create a new Google Doc called "Project Plan" in the folder /Work/Projects
with an outline for our Q1 initiatives including milestones and deliverables.

2. File Search and Organization

Search for files containing "budget" and organize them by moving each one
to the appropriate folder in your Drive hierarchy.

3. Spreadsheet Creation

Create a Google Sheet called "Sales Analysis 2024" with columns for Date, Product,
Quantity, and Revenue to track your sales data.

4. Presentation Creation

Create a presentation called "Product Roadmap" with slides outlining
our Q1 milestones, key features, and timeline.

5. Spreadsheet Updates

Update the "Team Contacts" spreadsheet with new employee information
by modifying specific cells or ranges with the provided data.

6. Document Search

Search for documents in the /Reports folder and create a summary
document listing the files you found.

7. Folder and Document Creation

Create a Templates folder and add standard documents like
a Meeting Notes template, Project Proposal template,
and Budget Spreadsheet template.

Requirements

  • Node.js: Version 18 or higher (LTS recommended)
  • Google Cloud Project: With the following APIs enabled:
    • Google Drive API
    • Google Docs API
    • Google Sheets API
    • Google Slides API
  • OAuth 2.0 Credentials: Desktop application type (Client ID only - no client secret required)

Google Cloud Setup

1. Create a Google Cloud Project

  • Go to the Google Cloud Console
  • Click "Select a project" > "New Project"
  • Name your project (e.g., "Google Drive MCP")
  • Note the Project ID for later

2. Enable Required APIs

  • In your project, go to "APIs & Services" > "Library"
  • Search for and enable each of these APIs:
    • Google Drive API
    • Google Docs API
    • Google Sheets API
    • Google Slides API
  • Wait for each API to be enabled before proceeding

3. Configure OAuth Consent Screen

  • Go to "APIs & Services" > "OAuth consent screen"
  • Under 'Branding' fill in the required fields:
    • App name: "My Personal Google Drive MCP"
    • User support email: Your email
    • Developer contact: Your email
  • Under 'Audience':
    • Choose "External" (default choice) or "Internal" for Google Workspace accounts
    • Add your email as a test user
  • Under 'Data Access' add scopes. The recommended set of scopes for best user experience is the following:
    • ./auth/drive.file
    • .../auth/documents
    • .../auth/spreadsheets
    • .../auth/presentations
    • .../auth/drive
    • .../auth/drive.readonly

4. Create OAuth 2.0 Credentials

  • Go to "APIs & Services" > "Credentials"
  • Click "+ CREATE CREDENTIALS" > "OAuth client ID"
  • Application type: Desktop app (Important!)
  • Name: "Google Drive MCP Client"
  • Click "Create"
  • Download the JSON file
  • Rename it to gcp-oauth.keys.json

Installation

Option 1: Use with npx (Recommended)

You can run the server directly without installation:

# Run the server (authentication happens automatically on first run)
npx @piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp

# Optional: Run authentication manually if needed
npx @piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp auth

Option 2: Local Installation

  1. Clone and install:

    git clone https://github.com/piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp.git
    cd google-drive-mcp
    npm install
    
  2. Set up credentials:

    # Copy the example file
    cp gcp-oauth.keys.example.json gcp-oauth.keys.json
    
    # Edit gcp-oauth.keys.json with your OAuth client ID
    
  3. Authenticate (optional):

    npm run auth
    

    Note: Authentication happens automatically on first run of an MCP client if you skip this step.

Docker Usage

Prerequisites

  1. Authenticate locally first - Docker containers cannot open browsers for OAuth:

    # Using npx
    npx @piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp auth
    
    # Or using local installation
    npm run auth
    
  2. Verify token location:

    ls -la ~/.config/google-drive-mcp/tokens.json
    

Building the Docker Image

  1. Build the project (required before Docker build):

    npm install
    npm run build
    
  2. Build the Docker image:

    docker build -t google-drive-mcp .
    

Running the Docker Container

Run the container with your credentials and tokens mounted:

docker run -it \
  -v /path/to/gcp-oauth.keys.json:/config/gcp-oauth.keys.json:ro \
  -v ~/.config/google-drive-mcp/tokens.json:/config/tokens.json \
  google-drive-mcp

Important Notes:

  • Replace /path/to/gcp-oauth.keys.json with the actual path to your OAuth credentials
  • The :ro flag mounts the credentials as read-only for security
  • Tokens are mounted read-write to allow automatic refresh
  • The container runs as non-root user for security

Docker Configuration for Claude Desktop

Add this configuration to use the Docker container with Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-drive": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "-v",
        "/path/to/gcp-oauth.keys.json:/config/gcp-oauth.keys.json:ro",
        "-v",
        "/Users/yourname/.config/google-drive-mcp/tokens.json:/config/tokens.json",
        "google-drive-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Docker-specific notes:

  • Uses -i for interactive mode (required for MCP stdio communication)
  • Uses --rm to automatically remove the container after exit
  • No port mapping needed (MCP uses stdio, not HTTP)
  • Environment variables are set in the Dockerfile

Configuration

OAuth Credentials Configuration

The server supports multiple methods for providing OAuth credentials (in order of priority):

1. Environment Variable (Recommended)
export GOOGLE_DRIVE_OAUTH_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/your/gcp-oauth.keys.json"
2. Default File Location

Place gcp-oauth.keys.json in the project root directory

Token Storage

Authentication tokens are stored securely following the XDG Base Directory specification:

PriorityLocationConfiguration
1Custom pathSet GOOGLE_DRIVE_MCP_TOKEN_PATH environment variable
2XDG Config$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/google-drive-mcp/tokens.json
3Default~/.config/google-drive-mcp/tokens.json

Security Notes:

  • Tokens are created with secure permissions (0600)
  • Never commit tokens to version control
  • Tokens auto-refresh before expiration
  • Google OAuth apps in "Testing" status have refresh tokens that expire after 7 days (Google's policy)

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add the server to your Claude Desktop configuration:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Using npx (Recommended):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-drive": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_DRIVE_OAUTH_CREDENTIALS": "/path/to/your/gcp-oauth.keys.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using Local Installation:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-drive": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/google-drive-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_DRIVE_OAUTH_CREDENTIALS": "/path/to/your/gcp-oauth.keys.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: Replace /path/to/your/gcp-oauth.keys.json with the actual path to your OAuth credentials file.

Authentication Flow

The server uses OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication:

Automatic Authentication (First Run)

  1. Server detects missing tokens and starts local auth server
  2. Your browser opens to Google's consent page
  3. Grant the requested permissions
  4. Tokens are saved securely to ~/.config/google-drive-mcp/tokens.json
  5. Server continues startup

Token Management

  • Automatic Refresh: Tokens refresh automatically before expiration
  • Secure Storage: Tokens stored with 0600 permissions
  • Migration: Legacy tokens are automatically migrated to secure location

Manual Re-authentication

Run the auth command when you need to:

  • Switch Google accounts
  • Refresh expired tokens (Google expires refresh tokens after 7 days for apps in "Testing" status)
  • Recover from revoked access
# Using npx
npx @piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp auth

# Using local installation
npm run auth

Security

Security Features

  • No Client Secrets: Desktop OAuth flow works with client ID only
  • Secure Token Storage: Tokens stored with 0600 permissions in XDG-compliant location
  • Scoped Access: Minimal permissions requested (drive.file, documents, spreadsheets, presentations)
  • Local Execution: All processing happens on your machine
  • Automatic Token Refresh: Reduces need for re-authentication
  • Token Migration: Legacy tokens automatically moved to secure location

Best Practices

  1. Never commit credentials: Add to .gitignore:

    gcp-oauth.keys.json
    client_secret*.json
    .config/
    
  2. Use environment variables for production:

    export GOOGLE_DRIVE_OAUTH_CREDENTIALS="/secure/path/credentials.json"
    export GOOGLE_DRIVE_MCP_TOKEN_PATH="/secure/path/tokens.json"
    
  3. Monitor access:

    • Check recent activity in Google Drive
    • Review OAuth app permissions regularly

Revoking OAuth Access

If you need to revoke the Google Drive MCP's access to your Google account:

  1. Visit Google Account Permissions
  2. Find "Google Drive MCP" or your custom app name in the list
  3. Click on it and select "Remove Access"
  4. Clear local tokens to complete the revocation:
    rm ~/.config/google-drive-mcp/tokens.json
    

After revoking access, you'll need to re-authenticate the next time you use the server.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

"OAuth credentials not found"
OAuth credentials not found. Please provide credentials using one of these methods:
1. Environment variable:
   export GOOGLE_DRIVE_OAUTH_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/gcp-oauth.keys.json"
2. Default file path:
   Place your gcp-oauth.keys.json file in the package root directory.

Solution:

  • Download credentials from Google Cloud Console
  • Either set the environment variable or place the file in the project root
  • Ensure the file has proper read permissions
"Authentication failed" or Browser doesn't open

Possible causes:

  1. Wrong credential type: Must be "Desktop app", not "Web application"
  2. Port blocked: Ports 3000-3004 must be available
  3. Test user not added: Add your email in OAuth consent screen

Solution:

# Check if ports are in use
lsof -i :3000-3004

# Kill processes if needed
kill -9 <PID>

# Re-run authentication
npx @piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp auth
"Tokens expired" or "Invalid grant"

For Google OAuth apps in "Testing" status:

  • Google automatically expires refresh tokens after 7 days
  • You'll need to re-authenticate weekly until you publish your app

Solution:

# Clear old tokens and re-authenticate
rm ~/.config/google-drive-mcp/tokens.json
npx @piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp auth

For production:

  • Move app to "Published" status in Google Cloud Console
  • Complete OAuth verification process
"Login Required" error even with valid tokens

If you updated the OAuth scopes but still get errors:

  • Google caches app authorizations even after removing local tokens
  • The app might be using old/limited scopes

Solution:

  1. Go to Google Account Permissions
  2. Find and remove access for "Google Drive MCP"
  3. Clear local tokens: rm ~/.config/google-drive-mcp/tokens.json
  4. Re-authenticate to grant all required scopes
  5. Verify the consent screen shows ALL scopes including full Drive access
"API not enabled" errors
Error: Google Sheets API has not been used in project...

Solution:

  1. Go to Google Cloud Console
  2. Select your project
  3. Navigate to "APIs & Services" > "Library"
  4. Search and enable the missing API
  5. Wait 1-2 minutes for propagation
"Insufficient permissions"

Check scopes in your credentials:

  • Need drive.file or drive scope
  • Need docs, sheets, slides scopes for respective services

Solution:

  • Re-create OAuth credentials with correct scopes
  • Re-authenticate after updating credentials
Rate Limiting (429 errors)

Google API Quotas:

  • Drive API: 12,000 requests per minute
  • Docs/Sheets/Slides: 300 requests per minute

Solution:

  • Implement exponential backoff
  • Batch operations where possible
  • Check quota usage in Google Cloud Console

Docker-Specific Issues

"Authentication required" in Docker

Problem: The MCP server in Docker shows authentication errors even though you have valid tokens.

Cause: OAuth flow requires browser access, which isn't available in Docker containers.

Solution:

# 1. Authenticate outside Docker first
npx @piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp auth

# 2. Verify tokens exist
ls -la ~/.config/google-drive-mcp/tokens.json

# 3. Run Docker with tokens mounted
docker run -it \
  -v $(pwd)/gcp-oauth.keys.json:/config/gcp-oauth.keys.json:ro \
  -v ~/.config/google-drive-mcp/tokens.json:/config/tokens.json \
  google-drive-mcp
"npm ci failed" during Docker build

Problem: Docker build fails with tsc: not found or similar errors.

Solution:

# Build the project locally first
npm install
npm run build

# Then build Docker image
docker build -t google-drive-mcp .

The Dockerfile expects the dist/ directory to exist from your local build.

"Token refresh failed" in Docker

Problem: Tokens can't refresh inside the container.

Solution: Ensure the token file is mounted with write permissions:

# Correct: tokens can be updated
-v ~/.config/google-drive-mcp/tokens.json:/config/tokens.json

# Wrong: read-only mount prevents token refresh
-v ~/.config/google-drive-mcp/tokens.json:/config/tokens.json:ro

Debug Mode

Enable detailed logging:

# Set debug environment variable
export DEBUG=google-drive-mcp:*
npx @piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp

Getting Help

  1. Check logs: Server logs errors to stderr
  2. Verify setup: Run npx @piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp help
  3. Test auth: Run npx @piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp auth
  4. Report issues: GitHub Issues
