Google Drive MCP connector not passed through to Claude Code
Resolved 💬 8 comments Opened Mar 26, 2026 by PeteMichaud Closed May 23, 2026
Summary
Google Drive connector is enabled and fully OAuth-authorized on claude.ai, but its tools never appear in Claude Code. Other Google connectors (Gmail, Google Calendar) work fine.
Details
- Gmail:
mcp__claude_ai_Gmail__*tools appear and work correctly - Google Calendar:
mcp__claude_ai_Google_Calendar__*tools appear and work correctly - Google Drive: No
mcp__claude_ai_Google_Drive__*tools appear at all - Other connectors (Linear, Notion, Slack): All pass through fine
OAuth status
Google Drive OAuth is fully granted on the Google account with both scopes:
- "See, edit, create, and delete only the specific Google Drive files you use with this app"
- "See and download all your Google Drive files"
Verified at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions — Claude/Anthropic has full Drive access.
Attempted fixes
- Toggled Google Drive connector off and on in claude.ai settings
- Disconnected and re-authorized Google Drive
- No change — tools still don't appear
Environment
- Claude Code CLI (macOS)
- All other claude.ai built-in connectors pass through correctly
Expected behavior
mcp__claude_ai_Google_Drive__* tools should appear in Claude Code, the same way Gmail and Calendar tools do.
