How to integrate Google Drive MCP with OpenClaw

OpenClaw is the fastest growing agent harness out there, which can work 24/7 to automate almost any kind of tasks. However, its capabilities are limited to the tools it has access to. Composio allows your OpenClaw to access Google Drive with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Google Drive via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer.

Why use Composio?

Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get:

• Programmatic tool calling allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
• Handling Large tool responses out of LLM context to minimize context rot.
• Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 850+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so LLMs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.

How to install Google Drive with OpenClaw

Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt

• Go to dashboard.composio.dev/composio/~/connect/clients/openclaw
• Copy the setup prompt

• Run it in your OpenClaw chat interface.
• Authenticate Google Drive from the dashboard
• Go back to your OpenClaw interface and start asking questions.

Using OpenClaw/Composio Plugin

1. Install OpenClaw Composio plugin

2. Copy the API Key from dashboard.composio.dev

3. Setup OpenClaw Config

openclaw config set plugins.entries.composio.config.consumerKey "ck_your_key_here"

4. Restart OpenClaw

openclaw gateway restart

5. Go to your chat interface and start asking questions.

6. When prompted, authenticate the app and you're all set.

How It Works

The plugin connects to Composio's MCP server at https://connect.composio.dev/mcp and registers all available tools directly into the OpenClaw agent. Tools are called by name — no extra search or execute steps needed.

If a tool returns an auth error, the agent will prompt you to connect that toolkit at dashboard.composio.dev.

Configuration

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "composio": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": {
          "consumerKey": "ck_your_key_here"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

The Googledrive MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Google Drive account. It provides structured and secure access to your files and folders, so your agent can perform actions like uploading files, managing sharing permissions, organizing folders, and collaborating via comments on your behalf.

• Automated file uploads and creation: Effortlessly ask your agent to create new files or folders, upload documents, or generate files from provided text content in your Google Drive.
• Advanced sharing and permission management: Let your agent modify sharing preferences for files and folders, granting or revoking access to users, groups, domains, or the public.
• Collaboration through comments and replies: Have the agent add comments to files, reply to existing comments, or delete comments to facilitate smooth collaboration with your team.
• Efficient folder and shortcut organization: Direct your agent to create, organize, or nest folders, or generate shortcuts to important files and folders for easier access.
• File duplication and backup: Instruct your agent to duplicate existing files, creating reliable backups or templates for repeated use.
