Then, find your OAuth client and click to edit its settings.
Finally, add the URL you copied to the list of Redirect URI’s. Remember to click on the Save button before you continue.
Connecting ChatterKB to Google
Now all we need to do is connect.
Visit the settings for your ChatterKB knowledge base and click on the MCP item on the left hand side. Then locate the Google MCP server in the list of added MCP servers. It should currently be not connected
Next, choose the account that you had given your app access to.
Now, you’ll see a warning that Google hasn’t verified the app. It doesn’t need to because this is your app. You control it and can turn it off whenever you want. Click continue.
Then, select all of the data you want to let ChatterKB access.
Now, Google will send you back to the MCP settings tab where you should see that the MCP server is now connected
Finally, try it out for yourself. Open a chat and ask it to do something like “List all of my files on Google Drive”
