Overview

What is Google Cloud MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for Google Cloud, built with Go and Cobra. It supports stdio and SSE transports and exposes operations for Projects (list, describe), Container Clusters (list, describe), and Cloud Run Services (list, describe).

How to use Google Cloud MCP Server?

Configure it as an MCP server in your client (e.g., Claude Desktop) by pointing to the binary with the --transport stdio argument. For local development, use the MCP inspector with either go run main.go (stdio) or go run main.go --transport sse (SSE). Deployment to Google Cloud Run is manual, using a Docker image or direct source build.

FAQ from Google Cloud MCP Server

What dependencies or runtime does it require?

It is a Go binary with no external runtime beyond the operating system. For SSE mode, a running HTTP server is required; the README shows deployment to Google Cloud Run.

What transports and authentication are supported?

The server supports stdio and SSE transports. Authentication is handled via Google Cloud service account credentials, set as an environment variable (GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS) or mounted as a secret on Cloud Run.

What data does it access?

It queries Google Cloud APIs for projects, GKE clusters, and Cloud Run services. No local data is stored; all responses come from live Google Cloud state.

Are there any known limits or missing operations?

Only three service areas are implemented: Projects (list, describe), Container (list, describe), and Cloud Run (list, describe). Other Google Cloud services are not included.

Can I run it locally without deploying to Cloud Run?

Yes. Use go run main.go locally with --transport stdio for stdin/stdout mode, or --transport sse to start an HTTP server on port 8000.

Frequently asked questions
