Colab Drive MCP

Overview

Colab Drive MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that synchronizes Colab notebook files through Google Drive without executing notebook code. It lets AI assistants access your Colab notebooks as callable tools, eliminating the need to manually copy and paste between applications.

The server runs locally via the Python package colab-drive-mcp, installed with uvx colab-drive-mcp. You'll need to set the COLAB_MCP_ROOT environment variable and provide an API Key for authentication. Version v0.1.3 is available now under the MIT license, with full source code at YummyTastyCode/colab-drive-mcp on GitHub.

Colab Drive MCP is listed in the AI & Agents category on mcp.site and works with all major MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this server, claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
