  4. Add OAuth scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly
  5. Create an OAuth Client ID for application type "Desktop App"
  6. Download the JSON file of your client's OAuth keys
  7. Rename the key file to gcp-oauth.keys.json and place into the root of this repo (i.e. servers/gcp-oauth.keys.json)

Make sure to build the server with either npm run build or npm run watch.

Authentication

To authenticate and save credentials:

  1. Run the server with the auth argument: node ./dist auth
  2. This will open an authentication flow in your system browser
  3. Complete the authentication process
  4. Credentials will be saved in the root of this repo (i.e. servers/.gdrive-server-credentials.json)

Usage with Desktop App

To integrate this server with the desktop app, add the following to your app's server configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "gdrive": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-gdrive" ] } } }
