Search Google Drive, check file details, and export Google Workspace files from Claude or Cursor.

What it can do

• search-files - Find Drive files by text, file type, sort order, and page token.
• get-file-metadata - Get one file's name, owners, timestamps, size, parent folders, and Drive links.
• export-file - Export a Google Workspace file to plain text or another MIME type so your MCP client can read it.

Setup

Set this env var before you start the server:

• GOOGLE_DRIVE_ACCESS_TOKEN - A Google OAuth access token with Google Drive access. Get one from Google's OAuth 2.0 Playground: https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/ . If you need help with scopes or auth setup, use the Drive auth guide: https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/guides/api-specific-auth

This token expires, so refresh it when Google tells you it has expired.
