## Description

Add a single row to a Google Sheet. By default the row is appended to the end. To INSERT the row at a specific position instead — pushing the rows at and below that position DOWN without overwriting them — set Row Index (e.g. Row Index 2 inserts directly below a header row). Use this tool (not Update Row or Update Multiple Rows) whenever the goal is to insert a row between existing rows or add a row while keeping every current row: the Update tools overwrite cells in place and do NOT shift rows down. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/reference/rest/v4/spreadsheets.values/append)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `drive` | `string` | No | Select a specific drive to search. Defaults to All Drives (My Drive and all Shared Drives you have access to) when no selection is made. To limit to your personal drive or a Shared Drive, select it from this list. Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `sheetId` | `string` | Yes | Select a spreadsheet or provide a spreadsheet ID Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `worksheetId` | `integer` | Yes | Select a worksheet or enter a custom expression. When referencing a spreadsheet dynamically, you must provide a custom expression for the worksheet. Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `rowIndex` | `integer` | No | The row number where the new row should be inserted (e.g., 2 to insert after the header row, shifting existing data down). If not specified, the row will be appended to the end of the sheet. Note: Row numbers start at 1. |
| `myColumnData` | `string[]` | Yes | Values for each cell of the row, as an array or JSON-serialized array string (e.g. ["Alice","30","Engineer"]). Accepts strings, numbers, and booleans; use an empty string for a blank cell. |

## Run it

await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
