Google Drive

The reference @modelcontextprotocol/server-gdrive was archived. This entry tracks @isaacphi/mcp-gdrive, which extends the original surface with Sheets editing and uses a cleaner OAuth flow than the reference implementation ever shipped. What it does: - Lists Drive folders and searches Drive by query string, name, or mimeType - Exports Docs, Sheets, and Slides to text or markdown via the Drive export API - Reads and writes individual Sheets cells and ranges with A1 notation - Appends rows to a Sheets tab without re-reading the entire sheet first - Handles OAuth 2.0 user-delegated auth with transparent token refresh - Honours a configurable scope list so an operator can strip write access at the transport layer Example: Connect with drive.file scope and ask "find last quarter's board deck in Shared Drives, export it to markdown, and summarise the key asks" — the agent searches, exports, and summarises without ever seeing the user's entire Drive. Setup: Run "npx -y @isaacphi/mcp-gdrive" and on first launch the server opens a browser tab for the OAuth consent screen. A client ID and secret from a Google Cloud Project are required; the repo README walks through the Cloud Console steps. Transport: stdio for local use. Tokens persist to a config file in the XDG config dir so a second launch does not re-prompt. Notes: If you only need read access, set the scope to drive.readonly — the server then rejects writes at the tool level. Service-account auth is not supported; this is a user-delegated server, which is the right tradeoff for personal workflows but wrong for headless CI.
