Registries describe servers; they do not connect to them. Until a check runs, treat the tool list below as a claim.\n\n## Connect\n\nPublished as `@piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp` on npm.

My Drive) on 2.2.0 despite full auth/drive scope\n\n## Summary\n\nOn `2.2.0` (the current latest), the server cannot see any Shared Drive content **and** `search` returns zero results even for My Drive, despite the OAuth token holding the full `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive` scope and the same Google account being able to reach the files fine via the Drive REST API directly.
