SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Working with Google Docs and Drive files often requires switching between multiple interfaces, handling complex OAuth authentication, and manually converting between markdown and Google's native formats, which creates unnecessary friction for academic and collaborative workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read Google Docs as Markdown: Use the built-in MCP tool to pull content from any Google Doc and get it as clean, formatted markdown, ideal for summarizing project notes or repurposing content for course materials.
  • Write and Update Google Docs: Create new Google Docs or overwrite existing ones directly from markdown text, eliminating the need to manually reformat content in Google's web editor.
  • Raw Drive File Access: Access all non-Doc files, binary attachments, and Drive folder contents directly via the mounted /workspace/drive/ filesystem using standard bash commands, for tasks the MCP tools do not cover.
  • Use Case: An instructor can quickly pull shared project notes from a Google Doc to summarize for students, or upload assignment feedback as a PDF directly to the course Drive folder without leaving their workflow.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to summarize the content of your shared Google Doc named "Project Notes" by providing the Doc's URL or looking it up in your mounted Drive folder.

Do I need rclone to access raw Google Drive files via the filesystem?▼

Yes, accessing non-Doc files, binary attachments, and Drive folder contents requires an OS-level filesystem mount via rclone, allowing standard bash commands to operate on the `/workspace/drive/` directory.

What is the best way to manage Google Drive course materials without OAuth overhead?▼

Using integrated MCP tools for Doc-specific operations and a mounted Drive filesystem for raw files eliminates manual API authentication and format conversion overhead for course material management.

Can I upload assignment feedback PDFs directly to a Google Drive folder?▼

Yes, instructors can upload assignment feedback as PDFs directly to the course Drive folder by placing files into the mounted `/workspace/drive/` filesystem using standard bash commands.

Why does my Google Docs markdown conversion fail for binary attachments?▼

Markdown conversion applies only to Google Docs; binary attachments and non-Doc files bypass MCP tools and must be accessed as raw files through the mounted `/workspace/drive/` filesystem.
