| ChatGPT | 🟡 Yes, through a community server. We found no official Google Docs server in the MCP Registry that ChatGPT can connect to, but 3 live remote community servers work with ChatGPT; the highest-rated is Google_docs (trust grade B). Checked live on 2026-10-18. |
| Claude | ✅ Yes. Claude has a built-in Google Docs connector made by Anthropic (Settings → Connectors). Google Docs itself hasn't published an MCP server we can verify, so third-party Google Docs servers aren't official. Checked 2026-10-18. |
| Copilot | 🟡 Yes, through a community server in VS Code agent mode. Check the publisher first. |
| Plans that can use it | ChatGPT: custom MCP apps via developer mode; full read/write on Business, Enterprise and Edu (admin enables), read/fetch on Pro. Claude: custom connectors on Free (1), Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise; Owners add them for Team/Enterprise. Copilot: VS Code agent mode, subject to your org's MCP policy. |
| What data leaves | Google Docs documents, tasks, calendars and comments returned by tools is sent to the AI vendor as part of the chat. 8 tools: 0 read-only, 8 can change data. |
| Model training | OpenAI and Anthropic business/API plans: not used for training by default. Consumer plans: may be used unless the user opts out. |

Reviewer checklist
- Approve only the official server URL above (none exists, so review the third-party publisher).
- Use a business plan that doesn't train on your data.
- Prefer OAuth with the least-privileged account.
- Decide whether write/delete tools are allowed.
- Re-review when the tools change (get alerts below).
