Unclear Which setting turns this on, and so whether it is available to you, is not stated.
What
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the way Claude Code connects to outside tools and services. When an MCP tool refers to files in Drive, Claude Code now handles a list of file references in one call. Before, it handled one reference per call.
It also changes how uploads are approved:
Approved uploads are recorded per account, so an approval is remembered.
A new refusal covers the case where there is nobody available to approve the upload.
Claude Code also records whether file references are available. The whole behaviour sits behind a setting that is off unless it is switched on remotely.
Why
Uploading Drive files through MCP needs fewer repeated approvals and fails with a clearer reason when approval is impossible.
