README

google-drive-mcp

MCP server to browse and manage Google Drive: search files, read Docs/Sheets content, move/rename files and folders.

Tools (9)

Tool What it does
list_folder List the contents of a folder (root by default)
search_files Search files by name, type or content
get_file_metadata Metadata of a file (name, type, dates, owner)
read_doc_content Read a Google Doc's content as text
read_sheet_as_csv Read a Google Sheet as CSV
get_folder_path Full folder breadcrumb path to a file
move_file Move a file to another folder
rename_file Rename a file or folder
create_folder Create a new folder

Setup

  1. Create a Google Cloud project (or reuse one) and enable the Google Drive API.
  2. Create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID of type "Desktop app" and download it as client_secret.json.
  3. If the app is in "Testing" mode, add your Google account(s) as test users.
  4. Install dependencies:
    python3 -m venv .venv
    source .venv/bin/activate
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    
  5. Run the OAuth flow once per account you want to expose:
    CLIENT_SECRET_PATH=~/.config/google-drive-mcp/client_secret.json \
    TOKEN_OUT=~/.config/google-drive-mcp/token.json \
      python3 setup_auth.py
    
    This opens a browser — log in and grant access. Repeat with a different TOKEN_OUT for each additional account.

MCP client configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-drive": {
      "command": "/path/to/.venv/bin/python3",
      "args": ["/path/to/google-drive-mcp/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_DRIVE_TOKEN_PATH": "~/.config/google-drive-mcp/token.json"
      }
    }
  }
}
Env var Default Purpose
GOOGLE_DRIVE_TOKEN_PATH ~/.config/google-drive-mcp/token.json Path to the OAuth token for this account

Notes

  • Scope used is https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive (read + write) — needed for move_file, rename_file and create_folder to work. A drive.readonly token will fail on those three.
