Google Drive MCP server
Your agent finds the right file, reads it and writes the next one.
Offre gratuite · sans carte bancaire · configuration en 2 minutes
Connect Google Drive and your agent can search your files by name or content, read Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDF and Word files as text, and create new Google Docs from Markdown. It can copy a template, fill in its placeholders and share the result.
Reading returns plain text, so the agent works with the content of a contract or a brief instead of a file id. Writes such as sharing a file go through your approval first.
Tools
What your agent can do in Google Drive
Typed tools with input schemas, so the agent calls them right the first time. Account tools are free on every plan.
drive.files.searchFind files by name or content, type or folder.
drive.file.readRead the text of a Doc, Sheet, Slides deck, PDF, Word or Excel file.
docs.createCreate a Google Doc from Markdown, plain text or HTML.
drive.file.copyCopy a file, for example a template Doc to fill in.
docs.replaceFind and replace text in a Doc, to fill a template’s placeholders.
drive.file.uploadUpload a file from a URL, the media library or content.
drive.file.shareShare a file or folder with someone or by link, or remove access.
A watch on Drive files uses Google Drive push channels, so new and changed files reach the agent as they happen.
