Google Docs MCP Server — Read & Write Access for Agents — n8n Workflow

Medium complexity⚡ Trigger15 nodes💎 Otherby Louis Chan

Overview

How it works

This workflow creates an MCP server that allows coding agents (e.g. Claude, ChatGPT with MCP support, Clawed Code) to interact with Google Docs programmatically.

What users can do

Search for files in Google Drive Create new Google Docs Get document content Update docs with: Find & Replace Insert text Add page breaks Bullet and numbered lists Check
