What is the Terra MCP server?

Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Terra MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Kozocom MCP server.

The short version

Read/write access to your Google Drive and Sheets. OAuth + PKCE login — only the public client ID ships in npm, consent happens in browser, token is cached and auto-refreshed.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:

  • google_auth_status — show signed-in account, granted scopes, token expiry
  • drive_list_files — list / search files (Drive q query, pagination)
  • drive_get_file — get file metadata by ID
  • drive_download_file — download or export content (Google-native files → csv/txt/pdf/…)
  • drive_create_folder — create a folder
  • drive_upload_file — upload inline text or a local file
  • drive_update_file — rename, move, or replace content
  • drive_copy_file — duplicate a file
  • drive_delete_file — trash (default) or permanently delete
  • sheets_create_spreadsheet — create a spreadsheet
  • sheets_get_spreadsheet — list tabs and their dimensions
  • sheets_read_range — read one A1 range, or many at once (pass an array of ranges)

Getting it running

The server ships on npm as skills, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: GOOGLE_OAUTH_TOKEN. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

How it compares

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Terra's toolset — google_auth_status, drive_list_files, drive_get_file and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by GitHub Actions; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Terra.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Terra to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 14 tools (google_auth_status, drive_list_files, drive_get_file, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Terra directly.
