🔧 Cursor MCP Integration

Automatic Integration

The MCP server is designed to work seamlessly with Cursor. Add this configuration to your ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-google-drive": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-google-drive@latest"],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY": "your-service-account-json",
        "MCP_MODE": "stdio",
        "LOG_LEVEL": "info",
        "DISABLE_CONSOLE_OUTPUT": "false"
      },
      "cwd": "/path/to/your/project"
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting Cursor Integration

If MCP tools are not working in Cursor:

1. Restart Cursor after updating mcp.json

2. Check MCP Status: Command Palette → "MCP: Show Servers"

3. Verify Connection: Command Palette → "MCP: Test Connection"

4. Check Logs: Look for MCP server startup messages

Manual Server Start

If automatic integration fails, you can start the server manually:

# In your project directory
npm run start

# Or globally
npx mcp-google-drive
