Iris MCP Server

Multi-backend MCP gateway providing Google Drive write access, Notion, and more through a single MCP connector.

Overview

Iris solves the free-tier MCP connector limitation by acting as a gateway: users connect ONE custom connector (Iris) and get access to multiple backend services with full read/write capabilities.

What Iris Provides

Google Drive Backend:

• ✅ iris_drive_write - Create or update files
• ✅ iris_drive_read - Read file contents
• ✅ iris_drive_create_folder - Create folder structures
• ✅ iris_drive_list - List files and folders
• ✅ iris_drive_move - Move or rename files
• ✅ iris_drive_delete - Delete files (with safety confirmation)

Coming Soon:

• Notion backend (read + write)
• Slack backend (send messages)
• Dropbox backend (read + write)

Usage

Multi-Instance System Integration (Example Use Case)

Coordinating instance saves shared notes:

iris_drive_write({
  path: "coordination/shared-notes.md",
  content: "Instance A is handling task X, Instance B is tracking Y...",
  mode: "upsert"
})

Health tracking instance saves wellness data:

iris_drive_write({
  path: "wellness/tracking/2026-03.md",
  content: "# March 2026 Health Log\n\n## Week 1\n- Energy: 7/10\n- Sleep: 8hrs avg\n...",
  mimeType: "text/markdown"
})

Project tracking instance saves application data:

iris_drive_write({
  path: "projects/applications/applied-march.md",
  content: "| Company | Position | Applied | Status |\n|---------|----------|---------|--------|\n...",
  mode: "upsert"
})

Tool Examples

Create folder structure:

iris_drive_create_folder({
  path: "projects/active/project-alpha"
})
// Creates: projects/ → projects/active/ → projects/active/project-alpha/

List files:

iris_drive_list({
  path: "coordination",
  recursive: false,
  type: "both"
})

Read file:

iris_drive_read({
  path: "coordination/memory.md",
  asText: true
})

Move file:

iris_drive_move({
  sourcePath: "old-location/file.md",
  destinationPath: "new-location/file.md"
})

Delete file (with confirmation):

iris_drive_delete({
  path: "temp/old-notes.md",
  confirm: true,
  permanent: false  // Moves to trash, not permanent
})
