Add the Google Drive (Workspace MCP) MCP server to Cursor

Prerequisites

• Cursor installed.
• GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID — OAuth client ID from your Google Cloud project.
• GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET — OAuth client secret for the Google Cloud OAuth client.

Setup

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-drive": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "workspace-mcp",
        "--tools",
        "drive"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID": "<GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID>",
        "GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET": "<GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Gotchas

Cursor keeps MCP servers under an "mcpServers" object in ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global use, and also reads a project-scoped .cursor/mcp.json so a repository can ship its own servers. Remote servers are configured with a bare "url" field and connect natively, with OAuth handled in-app when a server requires it.
