Connect setup

Google Drive uses Google’s OAuth 2.0 with PKCE. You need a Google Cloud project with the Google Drive API enabled and OAuth credentials configured for a Web application.

Create a Google Cloud OAuth client

Go to Google Cloud Console → APIs & Services → Credentials, choose Create credentials → OAuth client ID → Web application, then copy the Client ID and Client Secret.

Add the redirect URI

Under Authorized redirect URIs, add:

https://api.routemcp.io/api/v1/connect/oauth/callback

Enable the Google Drive API

In APIs & Services → Library, search for Google Drive API and click Enable on the same Google Cloud project.

Configure required scopes

Add these scopes on the OAuth consent screen:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive
openid
email
profile

Connect via the widget

The end user opens the Connect widget, picks Google Drive, and is sent through the OAuth consent screen.
