Prerequisites

Rust 1.70+ (installed via rustup)
Google Cloud Project with Gmail API enabled
OAuth 2.0 credentials (Desktop app type)

Installation

Build from Source

git clone https://github.com/abhinav-copilot/gmail-mcp-server-rust.git
cd gmail-mcp-server-rust
cargo build --release

The binary will be at target/release/gmail-mcp-server.

Setup

1. Create Google Cloud OAuth Credentials

Go to Google Cloud Console
Create a new project or select existing
Enable the Gmail API
Go to Credentials → Create Credentials → OAuth 2.0 Client IDs
Select "Desktop app" as application type
Download the JSON file

2. Configure Credentials

Save the downloaded OAuth file as either:

~/.gmail-mcp/gcp-oauth.keys.json (recommended)
./gcp-oauth.keys.json (current directory)

Or set environment variable:

export GMAIL_OAUTH_PATH=/path/to/gcp-oauth.keys.json

3. Authenticate

# Run authentication flow
./gmail-mcp-server auth

This opens your browser for Google OAuth consent. After approval, credentials are stored in ~/.gmail-mcp/credentials.json.

Usage

Standalone Server

# Start the MCP server (communicates via stdio)
./gmail-mcp-server

With Claude Desktop / Cursor

Add to your MCP configuration (e.g., ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gmail": {
      "command": "/path/to/gmail-mcp-server",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}
