Google Drive MCP

Auto-size one or more columns to fit their content. Indices are 0-based and the interval is half-open [startColumn, endColumn) — to auto-fit a single column at position 5, pass startColumn: 5, endColumn: 6.

Auto-size one or more rows to fit their content. Indices are 0-based and the interval is half-open [startRow, endRow) — to auto-fit a single row at position 5, pass startRow: 5, endRow: 6.

Write many ranges in ONE call via spreadsheets.values.batchUpdate. Ranges may sit on different sheets of the same spreadsheet. Prefer this over repeated updateGoogleSheet calls whenever more than one range changes: N separate writes cost N round trips and N units of the per-minute write quota, while one batch costs one of each.

Convert all PDFs in a folder into Google Docs and return per-file results

Convert an existing PDF in Drive into an editable Google Doc

Creates a copy of a Google Drive file or document

Create a new calendar event. Supports timed events, all-day events, and Google Meet integration.

Create a Google Doc from HTML content in a single Drive API call. HTML tags are converted to native Google Doc styles: <h1> → Heading 1, <h2> → Heading 2, <p> → Normal Text, <b> → bold, <i> → italic, <ul>/<ol> → lists, <table> → tables. Useful when you want native heading/list/table styling applied in one request instead of a createGoogleDoc call followed by per-paragraph formatGoogleDocParagraph requests.

Create a new folder in Google Drive

Create a footnote in a Google Doc. Footnotes cannot be inserted inside equations, headers, footers, or other footnotes. For multi-tab docs, specify tabId to target a specific tab.

Create a new Google Doc

Create a new Google Sheet. By default uses RAW mode which stores values as-is. Set valueInputOption to 'USER_ENTERED' only when you need formulas to be evaluated.

Create a new Google Slides presentation

Create a shape in Google Slides

Create a text box in Google Slides

Add or remove bullet points / numbered lists on paragraphs in a Google Doc. Target paragraphs by startIndex+endIndex or textToFind. Use bulletPreset='NONE' to remove bullets.

Create a shortcut (link) to a file or folder in Google Drive. Useful for referencing the same document from multiple locations without duplicating it.

Create a new text or markdown file

Delete a calendar event

Delete a comment from the document

Remove a row or column group from a sheet. The rows/columns themselves are kept; only the grouping is removed. Indices are 0-based and the interval is half-open [startIndex, endIndex). Use listDimensionGroups to read back an existing group's range and pass it in full: the API decrements the group depth of every dimension in the range rather than matching a whole group, so a range that only partially overlaps a group shrinks that group instead of removing it. With a depth-1 group over columns B:E and a depth-2 group over C:D, deleting D:E leaves depth-1 over B:D and depth-2 over C:C.

Delete a slide from a presentation

Move a file or folder to trash (can be restored from Google Drive trash)

Delete content between start and end indices. Works on Google Docs and text/* files (e.g. text/plain, text/markdown). Index semantics differ by file type: Google Docs use the Docs API's 1-based structural position (includes structural elements); text files use 0-based Unicode code point (character) offsets into the file content. For multi-tab Google Docs, specify tabId to target a specific tab — tabId is not supported on text files.

Delete a sheet/tab by sheetId

Delete an element (image, text box, shape) from a Google Slides slide

Style probe for one spot: the paragraph styles (named style, alignment, borders, shading, indents, spacing, bullets) and text runs (font, size, bold/italic/underline, colors, links) overlapping a range, with the real document index of every paragraph and run so the result feeds straight into applyParagraphStyle or applyTextStyle. Target it with startIndex (optionally endIndex) or with textToFind, not both. Describes one tab's body; headers, footers, and footnotes are separate index spaces and are not included. Reports the document's revisionId, so the same read that gives you the indices gives…

Download a Google Drive file to a local path. For Google Workspace files (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings), exports to the specified format. For regular files, downloads as-is. Streams directly to disk.

Duplicate a slide in a presentation

Edit the content and/or style of a specific table cell. Requires knowing the table start index. For multi-tab docs, specify tabId to target a table in a specific tab.

Export a slide thumbnail URL

Find and replace text across a Google Document. Dry-run mode counts matches exactly across body, tables, headers, footers, and footnotes. On zero matches the response explains the likeliest lookalike cause (non-breaking spaces, curly quotes, HTML entities, case). For multi-tab docs, specify tabId to scope replacements to a single tab. When replaceText contains a newline, the write is always locked to the revision its matches were located in — even without an explicit ifRevisionId — since the compiled batch targets indices from that read; a concurrent edit fails the call instead of landing at t…

Apply paragraph formatting (alignment, indentation, spacing, heading style, borders, shading) in a Google Doc. Alias for applyParagraphStyle.

Apply text formatting (bold, italic, font, color, links, superscript/subscript) to a range or found text in a Google Doc. Alias for applyTextStyle.

Format cells in a Google Sheet (background, borders, alignment)

Apply number formatting to cells in a Google Sheet

Get events from a Google Calendar with optional filtering

Get a specific comment with its full thread of replies

Gets detailed information about a specific Google Document.

Get content of a Google Doc with text indices for formatting

Get a portion of a Google Doc with text indices for formatting, with pagination support. Use offset and limit to read large documents in chunks.

Fetch the bytes of an inline image embedded in a Google Doc, keyed by its inline object ID. Returns a native image the model can see (or base64). The doc is re-fetched so the underlying image URL is always fresh — pass the objectId, never a raw contentUri (those expire). Inline images only; floating/anchored images are not supported.

Compact style inventory of a whole document in a few hundred tokens: fonts with their size ladders, named-style counts, text colors, bordered and shaded paragraph locations, a table inventory with real index ranges, and the heading outline. The cheap first read before any formatting work, in place of pulling the full document JSON to answer style questions. Counts cover every tab; locations are prefixed with the tab title on a multi-tab document, since index spaces restart per tab. Reports the document's revisionId, so the same read that gives you the indices gives you the lock to pass as ifRe…

Read Google Sheets cells as structured data instead of joined text: each cell comes back with its own absolute A1 address, and with the formula the user entered AND the value it evaluates to, in one call. Reads several ranges at once and returns them separately. Use getGoogleSheetContent for a quick human-readable dump of one range. Use this tool whenever the result will be written back, compared to a formula, or spans several ranges.

Get content of a Google Sheet with cell information. Each row is returned as 'Row N: ' followed by that row's cells separated by tab characters. Returns displayed values by default; set valueRenderOption to 'FORMULA' to read the underlying formulas (e.g. '=SUM(A1:A10)') instead of their results, or 'UNFORMATTED_VALUE' for raw numbers without display formatting. Under UNFORMATTED_VALUE a date or time cell comes back as a spreadsheet serial number (e.g. 45678), not a date string.

Get content of Google Slides with element IDs for formatting

Get speaker notes from a specific slide in Google Slides

List revisions for a file

Get position, size, and transform of all elements on a slide. Returns actual rendered bounds.

Gets detailed information about a Google Spreadsheet including all sheets/tabs

Hide a range of columns or rows in a sheet (sets hiddenByUser=true). Indices are 0-based and the interval is half-open [startIndex, endIndex) — to hide a single column/row at position 5, pass startIndex: 5, endIndex: 6.

Insert an inline image into a Google Document from a publicly accessible URL

Upload a local image file to Google Drive and insert it into a Google Document

Insert an image into a Google Slides slide from a publicly accessible URL

Upload a local image file to Google Drive and insert it into a Google Slides slide

Insert a person smart chip (mention) at a document index. Only person chips are supported by the Docs API; date and file chips are read-only.

Insert a new table with the specified dimensions at a given index. For multi-tab docs, specify tabId to target a specific tab.

Insert text at a specific index (surgical edit, doesn't replace whole file). Works on Google Docs and text/* files (e.g. text/plain, text/markdown). Index semantics differ by file type: Google Docs use the Docs API's 1-based structural position (includes structural elements); text files use a 0-based Unicode code point (character) offset into the file content. For multi-tab Google Docs, specify tabId to target a specific tab — tabId is not supported on text files.

List all accessible Google Calendars for the authenticated user

List all comments in a Google Document

List the row and column groups of a spreadsheet, with each group's range, nesting depth and collapsed state. Ranges are reported as 0-based half-open intervals, exactly as addDimensionGroup, deleteDimensionGroup and updateDimensionGroup take them.

List all tabs in a Google Doc with their IDs and hierarchy

List contents of a folder (defaults to root)

Lists Google Documents from your Google Drive with optional filtering.

Lists Google Spreadsheets from your Google Drive with optional filtering

List sharing permissions for a file

List available Google Shared Drives

List tabs/sheets in a Google Spreadsheet

Lock a file to prevent editing by setting content restrictions. The file remains readable but cannot be modified until unlocked.

Manage connected Google accounts. action='list' shows all connected accounts (no secrets). action='add' starts an OAuth flow for a new account identified by account_id (alias). action='remove' deletes local tokens for an account. action='set_default' picks which account is used when tool calls omit the `account` parameter.

Merge cells in a Google Sheet

Move a file or folder

Move and/or resize an element (image, text box, shape) on a Google Slides slide

Protect a range in a spreadsheet

Read content of a Google Doc with format options. Supports multi-tab documents. Text/markdown output leads with the document's revisionId — pass it as ifRevisionId on write tools for an optimistic lock.

Read a portion of a Google Doc with pagination support. Use offset and limit to read large documents in chunks, avoiding output size limits.

Read smart chip-like elements (person mentions, rich links, date chips) from the default tab of a document

Read content of a text file (any text/* MIME type, e.g. text/plain, text/markdown, text/csv). For Google Docs, use readGoogleDoc.

Remove a permission from a file (by permissionId or emailAddress)

Rename an existing Google Doc tab

Rename a file or folder

Rename a sheet/tab by sheetId

Reorder one or more slides in a presentation

Replace all matching text across a presentation. It reaches slides, speaker notes, layouts and masters, so a match on a layout or master changes every slide that uses it. A match can run across paragraphs inside one text box or table cell, never across two. Pass expectedCount to refuse the write when the count differs.

Replace an existing image in place, preserving its layering (z-order), position, size, and crop. Unlike delete+insert, which lands the new image on top of the stack, this keeps the image under any overlaid text.

Add a reply to an existing comment

Restore a file to a selected revision (creates a new head revision). Note: workspace files (Docs, Sheets, Slides) are restored via export/import and may lose some formatting.

Search for files in Google Drive. Results are sorted most-recently-modified first by default; use orderBy for a different order. Set rawQuery=true to pass a raw Google Drive API query supporting operators like modifiedTime, createdTime, mimeType, name contains, etc.

Set the width (in pixels) of one or more columns in a sheet. Indices are 0-based and the interval is half-open [startColumn, endColumn) — to resize a single column at position 5, pass startColumn: 5, endColumn: 6.

Replace the entire text of one shape/text box by objectId (element-scoped delete+insert in one atomic call). Unlike replaceAllTextInSlides, this cannot hit other slides, masters, or layouts, and does not depend on matching existing text. Pass empty text to clear the element.

Change the stacking order of page elements (updatePageElementsZOrder). Inserted images land on top of the stack and can cover overlay text — send them backward or to the back. All elements must be on the same page.

Set borders for cells in a Google Sheet

Set background color for slides

Set the height (in pixels) of one or more rows in a sheet. Indices are 0-based and the interval is half-open [startRow, endRow) — to resize a single row at position 5, pass startRow: 5, endRow: 6.

Show or hide (skip) slides in one atomic call. Hidden slides are skipped in present mode and PDF export.

Convenience wrapper to share a file with a user email. If the user already holds a permission on the file, that permission's role is set to the requested one (even when it is a downgrade) instead of creating a duplicate.

Show (unhide) a range of columns or rows in a sheet (sets hiddenByUser=false). Indices are 0-based and the interval is half-open [startIndex, endIndex) — to unhide a single column/row at position 5, pass startIndex: 5, endIndex: 6.

Style a Docs table in one atomic call: cell borders/background/padding/content alignment (whole table via tableStartLocation, or a cell range subset), fixed column widths, and minimum row heights. Get the real tableStartIndex from the table span line readGoogleDoc or getGoogleDocContent prints (tableStartIndex=N) — never compute it from text offsets. removeBorders: ["all"] unboxes the table (width-0 borders). The API resolves shared edges by applying border updates right-to-left then bottom-to-top.

Style shapes in Google Slides

Unlock a previously locked file by removing content restrictions, restoring full edit access.

Update an existing calendar event

Collapse or expand an existing row or column group. Indices are 0-based and the interval is half-open [startIndex, endIndex). Use listDimensionGroups first to find the group's range and depth.

Update an existing Google Doc (replaces all content). The replacement is one atomic batchUpdate, so a failure leaves the document unchanged rather than wiped. For multi-tab docs, specify tabId to replace a single tab's content; leaves other tabs untouched.

Update an existing Google Sheet. By default uses RAW mode which stores values as-is. Set valueInputOption to 'USER_ENTERED' only when you need formulas to be evaluated.

Write cell values only if the guarded area has not changed since you read it, and get back what was overwritten so the change can be undone. Call once with dryRun:true to obtain the fingerprint, then again passing it as expectedFingerprint. IMPORTANT: this is optimistic and NOT atomic. The Sheets API has no compare-and-swap - unlike Docs, where ifRevisionId is enforced by the API itself - so the check happens in this server, and a write landing in the gap between the read and the write (well under a second) is not caught. It catches the case that actually happens: the model changed since you l…

Update an existing Google Slides presentation

Update speaker notes for a specific slide in Google Slides

Update an existing permission role

Update an existing text or markdown file

Upload a file (any type: image, audio, video, PDF, etc.) to Google Drive, either from a local path on the server or from base64-encoded content. When fileId is provided, uploads the content as a new version of that existing file (in-place update) instead of creating a new file.

Upload PDF and optionally split into chunked parts (metadata split plan for now)
