Setup
- Create a Google Cloud project (or reuse one) and enable the
Google Sheets API, Google Docs API and Google Drive API
(the token scopes cover all three, so you can reuse it with the sibling
google-docs-mcpserver if you want). - Create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID of type "Desktop app" and download it as
client_secret.json. - If the app is in "Testing" mode, add your Google account as a test user.
- Install dependencies:
python3 -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt - Run the OAuth flow once:
This opens a browser — log in and grant access.CLIENT_SECRET_PATH=~/.config/google-sheets-mcp/client_secret.json \ python3 setup_auth.py
