Step 5 · Paste the credentials

Take the Client ID and Client Secret from Step 4 and paste them into Kura-chan’s integrations panel. About 1 minute.

Steps

1. Open the Kura-chan dashboard

   In your browser, go to http://localhost:8080 (make sure the launcher / picoclaw process is running).

2. Open the “External Service Integrations” tab

   Left nav or top tab → External Service Integrations (or however the dashboard labels integrations in your locale).

3. Find the Google card

   You should see a card titled “Google”. Without credentials, it shows the message “BYO credentials missing — add client_id / client_secret to connect” and an inline form.

   

4. Paste the Client ID and Client Secret

   • Client ID: the …apps.googleusercontent.com string from Step 4
   • Client Secret: the GOCSPX-… string from Step 4

   Make sure no leading or trailing whitespace sneaks in (a common copy-paste mistake). The Client Secret field is masked since it’s a password.

   

5. Click “Save credentials”

   The button changes to “Saving…”, and after a few seconds the form collapses.

6. Confirm “BYO credentials configured”

   The form is replaced by a “BYO credentials configured” line. Below it, the card now shows the Tools section (Gmail / Calendar / Drive rows) and a Connect button.

   

Replacing credentials later

Rotated the Client Secret? Switching to a different project’s client? Click Update credentials at the top-right of the card. The form reappears for re-entry.

Security note

The Client ID and Client Secret are stored only on the device Kura-chan runs on, encrypted using the OS keychain. Nothing is sent to Anthropic or anyone else, including us. That’s the point of BYO credentials.

Common gotchas

"Failed to save credentials" error

Typically the dashboard can’t reach the launcher / picoclaw process.

• Try http://localhost:8080/api/integrations/list in your browser. If you don’t get back JSON, Kura-chan isn’t running.
• Restart Kura-chan and reload the dashboard.

Pasted-in whitespace

Copying through a terminal or chat app sometimes appends a newline. If “Save” succeeds but the integration won’t connect later, suspect this — re-paste both fields cleanly.
