This workflow is designed to act as an MCP (Machine Communication Protocol) server trigger for Google Drive. It listens for execution requests from other workflows, downloads specified files from Google Drive, and processes them into a text format suitable for AI agents. It handles various file types including PDFs and CSVs, with considerations for binary formats.
Key Features
- Listens for execution requests via an MCP server trigger.
- Downloads files from Google Drive using their IDs.
- Converts Google Drive files (e.g., Docs, Slides) to plain text or PDF.
- Extracts and formats content from PDF and CSV files.
- Routes file processing based on MIME type.
- Provides a mechanism for handling binary formats like images, audio, and video through multimodal LLMs.
