Google Drive MCP

Connect an MCP client to Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Calendar through one self-hosted server. Search and organize files, create and edit Workspace content, manage sharing, and automate multi-step workflows while keeping control of the Google identity and credentials used for every call. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting documentation tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
