Best for
  • reMarkable users who want to leverage their device's notes and documents in AI workflows.
  • Remote or headless setups where device-free access is needed (cloud mode).
  • Users who prefer fast offline access over USB without subscription (USB Web mode).
  • 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
Not for
  • Users without a reMarkable device or who are unwilling to manage multiple API keys.
  • Teams needing official support or enterprise SLA.
  • Users who want to customize the protocol without owning the hardware.
  • 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
Required permissions
  • Requires authentication token for reMarkable Cloud API (`REMARKABLE_TOKEN`) — keep it secret.
  • USB/SSH modes require USB connection and/or SSH access to the tablet filesystem.
  • Write operations are enabled by default; destructive deletes require confirmation (if client supports elicitation) or setting `REMARKABLE_SKIP_CONFIRM=1`.
  • Optional Google Vision API key for OCR.
  • 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
Risks and side effects
  • Write tools can lead to data loss; deletes are destructive and should be used with caution.
  • Cloud mode requires a reMarkable Connect subscription, which may incur costs.
  • Google Vision OCR may incur costs (1000 free requests/month, then ~$1.50 per 1000).
  • Potential exposure of sensitive notes to AI providers if not properly managed.
  • SSH mode requires developer mode, which may void warranty.
  • 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
