google-cloud-storage-basics
From the author
Stores, retrieves, and manages data as objects in Cloud Storage on Google Cloud (also known colloquially as GCS) buckets. Use when you need to interact with Cloud Storage — set up a Storage MCP server (remote or local Toolbox), create or configure buckets, upload, download, stream, or transfer data, organize objects with folders, generate signed URLs, control access (IAM, ACLs, public access prevention), set storage classes (Standard, Nearline, Coldline, Archive), manage lifecycle and cost, protect data (versioning, CMEK, retention, Bucket Lock, holds, soft delete), host static websites, trigger Pub/Sub notifications, mount buckets (gcsfuse), or optimize performance. Covers gcloud storage / gsutil, JSON/XML APIs, client libraries, Terraform, and Cloud Storage MCP servers. Don't use for generic MCP setup that doesn't mention Cloud Storage, other MCP servers, block storage (Persistent Disk), BigQuery, or databases (Cloud SQL, Spanner, Bigtable, Firestore).

- google-cloud-storage-bucket-architectgoogle/skillsCreates Cloud Storage on Google Cloud (also known colloquially as 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 configuration (location, storage class, uniform bucket-level access, public access prevention, soft delete, lifecycle) before creating it. Use whenever a user wants to create, make, set up, provision, or spin up a bucket, or needs object storage for an app, service, pipeline, or dataset — even a "simple" or "default" bucket, or when bucket creation is one step in a larger workflow. Outputs or executes the creation via gcloud, the JSON/REST API, Terraform, or SDK client libraries (C++, Java, Python, Go). Don't use for anything other than creating new buckets — for uploads, downloads, access changes, or reconfiguring existing buckets, use google-cloud-storage-basics.OfficialPlanning★ 21.5K
- google-cloud-storage-fusegoogle/skillsMounts Cloud Storage buckets on Google Cloud as a POSIX file system with Cloud Storage FUSE (gcsfuse). Use when interacting with gcsfuse or Cloud Storage FUSE mounts: 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 file, stat, and list caches, tune mount flags (--implicit-dirs) or config files, apply workload profiles, keep ML checkpointing safe (rename atomicity, hierarchical namespace/HNS, close-time finalization, concurrent writers), or diagnose slow training, low throughput, or bill spikes with gcsfuse metrics. Covers mount semantics, gcsfuse CLI and configs, GKE gcsfuse CSI driver (Workload Identity principal:// bindings, profile StorageClasses, sidecar sizing), and Cloud Run volume mounts. Don't use for bucket administration without a mount (google-cloud-storage-basics) or POSIX shared file systems (Filestore, Managed Lustre; use gke-storage).OfficialDevOps★ 21.5K
- gcloudgoogle/skillsProvides safety-critical validation, guardrails, and data reduction for gcloud CLI operations across Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services and infrastructure. Use when planning, generating, constructing, proposing, describing, or executing any gcloud CLI commands - including when answering questions about gcloud syntax, or formatting flags. Don't use when writing Google Cloud client library code or raw REST/gRPC API requests.OfficialDevOps★ 21.5K
- cloud-monitoring-metric-selectiongoogle/skillsRetrieve, query, and identify relevant Cloud Monitoring metric descriptors on Google Cloud for a service or resource (such as Compute Engine, Spanner, BigQuery, Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, etc.). Use when asked to find, list, search, or discover GCP metric types, names, kind/value schemas, or descriptors.OfficialDevOps★ 21.5K
- cloud-run-basicsgoogle/skillsManages Cloud Run services, jobs, and worker pools. Use when you need to deploy applications responding to HTTP requests (services), run event-triggered or scheduled tasks (jobs), or handle always-on pull-based background processing (worker pools).OfficialDevOps★ 21.5K
- gke-storagegoogle/skillsManages GKE storage, including PVCs, PersistentVolumes, and Filestore. Use when configuring GKE storage or creating PVCs. For GCS FUSE mounts, use google-cloud-storage-fuse. For diagnosing storage failures (volume attach/mount errors, disk performance/node storage pressure, or Cloud Storage FUSE OOM), use gke-storage-troubleshooting. Don't use for database administration or replication strategies outside volume provisioning context.OfficialData★ 21.5K
