No install snippet on purpose. A working MCP config is a command, its arguments and an environment block — the last two are where API keys live, so this catalogue never stores them and cannot publish them. Follow the link above for the authors' own instructions.

A1 Google Drive MCP lets an AI app work with your Google Drive in plain language. Find a file, tidy up folders, upload and download content, export a Doc as Markdown, share it with the right people — and keep the trash between you and permanent deletion.

It uses the Google Drive API with your Google account. It sees My Drive and shared drives alike, treats “delete” as the reversible trash and makes the limits of the Drive API explicit instead of implying that every file task is possible.

15 tools. Search and metadata, folders and moving, upload and download, export of Docs/Sheets/Slides, the trash, sharing and comments.
The trash comes first. “Delete” means the reversible trash; permanent deletion is a deliberately separate tool that cannot be picked by accident.
Documents stay intact. Docs, Sheets and Slides move, copy, export and convert as whole files — the server never edits the text inside them.
You choose the scope. drive.readonly covers every read and drive.file limits access to app-created files; the full tool surface needs drive.

Start with a read-only question:

Find the project roadmap doc in my Drive, export it to Markdown and summarize it.

You: Show me what’s in the “Contracts 2025” folder, newest first.

Assistant: Lists the files with their types, owners and modification dates. Nothing changes.

You: Prepare an “Archive” subfolder and move everything older than a year into it.

Assistant: Shows the folder it would create and the files it would move, then asks for confirmation.

You: Confirm.

Assistant: Creates the folder and moves the files. Nothing is shared, trashed or deleted unless you ask separately.
