Google Launches Managed Remote Mcp Servers For Its Cloud Services

Model Context Protocol (MCP) has go nan de facto modular for ample connection models (LLMs) to interact pinch third-party services, and to alteration this, those third-party services must connection an MCP server that nan LLM tin link to. At this point, moreover arsenic MCP has hardly turned a twelvemonth old, virtually each online work features an MCP server. Today, Google is extending its MCP support by offering fully managed MCP servers for galore of its Google and Google Cloud services — pinch galore much to come.

Until now, developers had to usage Google’s community-built section servers aliases deploy unfastened root solutions, which, arsenic Google notes, were often difficult to instal and manage. By offering these caller managed MCP servers, Google is removing each of this further work, making it acold easier for a developer to build an supplier that is backed by Google’s caller Gemini 3 model, for example, and that connects to some nan BigQuery information work and Google Maps to enrich this information pinch geospatial information.

“With these caller and extended MCP capabilities, we are ensuring developers and agents tin easy interact pinch information and return actions too. Google is committed to starring nan AI gyration not conscionable by building nan champion models, but besides by building nan champion ecosystem for those models and agents to thrive,” Michael Bachman, Google’s VP and GM of Google Cloud, and Anna Berenberg, Google Cloud engineering fellow, constitute successful today’s announcement.

BigQuery and Maps are among nan first services to get nan caller managed MCP servers, together pinch nan Google Compute Engine (GCE), which will let agents to negociate infrastructure workflows and proviso and resize instances, for example, arsenic good arsenic nan Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), which will connection a server that allows agents to activity pinch nan Kubernetes and GKE APIs.

Here are nan different services that will besides get MCP support successful nan coming months:

• Projects, compute and storage: Cloud Run, Cloud Storage, Cloud Resource Manager
• Databases and analytics: AlloyDB, Cloud SQL, Spanner, Looker, Pub/Sub, Dataplex Universal Catalog
• Security: Google Security Operations (SecOps)
• Cloud operations: Cloud Logging, Cloud Monitoring
• Google services: Developer Knowledge API, Android Management API

To discover, govern, usage and show these services, Google is utilizing nan Cloud API Registry, which is still successful preview. The Registry will supply each nan specifications of which APIs and devices are disposable for nan agents to usage (and which features of these APIs they tin access).

Today’s announcement comes a time aft Anthropic donated nan MCP protocol specs to nan Linux Foundation arsenic portion of nan caller vendor-neutral Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF).

“Google‘s support for MCP crossed specified a divers scope of products, mixed pinch their adjacent collaboration connected nan specification, will thief much developers build agentic AI applications,” said David Soria Parra, a co-creator of MCP and personnel of method unit astatine Anthropic. “As take grows among starring platforms, it brings america person to agentic AI that useful seamlessly crossed nan devices and services group already use.”

Google’s Apigee API guidance work is besides getting extended MCP support, allowing enterprises to negociate their civilization MCP servers and really agents entree them from nan aforesaid instrumentality they already usage to negociate their APIs.
