gmail-mcp-multi CLAUDE.md

gmail-mcp-multi CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from dmorrill/gmail-mcp-multi. It costs 248 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A CLAUDE.md guide for a TypeScript MCP server that lets AI assistants use several Gmail accounts. Gmail is Google's email service, and MCP is a standard way for an AI assistant to call external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or testing Gmail search, reading, sending, labelling, and account-authentication features across personal and work mailboxes.
Why use it?
It documents the account model, Google sign-in process, local credential storage, available email operations, and development commands. This makes the multi-account design and current project status clear.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gmail-mcp-multi CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Gmail MCP Multi — Claude Development Guidelines

What This Is

MCP server that provides Gmail access across multiple accounts. Lets AI assistants search, read, send, and manage email across personal and work accounts with a single tool.

Tech Stack

  • Runtime: Node.js, TypeScript
  • Protocol: MCP (Model Context Protocol) via @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
  • Auth: Google OAuth 2.0 (browser-based flow)
  • Storage: Local JSON file for credentials

Architecture Principles

  • Each account has a friendly alias (e.g., "personal", "work")
  • OAuth tokens stored locally, auto-refreshed
  • Tools are MCP-standard: list_accounts, authenticate, search_emails, read_email, send_email, modify_email, list_labels
  • All tools take an account parameter to specify which mailbox

Current State

  • PR #7 has the full initial implementation ready to merge
  • Closes issues #1-#5
  • Needs testing with real Gmail accounts before merge

Development

npm install
npm run build
npm run dev  # for watch mode

Testing

npm test
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
