Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

A futuristic MCP client docking bay
V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Automate a task

Put Google Drive to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Google Drive works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Google Drive to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 15 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Google Drive, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Google Drive. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions Google Drive owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my Google Drive to my AI?

    You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and provide your Google OAuth credentials. Once authorized, you can connect it to any MCP-compatible client like Claude or Cursor.

  • 02

    Can the AI see all my files?

    The AI uses the capabilities provided to access files you authorize through the Google OAuth flow. It can search, list, and manage files based on your specific commands.

  • 03

    Is my data secure?

    The connection uses secure Google OAuth. Vinkius manages the credentials, and you control the permissions granted during the authorization process.

  • 04

    Can I convert Google Docs to PDF?

    Yes. You can use the export capability to convert Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides into formats like PDF or CSV.

  • 05

    What clients can I use this with?

    This MCP works with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 06

    Can I search for files by their content, not just their name?

    Yes! The list_files capability 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.

  • 07

    How do I share a file with someone using the AI agent?

    Use the create_permission capability. 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').

  • 08

    Can I export a Google Sheet to a PDF through the chat?

    Yes. The export_file capability 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.
