Install Gmail in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y @artymclabin/gmail-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

Gmail MCP Server (Actively Maintained Fork)

Installation: npx @artymclabin/gmail-mcp auth - or just tell your Claude to install the MCP from this repo (https://github.com/ArtyMcLabin/Gmail-MCP-Server) and let it set up. Prefer manual steps? See Installation & Authentication.

Also on the official MCP Registry (io.github.ArtyMcLabin/Gmail-MCP-Server) and Smithery.

This is an actively maintained fork of GongRzhe/Gmail-MCP-Server.

The original repository has been unmaintained since August 2025 - 7+ months with zero maintainer activity and 72+ unmerged pull requests. I use this MCP server daily as part of my Claude Code workflow and depend on it working correctly, so I picked it up.

Pull requests are welcome. If you've been sitting on fixes or features with nowhere to submit them, this is the place.

Philosophy

This fork is lean and pragmatic. It's a local stdio MCP server - you run it on your own machine, and your LLM client already has shell + filesystem access. So the threat model is "don't leak credentials to third parties, don't break the Gmail surface" - not "defend a hosted multi-tenant service". I keep dependencies minimal. I use this daily in my own Claude Code workflow - if I wouldn't run it or maintain it myself, it doesn't go in.

There's a downstream fork that took this in the maximalist direction. I'm not affiliated with its maintainer and I don't track its security or features - use it at your own risk: klodr/gmail-mcp. If that's the philosophy you want, go check it out. PRs welcome here as always.

What this fork adds

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
