listing.about

Lets an AI assistant run gcloud CLI commands to work with Google Cloud resources. You describe the outcome you want and the assistant issues the matching gcloud command through a single tool. Some commands that take arbitrary input or start interactive sessions are blocked by default, and the repository documents allowlist and denylist options.

It runs locally over stdio with npx and needs Node.js 20 or higher plus the gcloud CLI installed and authenticated. Permissions follow the active gcloud account, so a service account with limited roles via impersonation can restrict what it does. The project is in preview and is not an officially supported Google product.

Claude Code

Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

claude mcp add --transport stdio gcloud -- npx -y @google-cloud/gcloud-mcp

Start Claude Code and type /mcp. gcloud should show as connected.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project.

Claude Desktop

Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config. It opens claude_desktop_config.json. Add:

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gcloud": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@google-cloud/gcloud-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.

Needs Node.js on your computer. The file lives in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS and %APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows.

Cursor

Add to Cursor a11y.new_tab

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gcloud": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@google-cloud/gcloud-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Needs Node.js on your computer.

VS Code

Install in VS Code a11y.new_tab

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"gcloud","type":"stdio","command":"npx","args":["-y","@google-cloud/gcloud-mcp"]}'

Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "gcloud": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@google-cloud/gcloud-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Needs Node.js on your computer.

Devin Desktop

Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):

mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gcloud": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@google-cloud/gcloud-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf.

Codex

codex mcp add gcloud -- npx -y @google-cloud/gcloud-mcp

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml

[mcp_servers.gcloud]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@google-cloud/gcloud-mcp"]

Needs Node.js on your computer.

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add gcloud npx -- -y @google-cloud/gcloud-mcp

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients that start local servers accept this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gcloud": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@google-cloud/gcloud-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings, with the same command, args and env fields.

Needs Node.js on your computer.

listing.faq

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/gcloud into my MCP client?

No. gcloud runs on your own computer, started by your client, so it has no web address to connect to. The quick link is the page to share; the install command is npx -y @google-cloud/gcloud-mcp.

Does gcloud need an API key?

No. It doesn't declare any keys or environment variables. It runs with your user account's permissions, so check what its tools can reach.

Is gcloud a remote or a local server?

Local. Your client starts it as a process on your computer with npx -y @google-cloud/gcloud-mcp, which needs Node.js.

What can gcloud do?

You can run gcloud commands from natural language requests, chain multiple cloud operations in one workflow and restrict commands with allowlist and denylist settings.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that starts local servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. claude.ai and ChatGPT only connect to remote servers.

Who wrote this page?

mcp.tc's robot read gcloud's public metadata (its package and repository pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can't confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
