Storage MCP Server
A local MCP server from Google's gcloud-mcp repository for working with Cloud Storage from an AI client.
What it does
A local MCP server from Google's gcloud-mcp repository for working with Cloud Storage from an AI client. It can list, read, write, copy, move, upload and download objects, create and delete buckets, change labels and object metadata, view bucket IAM policies and test permissions, and run BigQuery queries over Storage Insights datasets to filter or aggregate an inventory. Only non-destructive tools are on by default; a flag turns on the ones that change or delete data. It needs Node.js 20 or newer and the gcloud CLI for sign-in, and an init command adds it to Gemini CLI.
