Agent skills for Google Cloud

1

The MCP server gives the agent Google Cloud's tools; a skill teaches it how to use Google Cloud well. Install with the skills CLI or see each skill's page for Claude Code, Codex, Copilot and Cursor.

  • gcloud CLIGoogle

    Adds safety checks and guardrails when the agent plans or runs gcloud commands on Google Cloud.

    npx skills add google/skills --skill gcloud

Which one to pick

  • Start with Google Cloud Run: it's maintained by Google and follows its API.
  • A remote server (AlloyDB, Cloud Logging, Cloud Monitoring, Cloud SQL, Compute Engine, Google Developer Knowledge, Google Kubernetes Engine, Pub/Sub and Spanner) needs no install and signs you in with OAuth. It's also the only kind ChatGPT and claude.ai can use.

FAQ

Is there an official Google Cloud MCP server?+

Yes: Google Cloud Run, AlloyDB, Cloud Logging, Cloud Monitoring, Cloud SQL, Compute Engine, Google Developer Knowledge, Google Kubernetes Engine, Pub/Sub and Spanner, maintained by Google.

How do I connect Google Cloud to Claude?+

In Claude Code, run the claude mcp add command shown above. In Claude Desktop, add the server to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings > Developer > Edit Config) and restart the app.

How do I use the Google Cloud MCP server in Cursor or VS Code?+

Open the Cursor or VS Code tab on the server above: it has the exact mcp.json entry. The same server also works in Claude Code, Claude Desktop / claude.ai, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and Codex.

Can I use the Google Cloud MCP server in ChatGPT?+

ChatGPT connects to remote MCP servers only. AlloyDB, Cloud Logging, Cloud Monitoring, Cloud SQL, Compute Engine, Google Developer Knowledge, Google Kubernetes Engine, Pub/Sub and Spanner have a hosted URL: at chatgpt.com/plugins choose + > Add custom MCP server, paste the URL and create it as a plugin.

Is it safe to give an AI agent access to Google Cloud?+

Start with the official server, a read-only or test account and approval prompts on for anything that writes. Content the agent reads from Google Cloud (tickets, messages, pages) can carry prompt-injection instructions, so don't auto-approve actions.
