Once connected, the assistant can call these 3 tools directly:
Overview — This guide will walk you through setting up Claude Desktop with the gget_mcp extension and Google Drive integration on Windows. By the end, you'll be able toPrerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverTroubleshooting — The Troubleshooting tool exposed by this serverThe server is distributed via npm as @modelcontextprotocol/inspector, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Before the server will start you need to supply one environment variable: GEMINI_API_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
File and storage servers are what separate an assistant that talks about your documents from one that actually works with them. Gget MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Overview, Prerequisites, Troubleshooting — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other file systems servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
