Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Colab Drive MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Claude Code Claude Desktop Codex Cursor VS Code

run in your terminal

claude mcp add colab-drive-mcp -- uvx colab-drive-mcp

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: COLAB_MCP_ROOT (Absolute local directory that bounds notebook file access.), COLAB_MCP_DRIVE_ACCESS (Google Drive access mode: file for minimal access or full for discovering existing notebooks.), COLAB_MCP_GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS (Optional path to the local Google OAuth Desktop client JSON.), COLAB_MCP_GOOGLE_TOKEN (Optional path to the local Google OAuth token JSON.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Colab Drive MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Colab Drive MCP?

Colab 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 pypi package colab-drive-mcp was installed 110 times last week.

How do I connect Colab 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 colab-drive-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Colab Drive MCP?

The pypi package colab-drive-mcp was installed 110 times in the last week. Week over week that is -1%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Colab Drive MCP open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
