[gdocs-mcp — treat a Google Doc like a local file]
[npm version] [CI status] [License: MIT] [Model Context Protocol server] [TypeScript] [Node 18+]
An MCP server that lets an AI agent (like Claude Code) treat a Google Doc like a local file — read it, edit it by content, review and resolve suggestions, manage comments, and work across tabs and multiple Google accounts.
Status: beta. The tool surface is complete and every change is verified against the live API, not just unit tests.
Most Google Docs MCP servers treat a doc as flat text. This one fills the gap nobody else does:
list_suggestions shows each pending tracked change with Docs' own summary, the change in its sentence (Pay within [30→45] days), its author and time; apply_suggestions accepts or rejects each one on its own, as the check and the cross do in Docs. read_doc can render them inline as <ins>/<del>.edit_doc matches a unique snippet of text (like a local Edit) and rewrites it — indices are never exposed.drive ls <doc> lists them, drive mv renames, reorders and nests them.You don't call tools. You ask in plain language and the agent drives them.
Fill a template without rebuilding it
"Copy the Proposal Template into /Clients/Acme, name it 'Acme Q3 Proposal', then fill in the client name, the dates, and the pricing table."
The copy keeps the letterhead, the logo at its exact size, the fonts and the page setup — everything a markdown round-trip cannot rebuild. Then only the words that change are edited. The alternative is retyping a document you already have.
A whole review pass in one instruction
"Show me the pending suggestions as a diff, accept the typo fixes, reject anything that changes meaning, then reply to the open comments and resolve the ones that are settled."
Four tools, one sentence, and the judgement in the middle is the part you wanted help with. Most Docs integrations cannot see tracked changes at all, let alone act on them safely.
More: publishing a folder of markdown as a Drive tree, auditing many docs for style drift, pulling a doc back into your repo with its images → docs/recipes.md.
Or from source:
Then follow the setup below exactly as an installed user would. (npm link symlinks the
gdocs-mcp binary to your build; see CONTRIBUTING.md for the dev workflow.)
You need a Google Cloud OAuth client (one-time). Each user creates their own — this keeps your credentials yours and avoids Google app-verification for the restricted Drive scope.
~/.config/gdocs-mcp/client_secret.json.In a project's .mcp.json (Claude Code) or equivalent:
GDOCS_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT sets which authorized account this project uses by default — so a work project and a personal project can point at different accounts without re-authorizing. Any tool call can override it with an account argument.
Prefer it available in every project? Register once at user scope: claude mcp add gdocs -s user -e [email protected] -- gdocs-mcp. Then a project can pin its own defaults with a .gdocs-mcp.json — the account, and a default folder for new docs:
write_doc creates only from a path (/Reports/Q3 Report). Given a bare name (Q3 Report) it creates nothing: it refuses, tells the agent to tell you the doc will go in the default folder, and hands back the full path to call. A new doc at the top of My Drive (/Q3 Report) is refused once the same way, and the identical call repeated goes through if you want it there. The default folder's path is also in write_doc's description, read when the server starts. With no default it says to name a folder (~/Q3 Report). See docs/setup.md for the full resolution order.
You don't have to edit that file by hand — just tell the agent "make [email protected] my default account for this project" or "make my Manuscripts folder the default here," and it writes the .gdocs-mcp.json for you via set_project_default (searching for the folder by name if needed).
The table below is the reference. For what to actually ask for, see What you can ask for above, or the full set in docs/recipes.md.
Every doc tool takes one path for the doc — an id, a URL, /Work/Contract or /Work/Contract/Ch.4 — and an optional account (override the default). A doc with one tab needs no tab step; a doc with several is refused until one is named, and the refusal lists every tab's path. Two tabs (or a folder and a doc) with one name are refused with each candidate's id.
Drive navigation is one tool speaking shell, because the model already knows shell. Arguments are positional and differ per command, exactly as they do in a terminal.
Flags and operands parse in any order (cp -r a b, cp a b -r, cp a -r b), and -- ends the options.
Three places Drive is not a filesystem. The vocabulary is borrowed only where it is honest, and refuses where it is not:
cp/mv refuse to create that state too, rather than manufacturing an ambiguity the resolver would then decline to resolve.cp -r does not exist. Drive's files.copy refuses folders (its own web UI cannot copy one either), so cp on a folder explains that rather than half-working.mv into /shared/… gives the file away. Shell mv across filesystems leaves you owning the file; moving into a shared drive transfers ownership to that organization and cannot be undone from your side. It requires acceptOwnershipTransfer: true.Paths see less than find does. A file with no parent still opens and still turns up in a search, but no path can name it — nothing that browses the tree will ever show it. find is the complete view; /lost+found is where those files surface.
There is no rm. See #47.
These are Google-API constraints, not bugs — the highlights are below; the complete reference (with the API reason and the workaround for each) is in docs/limitations.md.
edit_doc and write_doc take suggest: true to send an edit as suggestions, but Docs cannot suggest a new tab or doc, a table column width, deleting a header or footer, or a named range; an edit that needs one is refused before anything is sent, and is never split into a suggested part and a direct part. A header or footer that does not exist yet cannot be created as a suggestion either.add_comment needs a quotedText.read_doc, edit_doc, write_doc, list_suggestions, apply_suggestions) takes segment: "header" | "footer" to reach them, and page when a doc defines more than one.read_doc opens with a <style> block of the named styles and shows style="…" where a paragraph or run differs from its rule; edit_doc changes it (same words with new markup is a style-only edit) and the write tools accept the same CSS. It is a small set (text-align, line-height, margin-*, text-indent, font-*, text-decoration, color, in pt); anything else is refused before a request is sent. A table with nothing but Docs defaults reads as a pipe table; one with any cell or row style, set column widths or row heights, pinned header rows or merged cells reads as an HTML <table> with the same CSS (border, padding, background, vertical-align, width on <col>, height on <tr>, colspan, rowspan) and edit_doc changes it, a style-only edit sending only style requests. Lines follow CommonMark: a single newline inside a paragraph, list item or quote is a space, so a hard-wrapped file keeps its structure; a fenced or four-space-indented code block is one Courier New paragraph with its line breaks and spaces, and reads back as a fence; a > quote is a paragraph indented 36pt with a gray left border, a bare > line separating its paragraphs (>>, and a list or code block inside a quote, are refused).See docs/limitations.md for the full table, including how each is mitigated or surfaced.
The "manuscript sync" use case (chapter files ⇄ tabs, reviewing suggestions, merging) is intentionally not a server feature — an AI agent orchestrates it over these primitives. See DESIGN.md §10b.
eval:agent is not part of npm test: it uses real model calls and a real Google
account. Each run creates its docs through the API, runs claude -p from a temp
folder with only the gdocs tools and no skills, reads the result through the API,
and trashes every doc it made, even after a failure. A run that fails
with "Quota exceeded" in its log is retried once on its own after 60 s and reported as a
quota hit, not a plain failure; a run that passed despite a quota error is a pass.
Each claude -p is killed, process group included, after 10 minutes and reported as a
failure ("timed out after 10 min"); GDOCS_EVAL_RUN_TIMEOUT_MS overrides that, for
testing only. Every Google call the harness itself makes (setup, grading, trashing) waits
60 s and retries up to 3 times on a quota error; a run whose harness call still fails is
reported as "could not run", apart from passes and failures, and still exits non-zero.
--full runs 3 at a time (5 by default) to keep that rare.
See DESIGN.md for the full architecture and the empirical findings behind it.

Set this project’s default account/folder
Write this project’s defaults to a .gdocs-mcp.json in the current working directory (or update an existing one up the tree). Set a default account and/or a default folder (URL or id). The folder is where write_doc is told new docs go: a new doc given as a bare name or at the top of My Drive is refused once, naming the folder and the full path to call. It is read when the server starts, so write_doc’s description shows a change after a restart; the refusal reads it fresh. To set a folder by name, find it first with drive({ cmd: 'find' }) and pass its id.

Read a Google Doc
Read a Google Doc as markdown + inline HTML. The read opens with a <style> block — one CSS rule per named style (p = Normal text, h1–h6, .title, .subtitle), in pt — and a paragraph or run shows style="…" only where it differs from its rule (text-align, line-height, margin-top/bottom/left/right, text-indent; a hanging indent is margin-left:36pt with a negative text-indent). Title and Subtitle paragraphs read as <p class="title">. A page break reads as <div style="page-break-after:always"></div> on its own line, where the break is. Every element in a paragraph reads, so an edit that quotes one can give it back: a footnote is [^1] with its note as a [^1]: line at the end; a date is <time datetime="2026-11-15">Nov 15, 2026</time>; a person or a link chip is <a class="chip" href="mailto:[email protected]">Jane Doe</a> (the text is Google’s); a dropdown is <input class="chip" list="kix.…" value="Draft"> with its list as a <datalist id="kix.…" title="Status"><option>Draft</option></datalist> line after the <style> block; a horizontal rule is --- on a line of its own; a column break is <span style="break-after:column"></span>; an equation and a page-number field are empty <span class="equation"> and <span class="page-number"> whose title says to edit them in Google Docs. A table of contents is not read. List items show no indent: their nesting owns it. mode: clean (committed text, default) · tracked (suggestions shown as <ins>/<del>) · accepted · rejected. segment picks the content tree: body (default), header, footer, or all (body plus every header/footer, each labelled). Text that would otherwise read as markup is marked as literal: a paragraph wrapped in <p>…</p> ("4. Term" is a paragraph, not a list) or a backslash before a character (5 \* 3), and \\ is a real backslash — write them back as read, and the document keeps only the words. A body read always reports which headers/footers exist and what they hold, since their content — a letterhead logo, a page number — is NOT part
modepagepath必填accountsegmentEdit a Google Doc
Replace an exact unique snippet of text in a Google Doc (like a local file Edit). old_string is matched markup-tolerantly; ambiguous matches return surrounding context to disambiguate; a table is matched as its rows, in the form read_doc shows it (a pipe table, or the HTML <table> of a styled one). Elements read_doc shows are kept when old_string and new_string both hold them as read (a person chip inside a sentence you reword survives), deleted when new_string leaves them out, and created when new_string adds one: [^label] with a [^label]: note line, <time datetime="2026-11-15">Nov 15, 2026</time> (the text’s shape picks the date format), <a class="chip" href="mailto:…"> for a person or <a class="chip" href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/…"> for a Drive file, <input class="chip" list="…" value="…"> with its <datalist> line, and --- for a rule. A column break, equation, page-number field, or link chip to anything but a Drive file cannot be made: it is refused before anything is sent, and a chip’s text is Google’s (a chip given other words is refused). A footnote’s note is edited by quoting its [^1]: line, and a dropdown’s list by quoting its <datalist> line. INSERTING IS AN EDIT: quote the text to add after (or before), write it back in new_string, and add the new content to it. Text from old_string that comes back unchanged is kept as it is, with its style, comments and suggestions, so old_string `| Total | $4,200 |` and new_string `| Total | $4,200 |\n\nPayment due within 30 days.` leaves the table alone and adds the paragraph after it; a match that ends in a table puts the new blocks after the whole table. An anchor in the middle of a paragraph splits the paragraph there. A new block carries its own style, not its anchor’s: a paragraph added after a heading, a Title or a list item is Normal text with no bullet unless the markdown says otherwise, while text added inside an existing paragraph keeps that paragraph’s style. An empty doc, tab, header or footer ha

Read a doc’s (or tab’s) page setup — margins, page size (in points, plus a preset name if it matches letter/legal/a4/tabloid), and orientation. The read counterpart to set_page_setup; use it to mirror another document’s layout onto a new doc.
path必填accountSet document page setup
Set document-level page setup for a doc (or tab): page margins, page size, and orientation — the File > Page setup controls. Margins and explicit page sizes are in points (72 pt = 1 inch). pageSize is a preset (letter/legal/a4/tabloid) or an explicit {width,height} in points; orientation (portrait/landscape) swaps the page dimensions. Always a direct change: page geometry is a document-style change, so there is no suggest option.
path必填accountpageSizemarginTopmarginLeftmarginRightorientationmarginBottomDownload a doc’s images
Download every embedded image in a Google Doc to a local folder. Returns the objectId→filename mapping, which correlates with read_doc’s `<img src="image:<objectId>">` markers so you can rewrite them to local paths (the inverse of publishing).
dir必填path必填accountList suggestions in a doc
List the pending suggestions (tracked changes) in a Google Doc, in document order. Each has an `id`, a `summary` (Docs’ own words for it, as in the Docs sidebar, e.g. Replace: “30” with “45”), a `context` (the change in its sentence, [deleted→inserted], so two suggestions with the same summary can be told apart), and its author and time. Returns the doc `title`. Pass the title as expectTitle and each context as expectContext to apply_suggestions. segment: "header" or "footer" lists that one’s suggestions.
pagepath必填accountsegmentAccept/reject one or more suggestions
Accept or reject pending suggestions (from list_suggestions) in one update. Each one is resolved on its own, exactly as clicking the check or the cross in Docs: accept keeps the proposed change, reject restores the original. Two suggestions that touch each other (by different people) are decided one at a time, and the text comes out as Docs makes it; to decide them together, pass both. A style-only suggestion resolves like any other. expectTitle is checked against the live document first (status "wrong_doc" on a mismatch, e.g. an id from a different, similarly-titled document), and each expectContext is checked against the live suggestion (status "error" on a mismatch or an id that is gone); nothing is changed unless all match. Pass the `title` and each suggestion’s `context` from list_suggestions, verbatim.
pagepath必填accountsegmentexpectTitle必填resolutions必填List comments on a doc
List the comments on a Google Doc, each with the text it is on (`quotedText`), the sentence around it (`context`, the text in ⟦⟧), its author (a display name, never an email) and time, whether it is open or resolved, its body and its replies. A comment with a `range` is on that part of the doc, in the body or in a header or footer, and moves with its text; a comment with none was made in Drive and has only its quoted text. Pass a comment’s `id` as replyTo to add_comment, and its `quotedText` as expectQuotedText to resolve_comment.
path必填accountAdd a comment or reply
Comment on text in a Google Doc: `quotedText` is the text the comment sits on, found the way edit_doc finds old_string (markup-tolerant; text that matches more than once is refused with the context of each match, so quote more of it). The comment stays on that text as it moves. Docs has no comment on the whole doc, so quotedText is required; put overall feedback on the title, or on its first words. The tab comes from path, and segment: "header" or "footer" comments in the page header or footer. To reply to an existing comment instead, pass replyTo (a comment id from list_comments) and no quotedText; the reply goes to the doc named by path, whatever its tab.
pagepath必填accountcontent必填replyTosegmentquotedTextResolve or reopen a comment
Resolve (or reopen) a comment thread by comment id. expectQuotedText is REQUIRED: the `quotedText` list_comments gave for that comment, exactly. It is checked against the live comment first, so a stale or wrong id is refused instead of resolving the wrong thread.
path必填reopenaccountcommentId必填expectQuotedText必填Export a doc to a file
Export a Google Doc to a real file on disk — pdf (default), docx, odt, rtf, txt, html, epub, or md. Google renders it server-side (File > Download in the UI), so page setup, pagination and layout match the editor. A doc path exports every tab; a tab path (/folder/doc/tab) exports only that tab, through an endpoint Google does not document and rate-limits — if it fails the call is refused and says so, it never falls back to the whole doc. Returns the local path and byte size. Note: Drive refuses to export files larger than 10 MB.
dir必填path必填formataccountfilenameWrite a doc or a tab
Write markdown-rendered content to a path, like the local Write tool. A path that names nothing is CREATED and never asks, but only an absolute path (or a Drive id or URL start) creates: a bare name like Contract is refused with the full path to call. When the project has a default folder for new docs, a new doc at the top of My Drive (/Contract) is refused once too, with the default folder’s full path to call, so the user is told where it goes first; the same call repeated goes through: /Work/Contract creates a doc in the folder /Work, /Work/Contract/Notes a tab in that doc, /Work/Contract/Part 2/Ch.4 a child tab under Part 2 (only the last step may be new; make the folder with drive mkdir first). A path that names something is REPLACED, and the first call is refused with a loss summary — the paragraphs of text and everything a read cannot carry that the replace would take with it: comments, suggestions, tab stops, links to bookmarks, section breaks, a table of contents, column breaks, equations, page-number fields, a date in a format the API can only read, and a link chip to anything but a Drive file — plus a confirmLoss string. Ask the user before anything else — show them what would be lost and wait for a yes; never pass confirmLoss on your own. Only after their yes, call again with the same content and confirmLoss set to that string exactly. If the doc changed in between, the string no longer matches and the call is refused again with a fresh summary. A doc with several tabs needs a tab step (the refusal lists them); a doc with one tab means that tab. Nothing to lose, nothing to ask: an empty doc, tab, header or footer is written without the refusal. segment: "header" or "footer" writes the page header or footer of an existing doc instead of its body: a missing default one is created and written, an existing one with content is replaced after the same confirmLoss round-trip, and a missing first-page or even-page one (page: "first" / "even") is refused with the
pagepath必填accountbaseDircontentsegmentsuggestconfirmLosscontentFileDrive as a filesystem
Navigate and reorganise Google Drive with shell commands: ls, find, mkdir, cp, mv. Arguments are positional and follow the usual shell forms. ls [path] — list a folder (default My Drive root). find <text> [-type d|f] — search everything by name, including files no path can reach. mkdir [-p] <path> — create a folder. cp <src> <dst> — duplicate a file (preserves headers/footers, image sizing and exact formatting, which a markdown round-trip cannot rebuild). mv <src> <dst> — move and/or rename, as on a filesystem: an existing folder as <dst> means "into it", anything else means "to that name". Paths start with / or ~ (My Drive); /shared/<drive name> is a shared drive, /shared-with-me the files others shared with you, and /lost+found the files you own that are in no folder at all. Anything not starting with / or ~ is read as a Drive id or URL, so ids from any other tool can be pasted straight in. Drive permits two files with the same name in one folder and folds case when matching, unlike any real filesystem — a path that matches more than one thing is refused with the candidates listed, never guessed. A doc is a folder of tabs: ls <doc> lists its tabs, ls <folder> shows each doc with its tab count, and a path continues into tabs (/Work/Contract/Part 2/Ch.4; a tab step may also be a tabId). mv on a tab renames it, nests it (dst is another tab, or a new name under one) or un-nests it (dst is the doc), and `index` reorders it; a tab cannot leave its doc, and cp of a tab is refused. Content is edited with edit_doc and written with write_doc, not here; there is no rm, and nothing here deletes a tab. A tab is made by write_doc to a new path.
cmd必填argsindexaccountexpectNameacceptOwnershipTransferList who a doc is shared with
List the permissions on a Google Doc (people, groups, domain, anyone-with-link) with their roles. Each entry carries a `subject` naming who it covers — an email, "<domain> (domain)", or "anyone with the link" — since a domain or link grant has no email. For those, `allowFileDiscovery: true` means the file also surfaces in that audience's search, not merely that it opens with the link. Note a doc created under a Workspace domain may already carry a domain grant before you share it.
path必填accountShare a doc (person or link)
Grant access to a Google Doc. With `email`, share with that person as reader/commenter/writer (optionally sending a notification). Without `email`, set anyone-with-link access to that role, or role "none" to disable link sharing. (To revoke a specific person’s access, use unshare_doc.)
path必填roleemailnotifyaccountRemove someone’s access
Revoke a grant on a Google Doc. Pass `email` for a person or a group. A grant with no email — a domain-wide grant, or anyone-with-link — has no email to pass, so address it by `permissionId` from list_permissions (run that first; it also tells you the role you are about to remove). Refuses to touch the owner. `expectRole` is REQUIRED — run list_permissions first and echo the role back; a permission change is recorded nowhere and cannot be restored from version history, so this is the only thing standing between a misaimed call and a silent, unrecoverable revocation. Note a doc created under a Workspace domain may carry a domain grant nobody explicitly added.
