Read and write bucket files in Claude Desktop

`get_object` pulls raw file contents from your Google Cloud Storage Bucket directly into your Claude Desktop chat window. Your agent reads the data immediately without you downloading files manually to your local machine. When you need to save your chat output, `put_object` writes the data straight back to your cloud bucket. This MCP setup keeps your files in the cloud while your local Claude Desktop client handles the heavy processing.

Inspect bucket contents on demand

`list_objects` lets Claude Desktop scan your Google Cloud Storage Bucket to find specific files without opening the GCP console. Your agent views file names and metadata directly in the terminal or chat window. This means your agent can locate old logs or reports instantly. You don't have to search through web UIs when Claude Desktop can query the bucket directly using this MCP Server.

Clean up cloud storage from your chat

`delete_object` removes obsolete files from your Google Cloud Storage Bucket when Claude Desktop finishes processing them. Your agent executes the deletion instantly based on your explicit chat commands. It prevents your cloud storage from filling up with temporary files or outdated logs. This keeps your Google Cloud bills predictable while using the Claude Desktop application.
