A remote server run by Google Compute Engine itself — nothing to install. Documented at docs.cloud.google.com.
Connect it
Hosted by the vendor — no install, connect over HTTP with OAuth or a token.
Add it from the terminal, then restart your session:
claude mcp add --transport http googlecomputeengine https://compute.googleapis.com/mcpAdd --scope user to make it available in every project.
- Open Settings → Connectors
- Click Add custom connector
- Paste
https://compute.googleapis.com/mcp - Finish the sign-in prompt, then enable it in the chat's tools menu
Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for
every project:
{
"mcpServers": {
"googlecomputeengine": {
"url": "https://compute.googleapis.com/mcp"
}
}
}A green dot in Settings → MCP means it connected.
Add to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"googlecomputeengine": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://compute.googleapis.com/mcp"
}
}
}Then pick the server from the tools menu in Copilot's agent mode.
