Gmail MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Gmail integration in Claude Desktop with auto authentication support. This server enables AI assistants to manage Gmail

The short version

This fork is lean and pragmatic. It's a local stdio MCP server - you run it on your own machine, and your LLM client already has shell + filesystem access. So the threat model is "don't leak credentials to third parties, don't break the Gmail surface" - not "defend a hosted multi-tenant service". I keep dependencies minimal. I use this daily in my own Claude Code workflow - if I wouldn't run it or maintain it myself, it doesn't go in.
