Lets an AI assistant search for and read files in a Google Drive account — useful for asking questions about a document without manually opening and pasting it, or having the assistant pull in context from existing docs/sheets while helping with a task.
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"gdrive": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-gdrive"]
}
}
}
```
Requires setting up OAuth credentials through Google Cloud Console and completing an authorization flow before first use — this isn't a drop-in API key like some of the other servers here, so budget time for the setup step the first time.
Review exactly what scope of access you're granting during the OAuth consent screen (read-only vs. edit access, which Drive contents) — grant the narrowest scope that covers what you actually want the assistant to do.
