Details
From the project READMEdriveport
Google Drive files as MCP tools, talking to the Google Drive API. driveport is a clean-room rebuild of the core surface of the Google Drive reference MCP server, under a new name: fresh code written from the public Drive API documentation, no copied branding.
Tools (core subset, 8)
search_files, list_files, get_file_metadata, read_file,
create_folder, upload_file, download_file, trash_file.
Permissions and sharing, comments, revisions, the changes feed, team drive administration, resumable or chunked uploads, and files.copy / files.watch from the wider Drive surface are not in this subset.
Setup
Set a Google OAuth access token:
export GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN=ya29....
Optionally override the API base with DRIVE_API_URL
(default https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3). Without the token,
every tool call fails with an error naming the missing variable.
CLI
npx @reneturcios/driveport search_files '{"query":"name contains '\''report'\''"}'
npx @reneturcios/driveport mcp # stdio MCP server
Each tool name is a subcommand taking one JSON object argument.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
