About Cloud Run MCP

Google Cloud managed MCP server for Cloud Run. Exact tool names and accessible operations depend on the published server reference and configured Google Cloud permissions.

What you can use it for

  • Get info about a Cloud Run service, such as its URI and whether the deploy succeeded.
  • List Cloud Run services in a given Google Cloud project and region.
  • Deploy a container image from Artifact Registry or Docker Hub as a Cloud Run service.
  • Deploy a Cloud Run service directly from a self-contained source code archive (.tar.gz), skipping the container image build step for faster deployment. The archive must include all dependencies: For compiled languages (Go, Java), include pre-compiled binaries. For scripting languages (Python, Node.js), include pre-installed libraries (e.g., vendor/, node_modules/). Deployment steps: Package source code and dependencies into a .tar.gz archive (max 250MiB). It's recommended to create archive from the root of the application's source directory. Upload the archive to a Google Cloud Storage bucket, preferably in the same region as the service. Deploy to Cloud Run using this tool, specifying: source_code: Google Cloud Storage object path to the archive (e.g., gs://bucket/object) . command: Command to start the application. base_image_uri: Base image for the container (e.g., go124, nodejs24, python314). See https://docs.cloud.google.com/run/docs/configuring/services/runtime-base-images for options. The runtime picked should match the local environment. args: (Optional) Arguments for the command. env: (Optional) Environment variables (e.g., name: PYTHONPATH , value: ./vendor ). ports: (Optional) Container ports to expose (defaults to 8080).
  • Deploys a Cloud Run service directly from local source files. This method is suitable for scripting languages like Python and Node.js, of which the source code can be embedded in the request. This is ideal for quick tests and development feedback loops. You must include all necessary dependencies within the source files because it skips the build step for faster deployment. Key Requirements: source_code: Should set to sourceCode.inlinedSource.sources with array of source files, each having filename and content . Size limit: you are subject to total request size limit of 50MiB.
Connection and setup
Hosting
Google-managed remote
Transport
Streamable HTTP
Endpoint
https://run.googleapis.com/mcp
Authentication
Google Cloud authentication: OAuth 2.0 using Application Default Credentials (ADC) in supported Google clients, or a client OAuth ID/secret or bearer token in compatible third-party clients. The principal needs mcp.tools.call plus the underlying product permissions; API key authentication is only available for services that explicitly support it.

Requirements

  • A Google Cloud project and access to the target product/resource.
  • Enable this MCP service and its underlying Google Cloud API as required by the product guide.
  • An MCP client that supports Streamable HTTP.
  • An identity with the MCP Tool User role (roles/mcp.toolUser) or equivalent mcp.tools.call permission, plus permissions for the underlying product operations.

Setup steps

  1. Choose the correct global or regional endpoint for your data location; this catalog lists the documented endpoint.
  2. In the Google Cloud project, enable the MCP service and the underlying product API if the product guide requires it.
  3. Authenticate the client with Google Cloud ADC (simplest with Antigravity/Gemini CLI) or configure OAuth 2.0 credentials in a compatible client.
  4. Grant the connecting identity roles/mcp.toolUser and only the product IAM roles needed for the intended operations.
  5. Add run.googleapis.com to the client as a Streamable HTTP MCP server and complete sign-in.
  6. Refresh the client tool list and check that the tools match the product reference; availability may depend on permissions and selected toolset.
Tools 5

Five tools list/get services and deploy from image, archive or inline source. Deployments create/replace services and can incur Cloud Run/Artifact Registry charges; inspect source, environment and IAM. Archive max 250 MiB; inline payload 50 MiB.

  • get_service

    Get info about a Cloud Run service, such as its URI and whether the deploy succeeded.

    02
  • deploy_service_from_image

  • deploy_service_from_file_contents

    Deploys a Cloud Run service directly from local source files. This method is suitable for scripting languages like Python and Node.js, of which the source code can be embedded in the request. This is ideal for quick tests and development feedback loops. You must include all necessary dependencies within the source files because it skips the build step for faster deployment. Key Requirements: source_code: Should set to sourceCode.inlinedSource.sources with array of source files, each having filename and content . Size limit: you are subject to total request size limit of 50MiB.
