What it does
Google runs this remote MCP server for Google Drive at drivemcp.googleapis.com as part of its Workspace Developer Preview Program. Its eight tools let an agent search a user's Drive, list recently used files, read or download a file's content, look up a file's metadata and sharing permissions, and copy or create files; creating can upload content, make an empty Doc, Sheet or Slides file, or add a folder. No delete tool appears in the list. Before use, the Drive MCP service has to be enabled in a Google Cloud project with an OAuth client, and the user signs in with OAuth 2.0. Google gives setup steps for Antigravity and Claude.
