<issue_title>[mcp-stress-test] Google Drive MCP Server requires OAuth credentials</issue_title>
<issue_description># MCP Server Authentication Required: Google Drive

The nightly stress test detected that the Google Drive MCP server requires authentication to function properly.

Test Details

  • Test Session: stress-test-20260204-180602
  • Test Date: 2026-02-04T18:06:02Z

    "container": "mcp/gdrive",
    "env": {
      "GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS": "${GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS}"
    }
  }
}

Next Steps

  • Create Google Cloud project
  • Enable Google Drive API
  • Obtain OAuth credentials
  • Add credentials to repository secrets
  • Update stress test configuration
  • Verify server works in next nightly test

The JSON configuration uses GitHub Actions template syntax directly (${{ secrets.GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS }}), which is inconsistent with how other environment variables are referenced in this heredoc.

For consistency with the existing pattern (e.g., line 466 which uses \${GITHUB_MCP_SERVER_TOKEN}), this should use the escaped bash variable syntax \${GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS} instead. The secret is already made available as an environment variable on line 384, so it can be referenced using bash variable expansion.

This approach is more consistent with how the codebase handles environment variables in heredocs and makes the code more maintainable.
