To install Gmail AutoAuth for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @gongrzhe/server-gmail-autoauth-mcp --client claude

1. Create a Google Cloud Project and obtain credentials:

   a. Create a Google Cloud Project:

   • Go to Google Cloud Console
   • Create a new project or select an existing one
   • Enable the Gmail API for your project

   b. Create OAuth 2.0 Credentials:

   • Go to "APIs & Services" > "Credentials"
   • Click "Create Credentials" > "OAuth client ID"
   • Choose either "Desktop app" or "Web application" as application type
   • Give it a name and click "Create"
   • For Web application, add http://localhost:3000/oauth2callback to the authorized redirect URIs
   • Download the JSON file of your client's OAuth keys
   • Rename the key file to gcp-oauth.keys.json

2. Run Authentication:

   You can authenticate in two ways:

   a. Global Authentication (Recommended):

   # First time: Place gcp-oauth.keys.json in your home directory's .gmail-mcp folder
   mkdir -p ~/.gmail-mcp
   mv gcp-oauth.keys.json ~/.gmail-mcp/
   
   # Run authentication from anywhere
   npx @gongrzhe/server-gmail-autoauth-mcp auth

   b. Local Authentication:

   # Place gcp-oauth.keys.json in your current directory
   # The file will be automatically copied to global config
   npx @gongrzhe/server-gmail-autoauth-mcp auth

   The authentication process will:

   • Look for gcp-oauth.keys.json in the current directory or ~/.gmail-mcp/
   • If found in current directory, copy it to ~/.gmail-mcp/
   • Open your default browser for Google authentication
   • Save credentials as ~/.gmail-mcp/credentials.json

   Note:

   • After successful authentication, credentials are stored globally in ~/.gmail-mcp/ and can be used from any directory
   • Both Desktop app and Web application credentials are supported
   • For Web application credentials, make sure to add http://localhost:3000/oauth2callback to your authorized redirect URIs

3. Configure in Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gmail": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@gongrzhe/server-gmail-autoauth-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

If you prefer using Docker:

1. Authentication:

docker run -i --rm \
  --mount type=bind,source=/path/to/gcp-oauth.keys.json,target=/gcp-oauth.keys.json \
  -v mcp-gmail:/gmail-server \
  -e GMAIL_OAUTH_PATH=/gcp-oauth.keys.json \
  -e "GMAIL_CREDENTIALS_PATH=/gmail-server/credentials.json" \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  mcp/gmail auth

1. Usage:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gmail": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "-v",
        "mcp-gmail:/gmail-server",
        "-e",
        "GMAIL_CREDENTIALS_PATH=/gmail-server/credentials.json",
        "mcp/gmail"
      ]
    }
  }
}

For cloud server environments (like n8n), you can specify a custom callback URL during authentication:

npx @gongrzhe/server-gmail-autoauth-mcp auth https://gmail.gongrzhe.com/oauth2callback

1. Configure Reverse Proxy:

   • Set up your n8n container to expose a port for authentication
   • Configure a reverse proxy to forward traffic from your domain (e.g., gmail.gongrzhe.com) to this port

2. DNS Configuration:

   • Add an A record in your DNS settings to resolve your domain to your cloud server's IP address

3. Google Cloud Platform Setup:

   • In your Google Cloud Console, add your custom domain callback URL (e.g., https://gmail.gongrzhe.com/oauth2callback) to the authorized redirect URIs list

4. Run Authentication:

   npx @gongrzhe/server-gmail-autoauth-mcp auth https://gmail.gongrzhe.com/oauth2callback

5. Configure in your application:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "gmail": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": [
           "@gongrzhe/server-gmail-autoauth-mcp"
         ]
       }
     }
   }

This approach allows authentication flows to work properly in environments where localhost isn't accessible, such as containerized applications or cloud servers.

The server provides the following tools that can be used through Claude Desktop:

    "senderEmail": "newsletter@company.com",
    "labelIds": ["Label_Newsletter"],

    "addLabelIds": ["Label_LargeFiles"]
  }
}

The search_emails tool supports Gmail's powerful search operators:

You can combine multiple operators: from:john@example.com after:2024/01/01 has:attachment

The server provides comprehensive attachment functionality:

• Sending Attachments: Include file paths in the attachments array when sending or drafting emails
• Attachment Detection: Automatically detects MIME types and file sizes
• Download Capability: Download any email attachment to your local filesystem
• Enhanced Display: View detailed attachment information including filenames, types, sizes, and download IDs
• Multiple Formats: Support for all common file types (documents, images, archives, etc.)
• RFC822 Compliance: Uses Nodemailer for proper MIME message formatting

Supported File Types: All standard file types including PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, images (PNG, JPG, GIF), archives (ZIP, RAR), and more.

The server intelligently extracts email content from complex MIME structures:

• Prioritizes plain text content when available
• Falls back to HTML content if plain text is not available
• Handles multi-part MIME messages with nested parts
• Processes attachments information (filename, type, size, download ID)
• Preserves original email headers (From, To, Subject, Date)

The server fully supports non-ASCII characters in email subjects and content, including:

• Turkish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other non-Latin alphabets
• Special characters and symbols
• Proper encoding ensures correct display in email clients

The server provides a complete set of tools for managing Gmail labels:

• Create Labels: Create new labels with customizable visibility settings
• Update Labels: Rename labels or change their visibility settings
• Delete Labels: Remove user-created labels (system labels are protected)
• Find or Create: Get a label by name or automatically create it if not found
• List All Labels: View all system and user labels with detailed information
• Label Visibility Options: Control how labels appear in message and label lists

Label visibility settings include:

• messageListVisibility: Controls whether the label appears in the message list (show or hide)
• labelListVisibility: Controls how the label appears in the label list (labelShow, labelShowIfUnread, or labelHide)

These label management features enable sophisticated organization of emails directly through Claude, without needing to switch to the Gmail interface.

The server includes efficient batch processing capabilities:

• Process up to 50 emails at once (configurable batch size)
• Automatic chunking of large email sets to avoid API limits
• Detailed success/failure reporting for each operation
• Graceful error handling with individual retries
• Perfect for bulk inbox management and organization tasks

• OAuth credentials are stored securely in your local environment (~/.gmail-mcp/)
• The server uses offline access to maintain persistent authentication
• Never share or commit your credentials to version control
• Regularly review and revoke unused access in your Google Account settings
• Credentials are stored globally but are only accessible by the current user
• Attachment files are processed locally and never stored permanently by the server

1. OAuth Keys Not Found

   • Make sure gcp-oauth.keys.json is in either your current directory or ~/.gmail-mcp/
   • Check file permissions

2. Invalid Credentials Format

   • Ensure your OAuth keys file contains either web or installed credentials
   • For web applications, verify the redirect URI is correctly configured

3. Port Already in Use

   • If port 3000 is already in use, please free it up before running authentication
   • You can find and stop the process using that port

4. Batch Operation Failures

   • If batch operations fail, they automatically retry individual items
   • Check the detailed error messages for specific failures
   • Consider reducing the batch size if you encounter rate limiting

5. Attachment Issues

   • File Not Found: Ensure attachment file paths are correct and accessible
   • Permission Errors: Check that the server has read access to attachment files
   • Size Limits: Gmail has a 25MB attachment size limit per email
   • Download Failures: Verify you have write permissions to the download directory

The evals package loads an mcp client that then runs the index.ts file, so there is no need to rebuild between tests. You can load environment variables by prefixing the npx command. Full documentation can be found here.
