Getting started
1. Create a new Google Cloud project
2. Enable the Google Drive API
3. Configure an OAuth consent screen ("internal" is fine for testing)
4. Add OAuth scopes https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets
5. In order to allow interaction with sheets and docs you will also need to enable the Google Sheets API and Google Docs API in your workspaces Enabled API and Services section.
6. Create an OAuth Client ID for application type "Desktop App"
7. Download the JSON file of your client's OAuth keys
8. Rename the key file to gcp-oauth.keys.json and place into the path you specify with GDRIVE_CREDS_DIR (i.e. /Users/username/.config/mcp-gdrive)
9. Note your OAuth Client ID and Client Secret. They must be provided as environment variables along with your configuration directory.
10. 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.
