MCP Email Reader Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Retrieve and search a user's Gmail messages on-demand to provide up-to-date email context in replies.

• 2

  Surface relevant email content (subject lines, message bodies, and attachments) when user prompts reference recent communications.

• 3

  Integrate private email data into a Model Context Protocol workflow with a local MCP client such as Claude Desktop.

Description

This project implements an MCP server that retrieves Gmail data and exposes it to an MCP client (Claude Desktop) so that model responses can be augmented with relevant email content. It uses UV to run the Python environment and connects to Gmail via IMAP using an app password. The README documents local Claude Desktop configuration, dependency installation, and the Gmail app-password setup required for secure access. The server is useful for dynamic, query-driven retrieval of email content when a user prompt references messages or communications.
