Frequently asked questions

1

What are the prerequisites?

Python 3.8+, a Google Cloud project with the Gmail API enabled, and OAuth 2.0 credentials (Desktop app type).

2

What Google API scope is used?

The `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail/modify` scope is required.

3

How do I configure and run the server?

Store the downloaded credentials JSON in a secure location (e.g., `~/.gmail-mcp/credentials.json`), then specify the credentials and token paths in the Claude Desktop MCP configuration.

4

What security considerations apply?

Never commit credentials or token files to version control. Store credentials with appropriate permissions and review your Google Cloud Console regularly for unusual activity.

5

How is authentication handled?

OAuth 2.0 authentication is used with automatic token refresh, so the server handles token lifecycle management transparently.
