Safety

Hand AI the keys. Keep the brakes.

The same loop guards every MegaMCP connection: ask, see the diff, approve, undo.

Approval before every change

Google Drive write tools never touch Google Drive directly. They return a plan, and a person approves it in the dashboard, or in chat if an admin allows it.

A diff first

Every plan lists each change with its before and after values, so you see exactly what will move before it does.

Receipts for everything

Platform checks stop stale edits, and the flight recorder logs every tool call, plan and approval, with who did it and from which AI app.

FAQ

Google Drive MCP server questions

Is there an official Google Drive MCP server?

Yes. As of October 2026, Google offers remote MCP servers for Workspace apps, including Drive, as a Developer Preview. MegaMCP takes a narrower route built for client work: tools only see the Drive files you explicitly enable for a client, and every change is a plan a person approves.

What is a Google Drive MCP server?

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server lets AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor use Google Drive through tools. MegaMCP's hosted Google Drive MCP server gives your assistant 3 read tools and 1 write tool for enabled files, their metadata and document text, and every change waits for a human approval.

Does the Google Drive MCP server work with ChatGPT?

Yes. MegaMCP is a remote MCP server with OAuth sign-in, so one URL works in ChatGPT (as an app, with developer mode on), Claude (as a custom connector), Cursor, Claude Code and VS Code. Your AI app's own plan decides whether it can add custom MCP servers.

Can it make changes to my Google Drive account?

Yes, with your approval. It can propose file name and description changes changes. Each one comes back as a plan with a line-by-line diff and waits for a human before anything moves. Only explicitly enabled files are available to tools. Existing-file Picker uses a separate file-only token; broader Drive access is excluded.

How do I connect Google Drive to Claude or ChatGPT?

Optional Google Workspace drive.file consent, then enable and assign authorized file accounts. Picker requires operator API-key and project setup. Live acceptance remains pending.

What does the Google Drive MCP server cost?

Reading Google Drive is free on MegaMCP's Free plan (100 reads a day, no card). Approved changes are included in every paid plan, from $19/month after a 5-day free trial, with unlimited runs and no credits. MegaMCP adds no markup: any subscription or API usage with the vendor stays between you and them.

Is my Google Drive data safe?

Your Google Drive credentials are encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) and bound to their connection, and MegaMCP never trains AI models on your data. Your AI only sees the accounts you switch on, members limited to certain clients only see those clients, and every tool call lands in the flight recorder.

5 days. On the house.

Put Mega to work. Your ad budget stays yours.

No credit card to start. Every workspace comes with a sandbox ad account, so you can watch the whole ask, diff, approve, undo loop before you connect anything real.
