Cannot find what you mentioned after clicking "APIs & Services" -> "OAuth consent screen"

[Yvette-0508]

Configure OAuth Consent Screen: This screen tells users (usually just you) what your app wants permission for.
On the left menu, click "APIs & Services" -> "OAuth consent screen".
Choose User Type: Select "External" and click "CREATE".
Fill in App Information:
App name: Give it a name users will see (e.g., "Claude Docs MCP Access").
User support email: Select your email address.
Developer contact information: Enter your email address.
Click "SAVE AND CONTINUE".
Scopes: Click "ADD OR REMOVE SCOPES". Search for and add the following scopes:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/documents (Allows reading/writing docs)
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file (Allows access to specific files opened/created by the app)
Click "UPDATE".
Click "SAVE AND CONTINUE".
Test Users: Click "ADD USERS". Enter the same Google email address you are logged in with. Click "ADD". This allows you to use the app while it's in "testing" mode.
Click "SAVE AND CONTINUE". Review the summary and click "BACK TO DASHBOARD".

You have to go into the google cloud project dashboard. If you want to run your own instance of the server, you need to create your own Google Cloud project and follow these steps for your own Google account.

• When you reach the “Test Users” section, add your own Google account (the one you’ll use to log in) as a test user.
• Each person who wants to run their own server should repeat this process in their own Google Cloud project and add themselves as a test user.
• Google restricts unverified apps to “testing” mode, so only test users can authenticate. If you’re running your own server, you are the “developer” for your instance, so you need to add yourself as a test user in your own project.

@a-bonus I think what @Yvette-0508 meant is that the Google Cloud Console has updated its UI flow so she could no longer find the buttons in the order you mentioned in your instructions. I also ran into the same problem and ended up writing a step-by-step guide showing how people can set up your Google Docs MCP server from scratch which corresponds to the latest Google Cloud Console UI flow. If you are interested in a collab we can work together on some cross-promotion too!

@kleego oh shoot got it!! That's an amazing write up you made! Would love to just merge that into the readme and docs if that's okay with you!

@a-bonus Hey glad you found the guide helpful! Let's discuss how we can collab on this! What about you merge the entire guide to your readme, and put a credit in front saying that the instructions are provided by MCP Now plus put a one-liner description of what MCP Now does?

MCP Now is a free desktop app and we are working on making it open source in about 3 months. What the app does is allowing users to quickly discover, install, switch, debug, and share MCP servers like the Google Docs MCP you made!

What you gain from this are 2 things:

1. Exposures from our end because the guide teaches how to set up Google Docs MCP using your MCP server and we do publish this guide in multiple channels which increase your server's visibility!
2. Detailed and accurate step-by-step doc tested and crafted personally by me, which increases your MCP server's user base by allowing people to set it up successfully and easily (I am an ex-Apple Technical Writer so you can trust my step-by-step guide quality)

Does this sound like a win-win for you?

I had to move the app from "production" state to "back to testing" to get the "add users" option, without it you get:

"The out-of-band (OOB) flow"
