Access and manage files, folders and shared content stored in Google Drive. Upload, download, organize and search documents while working with permissions and collaborative file storage.
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available as a desktop app and in Cowork. It supports custom connectors, so it can call MCP servers directly from a chat.
This guide connects Google Drive to Claude Desktop through MewCP, so Claude Desktop can use Google Drive's 9 tools, like list_files, get_file_metadata and download_file, without your Google Drive credentials ever reaching the app.
Google Drive signs in through managed OAuth. MewCP stores the token encrypted, refreshes it before it expires and injects it only at call time. Your agent never holds it, so it can never leak it.

Other clients
Google Drive works the same way in every client below. Pick yours for its own guide.
Free to start.
Scope access to the exact Google Drive tools and accounts you allow, work and personal side by side. Anything outside that scope is refused at call time, even when the model asks for it.
Each call is logged: what ran, on which account, and whether it worked. Failures come back structured, so the agent knows whether to retry instead of guessing.
Every app sits behind one secure MCP URL, and there is no server for you to deploy or keep running. Add an integration in the dashboard and it is live on the next call, with no config to change and no new credentials to wire up. Tools load only when a task needs them, so your agent stays fast and focused however many apps you connect.
In Claude, open Settings → Connectors, then choose Add custom connector.
Name it "mewcp" and paste the URL.
A browser window opens the first time the client connects. Sign in and approve access. No API key needed.
