cd google-mcp

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Build the project
pnpm build
```

## Google Cloud Setup

Before using this server, you need to set up Google Cloud credentials:

### 1. Create a Google Cloud Project

1. Go to [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/)
2. Create a new project or select an existing one
3. Enable the following APIs:
   - Google Calendar API
   - Google Docs API
   - Google Sheets API
   - Google Slides API
   - Google Drive API
   - Gmail API
   - People API (Contacts)
   - YouTube Data API v3
   - Google Tasks API
   - Google Forms API
   - Google Chat API
   - Google Meet REST API

### 2. Create OAuth 2.0 Credentials

1. Navigate to **APIs & Services > Credentials**
2. Click **Create Credentials > OAuth client ID**
3. Select **Desktop app** as the application type
4. Download the JSON file

### 3. Place Credentials File

Save the downloaded JSON file as `credentials.json` at the appropriate location for your platform:

**Linux:**
```
~/.config/google-mcp/credentials.json
```
(or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/google-mcp/credentials.json` if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set)

**macOS:**
```
~/Library/Application Support/google-mcp/credentials.json
```

**Windows:**
```
%APPDATA%\google-mcp\credentials.json
```
(typically `C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\google-mcp\credentials.json`)

The file should look like:
```json
{
  "installed": {
    "client_id": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID.apps.googleusercontent.com",
    "project_id": "your-project-id",
    "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
    "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
    "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
    "client_secret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
    "redirect_uris": ["http://localhost:3000/oauth2callback"]
  }
}
```

## Usage with Cursor/Claude

Add to your MCP settings configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/google-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}
```

Or if running from the project directory:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["tsx", "/path/to/google-mcp/src/index.ts"]
    }
  }
}
```

## Authentication

On first use, call the `google_auth` tool to initiate OAuth authentication:

1. The server will provide a URL to authenticate
2. Open the URL in a browser and sign in with your Google account
3. Grant the requested permissions
4. Authentication will complete automatically

Tokens are stored locally and will be refreshed automatically:
- **Linux:** `~/.local/share/google-mcp/tokens.json` (or `$XDG_DATA_HOME/google-mcp/`)
- **macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/google-mcp/tokens.json`
- **Windows:** `%APPDATA%\google-mcp\tokens.json`
