What is the Google Drive MCP Server?
Connect your Google Drive to your AI agent and transform how you interact with your cloud storage. Use natural language to find documents, manage sharing permissions, organize folders, and audit your file history across your entire drive.
What you can do
- Deep Search — Find files instantly using natural language queries (e.g., 'Find all PDFs from last week')
- File & Folder Management — Create, update, copy, and delete files or folders directly through the chat
- Sharing & Permissions — Audit who has access to your sensitive documents and add or remove permissions securely
- Content Conversion — Export Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides to formats like PDF or CSV with simple commands
- Version Control — List file revisions to track changes and see the evolution of your documents over time
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Google OAuth Client ID and Secret
- Complete the secure Google authorization flow
- Start managing your files from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Stop digging through nested folders. Your AI agent acts as your personal file librarian, keeping your cloud storage clean and accessible.

Frequently asked questions
Can I search for files by their content, not just their name?
Yes! The list_files tool uses Google Drive's powerful search engine. You can use queries like 'fullText contains "marketing plan"' to find files based on the text inside them.
How do I share a file with someone using the AI agent?
Use the create_permission tool. You just need to provide the File ID, the person's email address, and the role you want to grant (e.g., 'reader', 'commenter', or 'writer').
Can I export a Google Sheet to a PDF through the chat?
Yes. The export_file tool allows you to specify a Google Doc/Sheet/Slide ID and a target MIME type like application/pdf. The agent will initiate the export for you.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
