Ground LlamaIndex answers in Drive data

Turn your files into a searchable knowledge base by feeding them into your index. Use `list_files` and `get_file_metadata` to gather content for your vector store. You stop relying on hallucinations. Your agent pulls facts directly from the documents it finds in your account.

Automate file organization for LlamaIndex

Keep your indexed data tidy by using programmatic file manipulation. Call `copy_file` or `delete_file` to manage the documents your agent processes. You save time by letting the agent sort files as it reads them. The MCP Server executes these actions in the background while the index updates.

Audit access and revisions within LlamaIndex

Check who can see your indexed files using `list_permissions`. You can also review changes with `list_revisions` to ensure your agent uses the correct version. Your security posture remains visible. You verify document access before the agent includes the data in its response.

Setup guide

Set up Google Drive MCP in LlamaIndex

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
llama-index-tools-mcp package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install llama-index-tools-mcp llama-index-llms-openai. The MCP tools package provides BasicMCPClient and McpToolSpec.
2

Connect with BasicMCPClient
Point BasicMCPClient to your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. Supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports.
3

Convert to LlamaIndex tools
Call mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async() to convert all Google Drive MCP tools into native FunctionTool objects that any LlamaIndex agent can use.
4

Run with any LLM
Create a FunctionAgent with the tools and your preferred LLM. Swap OpenAI for Anthropic, Gemini, or any LlamaIndex-supported provider.

agent.py

from llama_index.tools.mcp import BasicMCPClient, McpToolSpec
from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import FunctionAgent
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

# Connect to the MCP
mcp_client = BasicMCPClient(
    "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)
mcp_tool_spec = McpToolSpec(client=mcp_client)

# Convert MCP tools to LlamaIndex tools
tools = await mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async()

# Create and run the agent
agent = FunctionAgent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=OpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
    system_prompt="You have access to Google Drive tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent Google Drive data")

Common questions about Google Drive MCP in LlamaIndex

The framework queries the MCP Server to retrieve file lists and metadata. It then processes that information into a searchable index for your agent.

You can use `export_file` to convert sheets into readable formats. The resulting data is then ingested into your knowledge base for better retrieval.

All actions performed via the tools are recorded by the Google Drive API. You can check these logs to monitor how your agent interacts with your files.

It accesses only what your credentials allow. You define the scope, and the server respects those limits during every tool call.

The server acts as a thin layer for API requests. It does not store your files; it only facilitates the connection between your agent and the storage service.
