From the repository
Install the package after creating a Python 3.12+ virtual environment. Obtain Google Drive API credentials (OAuth client ID for Desktop app) from the Google Cloud Console and save as credentials.json. Run the authentication setup script (python -m gdrive_mcp_server.auth_setup --credentials /path/to/credentials.json --token /path/to/tokens.json) to generate a token file. Then start the server with gdrive-mcp (stdio mode) or gdrive-mcp --http (HTTP mode). For Claude Desktop integration, add the command and token path to claude_desktop_config.json.
