v1.0.0 — Gmail Multi-Account MCP for Claude Desktop

A local MCP server that lets Claude Desktop search, read, draft, send, and
organize email — and manage mailbox settings — across as many Gmail accounts as
you connect. Everything runs on your own machine; nothing is hosted.

Download & run (Windows)

1. Download gmail-mcp.exe below — one file (~22 MB) that bundles Python and
   every dependency. No Python, no install.
2. Double-click it → the setup wizard opens in your browser.
3. Follow the wizard: create a free Google Cloud OAuth client, connect your
   account(s), and click Apply to config.
4. Restart Claude Desktop. Done.

First launch shows Windows SmartScreen ("unknown publisher") because the exe is
unsigned → More info → Run anyway (it's your own app).

What Claude can do once connected

• Read/search across all your accounts — including whole threads and attachments
• Draft / reply / forward — sending is always a two-step confirm, never automatic
• Organize: labels, archive, read/unread, star, trash (recoverable)
• Settings: filters, vacation responder, IMAP/POP, forwarding, send-as, delegation
• Connect a new Gmail on request (gmail_add_account)

Good to know

• Windows build. macOS/Linux need a build made on that OS (same single-file result).
• Unsigned → the SmartScreen prompt on first run.
• ~7-day reauthorization is Google's policy for unverified apps — one click in the wizard when it happens.
• No permanent delete — trash is recoverable; hard-delete is deliberately excluded, so nothing this does is irreversible.
• Your OAuth credentials.json and account tokens live only on your machine
  (%APPDATA%\GmailMCP) — they are never bundled into the exe.
