| Best for | - Individuals who want to manage Google Drive files from Claude Desktop or another local MCP client
- Teams or developers who want to self-host and retain control of their own Google credentials and tokens
- Multi-step Workspace automation spanning Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Calendar
| - SEO professionals
- Content marketers
- Website owners
- Developers integrating Search Console data into their applications or workflows.
| - Users who want to integrate AI assistants (like Claude Desktop or IDEs) with a self-hosted Nextcloud instance.
- Developers and power users who need deep CRUD operations across multiple Nextcloud apps.
- Teams that prefer Docker or Kubernetes deployment.
|
|---|
| Not for | - Users who need an official Google-maintained MCP integration (this is a third-party project)
- Users who want zero-setup access without creating their own Google Cloud OAuth credentials
- Use cases needing coverage of the full Google Workspace API surface beyond Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Calendar
| - Users without a Google Cloud project or Search Console access.
- Those needing real-time data (default is final data, but 'all' option exists).
- Non-technical users may find setup challenging due to required Google Cloud configuration.
| - Users who don't want to self-host (consider managed service Astrolabe Cloud).
- Users who need only simple read-only access (this server is more comprehensive).
- Users who require official support (it is not an official Nextcloud project).
|
|---|
| Required permissions | - Google OAuth 2.0 credentials (GOOGLE_DRIVE_OAUTH_CREDENTIALS, required and marked secret)
- API access scopes for Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Calendar (enabled and authorized by the user in a Google Cloud project)
- Locally stored OAuth token file (tokens.json), plus member refresh tokens in team-store.json under team mode
| - Requires a Google Cloud service account key with access to the Search Console API.
- The service account must be granted property administrator rights in Search Console.
- The server reads the key via environment variable, typically for external services.
| - Requires a Nextcloud username and app password (or OAuth).
- Read/write access to the selected Nextcloud apps (Notes, Calendar, Contacts, Files, etc.).
- For semantic search, needs external services: Qdrant and Ollama (disabled by default).
|
|---|
| Risks and side effects | - Exposure of tokens.json or team-store.json could allow access to the associated Google account(s); both must be kept secret
- Running the HTTP transport without binding to 127.0.0.1 or without TLS and access control could allow unauthorized access
- Granting broader OAuth scopes than the tools actually used can expose more data than necessary
| - Credential leak risk: If the service account key is not stored securely, data may be exposed. Use secret management services.
- Data access scope: The service account can access all authorized Search Console properties, including sensitive performance data.
- This is a third-party project, not an official Google server, and may not have undergone security auditing. Evaluate trustworthiness before use.
- Potential Google Cloud API costs, though Search Console API is usually free within quotas.
| - Credential storage with app passwords may pose a security risk if exposed.
- The server can access a user's full Nextcloud data, so proper access controls are necessary.
- Experimental semantic search relies on external services, which may introduce security and privacy issues.
- Tag-based exclusion (EXCLUDED_TAGS) depends on system tags to hide sensitive files, misconfiguration could expose data.
