Google Cloud MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Google Cloud services including Logging, Spanner, Monitoring, and Cloud Trace.

Features

  • Google Cloud Logging: Query logs, list log entries, and search across different log sources

  • Google Cloud Spanner: Execute queries, list databases and instances, get schema information

  • Google Cloud Monitoring: Query metrics, list metric descriptors, get monitoring data

  • Google Cloud Trace: Retrieve trace data and analyze distributed system performance

  • Resource Discovery: Automatically discover and list available Google Cloud resources

  • Project Management: Tools for managing Google Cloud project settings

Related MCP server: Cloud Logging API Server

Transport Support

This server supports two transport modes:

1. Stdio Transport (Default)

The traditional MCP stdio transport for use with MCP clients like Claude Desktop.

2. HTTP Transport (New!)

A web-based HTTP transport implementing the MCP Streamable HTTP specification.

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd google-cloud-mcp

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Build the project
pnpm build

Configuration

Environment Variables

  • GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS: Path to your Google Cloud service account key file

  • GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT: Your default Google Cloud project ID

  • GOOGLE_CLIENT_EMAIL: Service account email (alternative to credentials file)

  • GOOGLE_PRIVATE_KEY: Service account private key (alternative to credentials file)

  • LAZY_AUTH: Set to 'false' to initialize auth immediately (default: 'true')

  • DEBUG: Set to 'true' for debug logging

  • MCP_TRANSPORT: Transport type - 'stdio' (default) or 'http'

  • MCP_HTTP_PORT: Port for HTTP transport (default: 3000)

Google Cloud Authentication

You can authenticate in several ways:

  1. Service Account Key File (Recommended):

    export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/service-account-key.json
  2. Environment Variables:

    export GOOGLE_CLIENT_EMAIL=your-service-account@project.iam.gserviceaccount.com
    export GOOGLE_PRIVATE_KEY="-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n"
  3. Application Default Credentials: If running on Google Cloud, ADC will be used automatically.

Usage

Using Stdio Transport (Default)

# Start with stdio transport
pnpm start

# Or explicitly specify stdio
MCP_TRANSPORT=stdio pnpm start

Using HTTP Transport

# Start with HTTP transport
MCP_TRANSPORT=http pnpm start

# Or with custom port
MCP_TRANSPORT=http MCP_HTTP_PORT=8080 pnpm start

When using HTTP transport, the server will be available at:

  • MCP Endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp

  • Health Check: http://127.0.0.1:3000/health

HTTP Transport Features

The HTTP transport implements the MCP Streamable HTTP specification with:

  • Session Management: Automatic session ID assignment and tracking

  • Server-Sent Events (SSE): For real-time communication and server-initiated messages

  • Request/Response Handling: Proper JSON-RPC 2.0 message handling

  • Security: Origin validation to prevent DNS rebinding attacks

  • CORS Support: Cross-origin requests support for web applications

  • Connection Management: Automatic cleanup of stale connections

HTTP Transport Usage Examples

Initialize Connection

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "initialize",
    "params": {
      "protocolVersion": "2024-11-05",
      "capabilities": {},
      "clientInfo": {
        "name": "test-client",
        "version": "1.0.0"
      }
    }
  }'

The response will include a Mcp-Session-Id header that should be used in subsequent requests.

Make Requests with Session

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Mcp-Session-Id: <session-id>" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 2,
    "method": "tools/list",
    "params": {}
  }'

Server-Sent Events Stream

curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -H "Mcp-Session-Id: <session-id>"

Troubleshooting

Authentication Issues

  1. Check your credentials:

    gcloud auth application-default login
  2. Verify service account permissions:

    • Logging Viewer

    • Spanner Database User

    • Monitoring Viewer

    • Cloud Trace User

  3. Test authentication:

    DEBUG=true pnpm start

HTTP Transport Issues

  1. Port conflicts: If port 3000 is in use, specify a different port:

    MCP_HTTP_PORT=8080 MCP_TRANSPORT=http pnpm start
  2. CORS issues: The server only accepts requests from localhost, 127.0.0.1, and .local domains for security.

  3. Session management: Make sure to include the Mcp-Session-Id header in requests after initialization.

Performance Issues

  1. Enable lazy authentication:

    LAZY_AUTH=true pnpm start
  2. Reduce logging verbosity: Remove DEBUG=true from production environments.

Security Considerations

HTTP Transport Security

  • The server binds only to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) by default

  • Origin header validation prevents DNS rebinding attacks

  • Sessions are automatically cleaned up

  • Request timeouts prevent resource exhaustion

Google Cloud Security

  • Use service accounts with minimal required permissions

  • Regularly rotate service account keys

  • Monitor access logs for unusual activity

  • Use VPC-native clusters when possible

D1/5.0
Behavior1/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Tool has no description.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness1/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Tool has no description.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Tool has no description.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Tool has no description.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose1/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Tool has no description.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

D1.8/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes targeting different Google Cloud services (Spanner, Cloud Trace, Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging), though some overlap exists between query tools like 'query-logs' and 'find-traces-from-logs' which might cause confusion. The natural language query tools for different services are clearly differentiated by their target domains.

Naming Consistency3/5

The naming follows a mostly consistent verb-noun pattern with hyphens, but there are inconsistencies: 'get-project-id' and 'set-project-id' use a different structure than others, and some tools use compound nouns (e.g., 'natural-language-metrics-query') while others are simpler. The overall pattern is readable but mixed.

Tool Count4/5

With 17 tools, the count is slightly high but reasonable for covering multiple Google Cloud services like Spanner, Trace, Logging, and Monitoring. It provides a comprehensive surface without being overwhelming, though it borders on the heavy side for a single server.

Completeness3/5

The tool set covers querying and listing operations for Spanner, Trace, Logging, and Monitoring, but lacks obvious CRUD operations (e.g., create/update/delete resources) and management functions. This creates gaps for full lifecycle management, though core query workflows are supported.
