How do you connect Claude to Google Drive via MCP?

Step-by-step Connection

1. Create a project in the Google Cloud Console, enable the Google Drive API, and create OAuth 2.0 Client credentials. Download the JSON credentials file.
2. Install the Google Drive MCP server: npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/server-google-drive.
3. Add the configuration block pointing to your credentials file to your claude_desktop_config.json file:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "google-drive": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": [
           "-y",
           "@modelcontextprotocol/server-google-drive",
           "--credentials",
           "/absolute/path/to/your/oauth-credentials.json"
         ]
       }
     }
   }

4. Restart Claude Desktop, and complete the OAuth authentication request inside your browser to link Google Drive.
