Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Builds a database query by concatenation src/tools/docs.ts:3015
          `To update it, use updateGoogleDoc with documentId: ${existingFileId}`
Secret passed into the image build Dockerfile:22
ENV GOOGLE_DRIVE_MCP_TOKEN_PATH=/config/tokens.json
In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Touches key and credential files .github/workflows/publish.yml:31

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add google-drive-mcp -- npx -y @piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

        "@piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }

      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: GOOGLE_DRIVE_OAUTH_CREDENTIALS (Path to a Google OAuth 2.0 Desktop app credentials JSON file.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

answering

Google Drive MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Google Drive MCP?
Google Drive MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp was installed 4 931 times last week.
How do I connect Google Drive MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Google Drive MCP?
The npm package @piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp was installed 4 931 times in the last week. Week over week that is -22%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Google Drive MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 225 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
