How to connect to the Google Drive MCP with Claude Code (5 steps)
Blog post from Merge
Merge's platform facilitates the integration of Google Drive with Claude Code, allowing developers to access and utilize a wealth of contextual information without leaving their terminal. This is achieved through the Merge Agent Handler, which acts as a secure intermediary between Claude Code and Google Drive's API, managing OAuth tokens and API calls on behalf of the user. By connecting Google Drive via Merge's MCP server, developers can search, retrieve, and interact with files directly from the terminal, enhancing workflows by grounding coding suggestions in actual documentation rather than generic data. The process involves creating Tool Packs and Registered Users in Merge, authenticating Google Drive access, and configuring Claude Code with a unique MCP URL and API key. This integration streamlines the development process by reducing the need for context-switching and enables more efficient code reviews and agent workflows.
