## 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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a Google Cloud OAuth client">
    Go to [Google Cloud Console → APIs & Services → Credentials](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials), choose **Create credentials → OAuth client ID → Web application**, then copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the redirect URI">
    Under **Authorized redirect URIs**, add:

    ```
    https://api.routemcp.io/api/v1/connect/oauth/callback
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable the Google Drive API">
    In **APIs & Services → Library**, search for **Google Drive API** and click **Enable** on the same Google Cloud project.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure required scopes">
    Add these scopes on the OAuth consent screen:

    * `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive`
    * `openid`
    * `email`
    * `profile`
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect via the widget">
    The end user opens the Connect widget, picks Google Drive, and is sent through the OAuth consent screen.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Usage

### Through the chat endpoint (recommended)

```bash theme={null}
# List all PDF files in my Google Drive
curl -N -X POST "https://api.routemcp.io/api/v1/mcp/<workspace_id>/chat" \
  -H "x-api-key: sk_live_your_key" \
  -H "x-session-id: user-42" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"message": "List all PDF files in my Google Drive."}'

# Share the Q4 Report file with alice@example.com as an editor
curl -N -X POST "https://api.routemcp.io/api/v1/mcp/<workspace_id>/chat" \
  -H "x-api-key: sk_live_your_key" \
  -H "x-session-id: user-42" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"message": "Share the Q4 Report file with alice@example.com as an editor."}'
```

### Direct MCP JSON-RPC (Claude Desktop / Cursor / custom MCP clients)

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "routemcp": {
      "url": "https://api.routemcp.io/api/v1/mcp/<workspace_id>",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "<YOUR_API_KEY>",
        "x-session-id": "<SESSION_ID>"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Once connected, MCP clients can invoke any of the 58 tools by slug via the standard `tools/call` JSON-RPC method.
