​
Add Google Drive Tool to AI Agent

​
Quick Start

1

Install Dependencies

Make sure you have Node.js installed, as the MCP server requires it:

pip install praisonaiagents mcp
2

Set up Google Drive Credentials

Set your Google Drive credentials path as an environment variable in your terminal:

export GDRIVE_CREDENTIALS_PATH=path/to/your/gcp-oauth.keys.json
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here
3

Create a file

Create a new file gdrive_agent.py with the following code:

from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP
import os

# Get the credentials path from environment
gdrive_credentials = os.getenv("GDRIVE_CREDENTIALS_PATH", "servers/gcp-oauth.keys.json")

# Use a single string command with Google Drive configuration
gdrive_agent = Agent(
    instructions="""You are a helpful assistant that can interact with Google Drive.
    Use the available tools when relevant to manage files and folders.""",
    llm="gpt-4o-mini",
    tools=MCP("npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-gdrive",
            env={"GDRIVE_CREDENTIALS_PATH": gdrive_credentials})
)

gdrive_agent.start("List files in my Google Drive")
4

Run the Agent

Execute your script:

python gdrive_agent.py
