Google Docs MCP integration
Finds and reads documents, drafts new ones from markdown, inserts text, tables, and images, and exports to PDF.
33actions available
Three actions you can hand over today
Every action runs live through MCP. Nothing to build, nothing to maintain.
Get document by ID
Lyro retrieves an existing Google Doc by its ID to pull its content. Whoever's asking gets the document's text without anyone opening Google Docs to find it.
Update document section markdown
Lyro inserts or replaces a section of a Google Doc using Markdown content. A document update that used to mean manual editing happens automatically instead.
Export google doc as PDF
Lyro exports a Google Doc as a PDF file through the Google Drive API. Whoever needs a shareable, uneditable copy gets one without opening Google Docs.
How businesses use Google Docs + Lyro
Each card is one request a support team gets, and the Google Docs actions Lyro runs to close it.
Answer from the document that already says it
Lyro searches for the doc covering a question and reads its plain text, so an internal process or a signed-off spec is quoted from the current version rather than someone's recollection.
Search DocumentsGet Document Plain TextGet Document By IdDraft the document from what was just discussed
Lyro creates the doc from markdown, so headings, lists, and emphasis arrive formatted, then inserts the extra section or image the draft still needs.
Create Document MarkdownInsert Text Into DocumentInsert Inline ImageGive a long document structure
Lyro adds the table the data belongs in, sets a running header, and turns a block of lines into bullets, so a generated report reads like something a person laid out.
Insert Table In Google DocCreate HeaderCreate Paragraph BulletsUpdate and hand off a finished doc
Lyro replaces the phrase that changed everywhere it appears, takes a copy before a heavy rewrite, and exports the result as a PDF for whoever needs it outside the workspace.

How it works
Get started in 3 steps
Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the Google Docs actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.
- 01
Connect Google Docs
Authorize the Google Docs account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.
- 02
Tell your agent what you need
Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the Google Docs actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.
- 03
Watch it work
The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.

FAQ
Everything else about Google Docs
Setup, permissions, and the limits of what Lyro can do inside Google Docs.
Yes. Update Document Section Markdown replaces a single named section while the rest of the document stays untouched, and Update Document Markdown rewrites the whole body when that is what you want. Both take markdown, so formatting survives the round trip.
