The Google-Drive agent connector is a Python package that equips AI agents to interact with Google-Drive through strongly typed, well-documented tools. It's ready to use directly in your Python app, in an agent framework, or exposed through an MCP.
Google Drive is a cloud-based file storage and synchronization service that allows users to store files, share content, and collaborate on documents. This connector provides access to files, shared drives, permissions, comments, replies, revisions, and change tracking, including the ability to create, update, delete, and upload files.
The Google-Drive connector is optimized to handle prompts like these.
The Google-Drive connector isn't currently able to handle prompts like these.
uv pip install airbyte-agent-google-drive
Connectors can run in open source or hosted mode.
In open source mode, you provide API credentials directly to the connector.
from airbyte_agent_google_drive import GoogleDriveConnector
from airbyte_agent_google_drive.models import GoogleDriveAuthConfig
connector = GoogleDriveConnector(
auth_config=GoogleDriveAuthConfig(
access_token="<Your Google OAuth2 Access Token (optional, will be obtained via refresh)>",
refresh_token="<Your Google OAuth2 Refresh Token>",
client_id="<Your Google OAuth2 Client ID>",
client_secret="<Your Google OAuth2 Client Secret>"
)
)
@agent.tool_plain # assumes you're using Pydantic AI
@GoogleDriveConnector.tool_utils
async def google_drive_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})
In hosted mode, API credentials are stored securely in Airbyte Cloud. You provide your Airbyte credentials instead.
If your Airbyte client can access multiple organizations, also set organization_id.
This example assumes you've already authenticated your connector with Airbyte. See Authentication to learn more about authenticating. If you need a step-by-step guide, see the hosted execution tutorial.
from airbyte_agent_google_drive import GoogleDriveConnector, AirbyteAuthConfig
connector = GoogleDriveConnector(
auth_config=AirbyteAuthConfig(
customer_name="<your_customer_name>",
organization_id="<your_organization_id>", # Optional for multi-org clients
airbyte_client_id="<your-client-id>",
airbyte_client_secret="<your-client-secret>"
)
)
@agent.tool_plain # assumes you're using Pydantic AI
@GoogleDriveConnector.tool_utils
async def google_drive_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})
