Google Drive MCP Server

Connect Google Drive to Claude Code with a simple double-click setup. This MCP server allows Claude to read, create, update, and manage files in your Google Drive.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10 or higher
  • A Google Account (personal or Google Workspace)
  • Google Cloud Console access

Step 1: Create Google Cloud Credentials

1.1 Create a Google Cloud Project

  1. Go to Google Cloud Console
  2. Click the project dropdown at the top of the page
  3. Click New Project
  4. Enter a project name (e.g., "Google Drive MCP")
  5. Click Create
  6. Wait for the project to be created, then select it

1.2 Enable the Google Drive API

  1. In the Google Cloud Console, go to APIs & Services > Library
  2. Search for "Google Drive API"
  3. Click on Google Drive API
  4. Click Enable

1.3 Configure OAuth Consent Screen

  1. Go to APIs & Services > OAuth consent screen
  2. Select External (or Internal if using Google Workspace)
  3. Click Create
  4. Fill in the required fields:
    • App name: Google Drive MCP
    • User support email: Your email
    • Developer contact email: Your email
  5. Click Save and Continue
  6. On the Scopes page, click Add or Remove Scopes
  7. Add these scopes:
    • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly
    • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file
    • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive
  8. Click Update, then Save and Continue
  9. On the Test users page, click Add Users
  10. Add your email address
  11. Click Save and Continue

1.4 Create OAuth Client ID

  1. Go to APIs & Services > Credentials
  2. Click Create Credentials > OAuth client ID
  3. Select Desktop app as the application type
  4. Enter a name (e.g., "Google Drive MCP Desktop")
  5. Click Create
  6. Click Download JSON on the popup
  7. Rename the downloaded file to credentials.json
  8. Place credentials.json in the project root directory

Important: The credentials must be of type "Desktop app", not "Web application".

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Option A: Using Virtual Environment (Recommended)

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/david-valdivia/GoogleDriveMCP.git
cd GoogleDriveMCP

# Create virtual environment (Python 3.10+ required)
python3 -m venv .venv

# Activate virtual environment
# On macOS/Linux:
source .venv/bin/activate
# On Windows:
.venv\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Option B: Global Installation

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 3: Run the Setup GUI

# With virtual environment activated
python -m src.main

This opens the setup window where you can:

  1. Select your permission level (Read Only, Read + Create, or Full Access)
  2. Click "Connect to Google" to authenticate
  3. Complete the OAuth flow in your browser
  4. Click "Configure MCP" to select a project directory for Claude Code

Step 4: Build the Executable (Optional)

Build a standalone executable that doesn't require Python:

# With virtual environment activated
python build/build.py

Build Output

Platform Output
macOS build/dist/Google Drive MCP.app and build/dist/googledrive-mcp
Windows build/dist/googledrive-mcp.exe
Linux build/dist/googledrive-mcp

macOS Additional Requirements

If building on macOS, you need Tcl/Tk for the GUI:

# Install Homebrew if not already installed
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

# Install Python with Tcl/Tk support
brew install python-tk@3.12

Step 5: Configure Claude Code

After authentication, the app automatically creates a .mcp.json file in your selected project directory. Alternatively, create it manually:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "googledrive": {
      "command": "/path/to/googledrive-mcp",
      "args": ["--serve"]
    }
  }
}

Replace /path/to/googledrive-mcp with:

  • Built executable: Full path to googledrive-mcp or googledrive-mcp.exe
  • From source: Full path to Python and script, e.g.:
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "googledrive": {
          "command": "/path/to/.venv/bin/python",
          "args": ["/path/to/GoogleDriveMCP/src/main.py", "--serve"]
        }
      }
    }

Token Storage Location

Tokens are stored in platform-specific locations:

Platform Location
macOS ~/Library/Application Support/GoogleDriveMCP/
Windows %APPDATA%\GoogleDriveMCP\
Linux ~/.config/GoogleDriveMCP/

Troubleshooting

"credentials.json not found"

Make sure credentials.json is in the project root directory (same folder as src/).

"Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch"

Your OAuth credentials are configured as "Web application" instead of "Desktop app". Create new credentials with type "Desktop app".

"Access blocked: This app's request is invalid"

  1. Make sure you added yourself as a test user in the OAuth consent screen
  2. Verify the app is in "Testing" mode (not "In production")

"ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'"

On macOS with Homebrew Python:

brew install python-tk@3.12

On Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt-get install python3-tk

MCP server not connecting in Claude Code

  1. Verify the path in .mcp.json is correct and absolute
  2. Restart Claude Code after creating/modifying .mcp.json
  3. Check that the executable has execute permissions: chmod +x googledrive-mcp
