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.
