Google Cloud Storage integration
Google Cloud Storage for secure and scalable object storage. Store and retrieve data of any size with global availability, fine-grained access control, and seamless integration with Google Cloud services. Essential for building applications requiring reliable cloud storage, data analytics, and content delivery.
Common Google Cloud Storage use cases
- Cleaning up temporary files and expired content
- Creating backup copies across buckets or regions
- Assembling large files uploaded in parallel chunks
- Inspecting bucket configuration for troubleshooting
- Cleaning up temporary or test buckets after projects
- Downloading user files and media in web applications
- Browsing HNS bucket folder structures in file managers
- Auditing bucket access permissions for security compliance
- Uploading user-generated content like images and documents
- Provisioning storage for new applications or data pipelines
What you can do with Google Cloud Storage
Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.
Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.
Object, 7 operations
- POSTcompose_objects
Combines multiple source objects into a single destination object.
- POSTcopy_object
Creates a copy of an object within Cloud Storage or across buckets.
- DELETEdelete_object
Permanently removes an object from a Cloud Storage bucket.
- GETdownload_object
Downloads the complete binary or text content of a Cloud Storage object.
- GETget_object_metadata
Retrieves comprehensive metadata for a Cloud Storage object without downloading content.
- GETlist_objects
Retrieves a paginated list of objects stored in a Cloud Storage bucket.
- POSTupload_object
Uploads a new object or replaces an existing object in Cloud Storage.
Bucket, 5 operations
- POSTcreate_bucket
Creates a new Cloud Storage bucket with specified configuration in a GCP project.
- DELETEdelete_bucket
Permanently removes an empty Cloud Storage bucket from the GCP project.
- GETget_bucket
Retrieves detailed metadata and configuration for a specific Cloud Storage bucket.
- GETget_bucket_iam_policy
Retrieves the IAM policy configuration for a Cloud Storage bucket.
- GETlist_buckets
Retrieves a list of all Cloud Storage buckets within a GCP project.
Folder, 1 operation
- GETlist_folders
Lists folders within a Cloud Storage bucket that has hierarchical namespace (HNS) enabled.
OAuth scopes Google Cloud Storage requires
Each operation declares the scopes Google Cloud Storage requires for it.

Google Cloud Storage API rate limits
- 1,000 requests per second
Per-bucket initial baseline (verified 2026-05-28 on docs.cloud.google.com/storage/quotas): ~1,000 object writes/sec and ~5,000 object reads/sec, auto-scaling beyond. Batch JSON API requests cap at 100 calls and <10 MiB total.
These are the limits Google Cloud Storage documents, not ones LiveContext measured. They can change and often depend on your plan, so check the Google Cloud Storage documentation for current values.
Use Google Cloud Storage from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex
Connect Google Cloud Storage in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Google Cloud Storage operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.
claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"
[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"{
"mcpServers": {
"livecontext": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}How to connect Google Cloud Storage
Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect Google Cloud Storage once
Add your Google Cloud Storage connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
Describe the job in chat
The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
