Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
Category: Chat & email
You need to fill in: GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
You fill in yourself: GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gmail": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "gmail-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add gmail --env GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-value -- npx -y gmail-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gmail": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "gmail-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "gmail": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "gmail-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN secret required env
Google OAuth access token with Gmail scopes.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is Gmail safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2.4.0) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

gmail-mcp

MCP server for Gmail - read, send, archive, and manage emails.

Use Cases

Flight check-in: "Check me in for my flight tomorrow" → finds your confirmation email, extracts the booking reference, and completes check-in with browser use.

Expense submission: "Submit my Amazon purchases from last week as expenses" → finds receipts, extracts amounts/categories, and files them in your expense system.

Package tracking: "Where's my package from Acme?" → finds the shipping notification, extracts the tracking number, and fetches current delivery status.

Find that attachment: "What did we settle on for the budget? Michelle sent me something yesterday" → locates the email and opens the attached spreadsheet.

Vacation mode: "I'm on holiday Dec 20-Jan 2" → sets up Gmail auto-reply, blocks your calendar, and updates your Slack status in one go.

Meeting follow-up: After a call, your assistant reads the Gemini transcript, summarizes key decisions, and drafts a follow-up email with action items.

(These are just examples - any workflow that needs email search, reading, or sending can use this.)

Setup

1. Create Google OAuth credentials

Go to Google Cloud Console
Create a new project (or use existing)
Enable the Gmail API
Go to APIs & Services → OAuth consent screen, set up consent screen
Go to APIs & Services → Credentials → Create Credentials → OAuth client ID
Choose Web application
Add http://localhost:3000/callback to Authorized redirect URIs
Note your Client ID and Client Secret

2. Run the server

GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID='your-client-id' \

GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET='your-client-secret' \ MCP_TRANSPORT=http \ npm start

The server runs on http://localhost:3000 by default. Change with PORT=3001.

3. Add to your MCP client

With the server running, follow the instructions on install-mcp, which generates the right config for your MCP client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, VS Code, and more).

Architecture

This server acts as an OAuth proxy to Google:

graph LR

A[MCP client] <--> B[gmail-mcp] <--> C[Google OAuth/API]

Server advertises itself as an OAuth authorization server via /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
/register returns the Google OAuth client credentials
/authorize redirects to Google, encoding the client's callback URL in state
/callback receives the code from Google and forwards to the client's callback
/token proxies token requests to Google, injecting client credentials
/mcp handles MCP requests, using the bearer token to call Gmail API

The server holds no tokens or state - it just proxies OAuth to Google.
