Processing File Content Using Gemini CLI with an MCP Server Built by Google Apps Script
Abstract
This report details two methods for processing files using the Gemini CLI and a Google Apps Script MCP server: direct Base64 encoding and indirect transfer via the Google Drive API using ggsrun. The direct method proved ineffective due to token limits. The recommended approach, leveraging ggsrun, allows for efficient, scalable file transfers by using file IDs instead of embedding content within the prompt, enabling advanced automation capabilities.
