Google Drive (reference, archived)

§1What it does

Archived reference server that lets agents search Google Drive and read files, converting Google Docs, Sheets and Slides to readable formats. Requires a Google Cloud OAuth setup.

§2Setup

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gdrive": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-gdrive"]
    }
  }
}

Snippets adapted from the official documentation. Check the official page for current options and auth requirements.

§2bWhen you disconnect

1. Removed locallyClear the sign-in or remove the server in your MCP client (for example claude mcp logout or claude mcp remove in Claude Code, or log out of the server in Cursor). This only deletes the client's copy of the tokens.
2. Authorization revokedRevoke the grant on Model Context Protocol's app-permissions page: Google Account → linked apps ↗. This is what stops the refresh token; clearing the client alone is not enough.

Why both steps: OAuth token refresh in the security checklist.

§3Prompts to try
