   ```

3. Complete the OAuth flow in your browser
4. Credentials will be saved in `credentials/.gdrive-server-credentials.json`

## 🔧 Usage

### As a Command Line Tool

```bash
# Start the server
node dist/index.js
```

### Integration with Desktop App

Add this configuration to your app's server settings:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gdrive": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/gdrive-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS": "path/to/gdrive-mcp-server/credentials/gcp-oauth.keys.json",
        "MCP_GDRIVE_CREDENTIALS": "path/to/gdrive-mcp-server/credentials/.gdrive-server-credentials.json"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Replace `path/to/gdrive-mcp-server` with the actual path to your installation directory.

### Example Usage

1. **Search for files**:
   ```typescript
   // Search for documents containing "quarterly report"
   const result = await gdrive_search({ query: "quarterly report" });
   ```

2. **Read file contents**:
   ```typescript
   // Read a specific file using its ID
   const contents = await gdrive_read_file({ file_id: "your-file-id" });
   ```
