How to connect a Google Drive MCP with Codex (4 steps)

Merge's platform facilitates the integration between Codex and Google Drive, enhancing the efficiency of coding tasks by allowing direct access to source documents instead of relying on developers' summaries. By using the Merge Agent Handler, developers can connect Codex to Google Drive through a straightforward setup involving the Merge CLI, which manages OAuth token storage and refreshes, ensuring secure and seamless access. This connection allows Codex to use actual documents such as feature specs, data dictionaries, and architecture docs, thereby reducing errors and the need for corrections in the generated code. The platform offers a managed layer for credential storage and per-user access control, providing audit logging for tool calls, which is crucial for teams using Codex in production environments. This setup not only improves the accuracy of code generation by ensuring that Codex works with real data and documents but also enables IT departments to govern and secure file access, ensuring compliance with organizational policies.
