Google Drive MCP servers: which one to use
In Claude, add Google's own Drive connector and sign in with Google. Pick a community server for more tools or a setup you run yourself.

Google runs its own Google Drive MCP server, and Claude lists it in its connector directory. You add it, sign in with Google, and Claude can search, read, upload and share your files. It is a Developer Preview in Google's docs. Community servers run on your computer with your own Google OAuth app. Some cover Docs, Sheets and Calendar too. Any of them can trash or share files, so grant only the Drive access you need.
Good for
- Anyone who wants Claude to find and summarize files in Google Drive
- Teams who want an assistant to upload files and manage sharing
- Developers who want Drive plus Docs, Sheets and Slides tools in one server
- Security-minded users who prefer to run the server and OAuth app themselves
Which Google Drive MCP server to use
Use Google's Drive connector if you only need to find, read and upload files in Claude. Pick google_workspace_mcp when you also want Gmail and Calendar, or piotr-agier's google-drive-mcp for the deepest Drive, Docs and Sheets editing.

Questions
Is there an official Google Drive MCP server?
Yes. Google runs it at https://drivemcp.googleapis.com/mcp/v1, and Anthropic's connector directory lists it as made by Google. Google's docs label the Workspace MCP servers a Developer Preview.
How do I add it to Claude?
Add the Google Drive connector from Claude's connector directory and sign in with Google. Use the install box on its page for the exact steps.
What can Google's Drive connector do?
The directory lists tools to search files, read content, list recent files, view permissions, create, copy, update and download files, share files and trash files.
Can I make it read-only?
Google's docs list a read-only Drive scope next to the read-write one, so you can grant only the read scope. google_workspace_mcp also has a --read-only option.
Can it delete my files?
It can move them to the trash. Google's connector has a trash tool and a share tool. Use a read-only scope when you only need answers.
Does it work in ChatGPT?
google_workspace_mcp documents ChatGPT through Developer Mode. For Google's own connector, the sources name Claude (Anthropic's directory) and Claude and Antigravity (Google's docs). piotr-agier's google-drive-mcp lists Claude Desktop and claude.ai custom connectors.
Do I need my own Google Cloud project?
For all the community servers, yes. You create an OAuth client in Google Cloud and pass it to the server. Google's Workspace MCP docs also describe a Cloud project and OAuth client for its servers, while Claude's directory connector only asks you to sign in.
Does it cover Docs, Sheets and Slides?
Google's connector reads Docs, Sheets, Slides and PDFs as files. For editing, piotr-agier's server lists tools for Docs, Sheets formatting and Slides. google_workspace_mcp covers them too.
Are the community servers free?
Yes, the software is free. google_workspace_mcp, piotr-agier's google-drive-mcp and mcp-drive are MIT-licensed on GitHub, and domdomegg's google-drive-mcp declares MIT in its package.json. You need a Google account and a Google Cloud project to run them.
