FAQ from Gmail MCP - Instalación Automática y Segura

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an integration protocol developed by Anthropic that allows language models (like Claude or ChatGPT) to communicate with external tools (APIs, databases, web services) in a structured, real‑time manner.

What are the prerequisites to install this server?

You need Python 3.11 or newer, git, a Google Cloud Console project with the Gmail API enabled, and an active Gmail account.

How does the installer handle my Google credentials?

The installer automatically detects the client_secret_…json file you download to your Downloads folder, moves it to the correct location, and renames it appropriately. You do not need to place it manually.

Is my Gmail data safe with this server?

The installer never uploads or distributes your sensitive credentials. The README explicitly warns never to share your credential file and to revoke it if accidentally exposed.

Can I install this server without the automated script?

Yes. Manual steps are provided: clone the repository, use uv to create a virtual environment and install dependencies, place the credentials JSON in a credentials/ folder, and configure the MCP client with the appropriate uv command pointing to main.py.
