What Gmail OAuth scopes are required?

The server uses https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify which allows reading, sending, and modifying emails.

A Google Cloud project with the Gmail API enabled, a Desktop App OAuth client, and uv for running the server. No Python dependencies beyond those bundled with the server are mentioned.

Where are credentials and tokens stored?

Credentials are stored in the file path given to --creds-file-path. Access and refresh tokens are stored in the file path given to --token-path. Both are local file paths on the user’s machine.

How is the server invoked?

The server is run via uv run gmail --creds-file-path <path> --token-path <path>. It communicates over stdio (standard MCP transport).
