How it works

This workflow creates an MCP server that allows coding agents
(e.g. Claude, ChatGPT with MCP support, Clawed Code) to interact
with Google Docs programmatically.

Many agents today can find files in Google Drive, but cannot
open, edit, or format documents. This workflow fills that gap.

What users can do

  • Search for files in Google Drive
  • Create new Google Docs
  • Get document content
  • Update docs with:
    • Find & Replace
    • Insert text
    • Add page breaks
    • Bullet and numbered lists
    • Checkbox lists
    • Insert tables

Why it’s useful

This expands agent capabilities from read-only to full read/write
and content manipulation
within Google Docs, enabling workflows
such as auto-writing reports, generating checklists, cleaning content,
and formatting structured output via AI.
