A remote server run by Google Compute Engine itself — nothing to install. Documented at docs.cloud.google.com.
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.
- Enable Developer mode under Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced
- Choose Create and paste
https://compute.googleapis.com/mcp - Complete sign-in, then enable the connector in a new chat

Do I need to install anything to use the Google Compute Engine MCP server?
No. It is a remote server hosted by Google Compute Engine, so your MCP client connects to it over HTTP. You authenticate with the vendor rather than installing a package.
