# gmail-mcp

MCP server for Gmail, built on [gmail-sdk](https://github.com/ldraney/gmail-sdk). Gives Claude Code (or any MCP client) full access to read, send, triage, draft, and manage email across multiple Gmail accounts through a single server instance.

## Install

```bash
pip install gmail-mcp-ldraney
```

## Run

```bash
gmail-mcp-ldraney
# or
python -m gmail_mcp
```

## Claude Code config

Add to your `.mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gmail": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["gmail-mcp-ldraney"],
      "env": {
        "SECRETS_DIR": "~/secrets/google-oauth"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Or register via CLI:

```bash
claude mcp add gmail -- uvx gmail-mcp-ldraney
```

## Prerequisites

Google OAuth credentials must be set up at `~/secrets/google-oauth/` (or the path in `SECRETS_DIR`):

- `credentials.json` -- OAuth client credentials (Desktop type)
- `gmail-{alias}.json` -- per-account token files (created automatically on first auth)

On first use the server opens your browser for Google sign-in. After that, tokens refresh automatically.

See the [Gmail API Setup Guide](docs/gmail-api-setup.md) for full details including scopes, multi-account configuration, and security.

## Multi-account support

A single server instance handles multiple Gmail accounts. Every tool accepts an optional `account` parameter (alias or full email). If only one account is configured, it is selected automatically.

Token files are stored per-account: `gmail-draneylucas.json`, `gmail-lucastoddraney.json`, etc.
