GCP Compute Operations
MCP Servers
- Compute Engine:
https://compute.googleapis.com/mcp(Streamable HTTP) - Resource Manager:
https://cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com/mcp(Streamable HTTP) - Auth: OAuth 2.0 via Google IAM — service account key (
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS) orgcloud auth application-default login - Requires:
GCP_PROJECT_IDenvironment variable
Key Difference from On-Prem MCP Servers
Google Cloud MCP servers are remote HTTP endpoints hosted by Google — nothing to install locally. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 / Google IAM, not API keys. The transport is Streamable HTTP, not stdio.

Workflow: GCP Infrastructure Audit
When a user asks "show me our GCP compute resources":
- Discover projects:
search_projectsto list all accessible GCP projects - List instances:
list_instancesper project — name, status, zone, machine type - Network interfaces:
get_instance_basic_infoto see IPs, VPC, subnet per VM - Instance groups:
list_instance_group_managersfor autoscaled workloads - Disk inventory:
list_disks— size, type, attached instances - Report: GCP compute inventory with status and network details
Workflow: VM Troubleshooting
When investigating a GCP VM issue:
- Find the VM:
list_instancesfiltered by name or zone - Get details:
get_instance_basic_info— status, machine type, network interfaces, external IP - Check disks:
list_instance_attached_disks— any missing or detached? - Check operation:
get_zone_operation— any pending/failed operations? - Cross-reference: Use
gcp-cloud-loggingfor instance logs,gcp-cloud-monitoringfor metrics - Report: VM health assessment with findings
Workflow: Capacity Planning
When planning GCP compute capacity:
- Current usage:
list_instances— count by machine type and zone - Reservations:
list_reservations— reserved capacity vs actual usage - Commitments:
list_commitments— CUD utilization and expiration - Available types:
list_machine_types— what's available in target zones - GPU availability:
list_accelerator_types— GPU/TPU options per zone - Report: Capacity utilization with recommendations
Important Rules
- Google Cloud MCP servers are remote — no local install, runs on Google's infrastructure
- OAuth 2.0 authentication — uses service account or user credentials via IAM
- Project-scoped — all operations are scoped to the configured GCP project
- Write operations available — unlike AWS Network MCP, Compute Engine MCP can create/modify/delete VMs. Use ServiceNow CR gating for changes.
- Record in GAIT — log all GCP operations for audit trail
Environment Variables
GCP_PROJECT_ID— Google Cloud project IDGOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS— Path to service account key JSON file (or usegcloud auth application-default login)

testing
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Human-in-the-loop escalation via HumanRail — route low-confidence agent decisions, pre-destructive operation approvals, and ambiguous incident tickets to real human engineers. Human answers are verified and returned as structured output. Workers are paid via Lightning Network. Use when the agent is uncertain, when a destructive change needs explicit human sign-off beyond a ServiceNow CR, or when an ambiguous ticket requires human triage before automated handling.
