Google Docs MCP server & Claude connector

Does Google Docs have an official MCP server or Claude connector?

Official

As of October 2026, Google publishes an official remote Google Docs MCP server at docsmcp.googleapis.com, documented on developers.google.com as a Developer Preview with OAuth sign-in and two tools, read_doc and update_doc. No separate Claude Docs connector was found; Claude's Google Drive connector reads Google Docs instead.

Other clients

Google's guide shows an mcp_config.json entry for Google Antigravity (it names Claude as another supported host but gives no Claude-specific steps). Replace OAUTH_CLIENT_ID and OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET with your own client.
