This guide shows you how to register your own app with Google to obtain your OAuth credentials (client ID & secret). These are required to let your users grant your app access to their Stitch projects via the Stitch MCP API.
You will need to pass a security review to go live with your integration.Follow our guide to get approved as fast as possible.

​
Create your OAuth App

1

Create a Google Cloud account

If you don’t already have one, sign up for a Google Cloud account.
2

Create a new project

  1. Go to the Google Cloud Console.
  2. Click on the project dropdown at the top left of the page.
  3. Click New Project.
  4. Enter a Project Name for your project.
  5. Under Location, select the appropriate organization or folder where this project should belong.
    If you’re not part of an organization, it will default to No organization
  6. Click Create and wait for the project to be created.
  7. Select it from the project dropdown.
3

Enable the Stitch API

  1. Go to the API Library in the Google Cloud Console.
  2. Search for Stitch API and select it, then click Enable.
4

Configure the OAuth consent screen

  1. Go to APIs & Services > OAuth consent screen in the Google Cloud Console.
  2. Click Get started.
  3. Fill in the App Information form.
  • App Name: The name of the app asking for consent.
  • User support email: For users to contact you with questions about their consent.
  1. Click Next. Select the appropriate Audience:
    • External: For applications available to any Google user
    • Internal: For applications restricted to users within your Google Workspace organization
  2. Click Next. Fill in the Contact Information; these are the email addresses that Google will use to notify you about any changes to your project.
  3. Click Next, then check the I agree to the Google API Services: User Data Policy checkbox, and click Continue.
  4. Add the scopes your application needs. Under Data Access, click Add or Remove Scopes and add https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform.
  5. Under Audience, click Add users if you selected External user type (required for testing before verification).
In “Testing” mode with an external user type, refresh tokens expire in 7 days unless only basic scopes are used (userinfo.email, userinfo.profile, openid, or their OpenID Connect equivalents). You can remove this 7-day limit by switching from Testing to Production in the last step below.
5

Create OAuth 2.0 credentials

  1. Go to APIs & Services > Credentials in the Google Cloud Console.
  2. Click Create Credentials and select OAuth client ID.
  3. Select Web application as the application type.
  4. Enter a name for your OAuth client.
  5. Under Authorized redirect URIs, add https://api.nango.dev/oauth/callback.
While setting up the OAuth credentials, the Authorized JavaScript origins should be your site URL (https://app.nango.dev if you’re testing from the Nango UI).
  1. Click Create.
  2. A dialog will appear with your client ID and client secret. Save these credentials securely as you’ll need them when configuring your integration in Nango.
Google allows up to 100 refresh tokens per account per OAuth client ID. New tokens overwrite the oldest without warning when the limit is reached.
6

Start building your integration

Follow the Quickstart to build your integration.
7

Verify your app

The cloud-platform scope is marked “sensitive” by Google. You can develop in test mode, but you need to pass a security review to go live.Follow our guide to prepare and pass as quickly as possible.
For applications using sensitive or restricted scopes, Google requires verification and a security assessment. This process can take several weeks to complete.
8

Publish your app (switch from Testing to Production)

To move your OAuth app from testing to production:
  1. Go to APIs & Services > OAuth consent screen > Audience.
  2. Click Publish App to switch your app from testing to production.

​
Connection Configuration

When creating a Stitch (MCP) connection, you must supply a Google Cloud Project ID as a developer-level connection configuration parameter.

​
Required parameters

ParameterDescription
project_idThe ID of the Google Cloud project that has the Stitch API enabled

​
Finding your Google Cloud project ID

Your project ID is distinct from your project name. To find it:
  1. Go to the Google Cloud Console.
  2. Click the project dropdown at the top left of the page.
  3. Your Project ID appears below the project name in the list (e.g. my-project-123456).
Alternatively, open the project dashboard and look under Project info > Project ID. It also appears as the project query parameter in any Google Cloud Console URL.
