Components
Tools
- gdrive_search
- gdrive_read_file
- gsheets_read
- gsheets_update_cell

gcp-oauth.keys.jsonand place into the path you specify withGDRIVE_CREDS_DIR(i.e./Users/username/.config/mcp-gdrive)
- Note your OAuth Client ID and Client Secret. They must be provided as environment variables along with your configuration directory.
- You will also need to setup a .env file within the project with the following fields. You can find the Client ID and Client Secret in the Credentials section of the Google Cloud Console.
Make sure to build the server with either
npm run build or npm run watch.Authentication
Next you will need to run
node ./dist/index.js to trigger the authentication stepYou will be prompted to authenticate with your browser. You must authenticate with an account in the same organization as your Google Cloud project.
Your OAuth token is saved in the directory specified by the
GDRIVE_CREDS_DIR environment variable.Authentication Prompt
