// required environment variables

This server reads these from process.env. You'll be asked to provide them before it can run.

configGDRIVE_CREDENTIALS_PATH— "": "/path/to/.gdrive-server-credentials.json"

configGDRIVE_DOWNLOAD_DIR— System temp dir + /gdrive-downloads Directory where the download and export_pdf tools save files

configGDRIVE_ENABLE_RESOURCES— false Set to true to enable MCP resource handlers (gdrive:/// URIs). Disabled by default because some MCP clients call resources/list on startup, which triggers drive.files.list() and can hang.

configGDRIVE_ENABLE_SHEETS— false Set to true to enable the sheets_read tool and request the spreadsheets.readonly OAuth scope. Requires enabling the Google Sheets API in your GCP project and re-running auth.

configGDRIVE_ENABLE_UPLOAD— false Set to true to enable the upload tool. Upgrades the OAuth scope from drive.readonly to drive (full read/write). Requires re-running auth.

configGDRIVE_OAUTH_PATH— /path/to/your/gcp-oauth.keys.json node dist/index.js auth
