Iris MCP Server
A multi-backend gateway that enables access to various services like Google Drive and Notion through a single MCP connector. It currently provides comprehensive Google Drive integration for reading, writing, and managing files and folders.
README
Iris MCP Server
Multi-backend MCP gateway providing Google Drive write access, Notion, and more through a single MCP connector.
Overview
Iris solves the free-tier MCP connector limitation by acting as a gateway: users connect ONE custom connector (Iris) and get access to multiple backend services with full read/write capabilities.
What Iris Provides
Google Drive Backend:
- ✅
iris_drive_write- Create or update files - ✅
iris_drive_read- Read file contents - ✅
iris_drive_create_folder- Create folder structures - ✅
iris_drive_list- List files and folders - ✅
iris_drive_move- Move or rename files - ✅
iris_drive_delete- Delete files (with safety confirmation)
Coming Soon:
- Notion backend (read + write)
- Slack backend (send messages)
- Dropbox backend (read + write)

Usage
Multi-Instance System Integration (Example Use Case)
Coordinating instance saves shared notes:
iris_drive_write({
path: "coordination/shared-notes.md",
content: "Instance A is handling task X, Instance B is tracking Y...",
mode: "upsert"
})
Health tracking instance saves wellness data:
iris_drive_write({
path: "wellness/tracking/2026-03.md",
content: "# March 2026 Health Log\n\n## Week 1\n- Energy: 7/10\n- Sleep: 8hrs avg\n...",
mimeType: "text/markdown"
})
Project tracking instance saves application data:
iris_drive_write({
path: "projects/applications/applied-march.md",
content: "| Company | Position | Applied | Status |\n|---------|----------|---------|--------|\n...",
mode: "upsert"
})
Tool Examples
Create folder structure:
iris_drive_create_folder({
path: "projects/active/project-alpha"
})
// Creates: projects/ → projects/active/ → projects/active/project-alpha/
List files:
iris_drive_list({
path: "coordination",
recursive: false,
type: "both"
})
Read file:
iris_drive_read({
path: "coordination/memory.md",
asText: true
})
Move file:
iris_drive_move({
sourcePath: "old-location/file.md",
destinationPath: "new-location/file.md"
})
Delete file (with confirmation):
iris_drive_delete({
path: "temp/old-notes.md",
confirm: true,
permanent: false // Moves to trash, not permanent
})
