Prerequisites

To get the most out of this guide, you’ll need to:

​
1. Create a Google Drive MCP Server

Use the following endpoint to create a new remote Google Drive MCP server instance:

​
Request

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.klavis.ai/mcp-server/instance/create \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "serverName": "Google Drive",
  "userId": "<YOUR_USER_ID>",
  "platformName": "<YOUR_PLATFORM_NAME>"
}'

​
Response

{
  "serverUrl": "https://gdrive-mcp-server.klavis.ai/sse?instance_id=<instance-id>",
  "instanceId": "<instance-id>"
}
serverUrl specifies the endpoint of the Google Drive MCP server, which you can connect and use this MCP Server to interact with Google Drive data and functionality.
instanceId is used for authentication and identification of your server instance.

​
2. Google Drive OAuth Flow

Google Picker API

Klavis use Google Picker API to allow the user to create Drive files, and select and modify any file from their Drive that they want to share with your application , including files not created with the application. This gives users more control and confidence that your application’s access to their files is limited and secure.

Or if you want to set up your own branding - White Labeling

After you have set up the white labeling for Google Drive, you can then do the following:

const authUrl = `https://api.klavis.ai/oauth/gdrive/authorize?instance_id=${instanceId}&client_id=${clientId}`;
window.location.href = authUrl;
