What it does
The repository hosts four MCP servers for Google Cloud. The gcloud server runs gcloud CLI commands as the active account, with risky and interactive commands on a deny list. The observability server reads logs, metrics, traces, alert policies and error groups. The storage server manages Cloud Storage buckets and objects, and backupdr handles backup vaults, plans and restores.
Who it is for. For engineers who run projects on Google Cloud and want to manage them through an agent.
Good fit when
- You need a Google Cloud operation without recalling gcloud flags
- You need to dig through project logs, metrics or traces
- You need to tidy Cloud Storage buckets or set up backups
Not a fit when
- Your infrastructure is not on Google Cloud
- The active gcloud account has owner rights on production and no limited service account is set up

Limitations
Requires Node.js 20+, the gcloud CLI and a billed Google Cloud account. The server has the same rights as the active gcloud account, so the authors recommend impersonating a service account with a limited role. The project is in preview and is not an officially supported Google product. Google Cloud does not accept sign-ups or payments from Russia.
How to disable. Remove the server block from your MCP client config, or uninstall the extension with gemini extensions uninstall.
FAQ
Can the agent delete resources?
Yes, if the gcloud account is allowed to. The storage and backupdr servers include delete tools, so a service account with a limited role is safer.
Do I need all four servers?
No, each ships as a separate npm package, connect only the ones you need.

README in short
The README lists four servers published as npm packages under @google-cloud, plus a table of their tools. Gemini CLI gets an init command that installs a server as an extension; other clients get an npx JSON snippet. A permissions section explains that rights come from the gcloud account and some commands are blocked. The project is in preview and Apache 2.0 licensed.
