Google Cloud Launches Preview of CLI Remote MCP Server for AI Agents

Google Cloud has introduced the Google Cloud CLI remote MCP server in preview, giving AI agents access to gcloud and bq command-line operations through two tools, run_gcloud_command and run_bq_command.

The server runs in an isolated, network-restricted execution sandbox on Google Cloud, so teams need no local CLI binaries, and calls are authenticated through Agent Identity, OAuth 2.0, and IAM, with Model Armor screening and Audit Logs available.
