## What google-cloud-storage does, in the publisher's words

The official plugin for Google Cloud Storage. It bundles a growing collection of Agent Skills with a Cloud Storage MCP server, so your coding agent gets both vetted GCS expertise and structured tools for buckets and objects.

The skills let you work with your storage resources through natural language in your preferred CLI or IDE: everyday bucket and object management, file-system mounts with Cloud Storage FUSE, access-error diagnostics, security assessments, and infrastructure code generation.

> [!NOTE] > This plugin is under active development. More skills will be added > over time.

## Skills

- gcs-security-assessment: Assesses the security posture of Google Cloud Storage (GCS) buckets and projects. Grounds every finding in gathered telemetry, evaluates buckets against Google security best practices (public access, IAM over-granting, CMEK, VPC Service Controls, audit logging), and correlates signals to flag toxic…
- google-cloud-storage-basics: Stores, retrieves, and manages data as objects in Cloud Storage (Google Cloud Storage, or GCS) buckets. Use when you need to interact with Cloud Storage, create or configure buckets, upload, download, stream, or transfer data, organize objects with folders, generate signed URLs, control access (IA…
- google-cloud-storage-bucket-architect: Creates Cloud Storage (Google Cloud Storage, or GCS) buckets. Analyzes the workload (sensitive data, media hosting, ingestion, web hosting, archiving, backup, logging, analytics, AI/ML, or general-purpose), validates project-level security settings, and designs a secure-by-default, cost-effective c…
- google-cloud-storage-diagnostic: Troubleshoots and diagnoses Google Cloud Storage (GCS) errors, permission denials, and access control issues. Use when a user encounters a 403 Permission Denied error on a Google Cloud bucket or object, or needs help diagnosing and resolving GCS IAM bindings, ACLs, UBLA, or service agent configurat…
- google-cloud-storage-fuse: Mounts Cloud Storage buckets as a POSIX file system with Cloud Storage FUSE (gcsfuse). Use when you need to interact with gcsfuse, decide whether FUSE, native gs:// reads, or Filestore/Managed Lustre fits a workload, deploy tuned mounts on GKE, Compute Engine, or Cloud Run, enable and size the fil…
