Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Google Drive via gogcli for Claude — search, upload, download, permissions

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Docs, sheets & office work

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: GOG_ACCOUNT, GOG_PATH, DISPLAY_TZ, GOG_READONLY, GOG_TIMEZONE

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gogcli-drive": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "gogcli-mcp-drive"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GOG_ACCOUNT": "your-value",
        "GOG_PATH": "your-value",
        "DISPLAY_TZ": "your-value",
        "GOG_READONLY": "your-value",
        "GOG_TIMEZONE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add gogcli-drive --env GOG_ACCOUNT=your-value --env GOG_PATH=your-value --env DISPLAY_TZ=your-value --env GOG_READONLY=your-value --env GOG_TIMEZONE=your-value -- npx -y gogcli-mcp-drive

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gogcli-drive": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "gogcli-mcp-drive"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GOG_ACCOUNT": "your-value",
        "GOG_PATH": "your-value",
        "DISPLAY_TZ": "your-value",
        "GOG_READONLY": "your-value",
        "GOG_TIMEZONE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "gogcli-drive": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "gogcli-mcp-drive"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GOG_ACCOUNT": "your-value",
        "GOG_PATH": "your-value",
        "DISPLAY_TZ": "your-value",
        "GOG_READONLY": "your-value",
        "GOG_TIMEZONE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • GOG_ACCOUNT env
    Email address of the Google account to use (matches gogcli auth)
  • GOG_PATH env
    Override path to the gogcli binary (auto-discovered otherwise)
  • DISPLAY_TZ env
    zone for *Display fields and for interpreting naive gog values; defaults to America/New_York
  • GOG_READONLY env
    block all mutating gog API requests (injects gog's --readonly); set to 0/false/no/off (or unset) to allow writes
  • GOG_TIMEZONE env
    zone gog formats naive dates in; unset, runner.ts hands gog DISPLAY_TZ so the two cannot diverge

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Gogcli MCP Drive safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (4.10.0) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Files on a hosted deployment

When this server is hosted (remote), it cannot read paths on your machine. Call gog_upload_slots with files: [{filename}], PUT each file to its uploadUrl with the slot's curl command, then pass the returned blobKeys to gog_drive_upload (instead of localPath or content). Files up to 25 MiB; each is deleted from the upload store after the call succeeds and kept if it fails. On a local install, pass a path as before.
