The Gmail MCP is a **managed MCP hosted by Webrix** with Google's security standards: - **OAuth Authentication**: Connect securely through Google's official OAuth flow - **Granular Scopes**: Control access levels (read-only, send, compose, full access) - **No Password Storage**: Uses secure token-based authentication - **Google Security**: Benefits from Google's enterprise-grade security infrastructure **Best practices**: Grant only the minimum scopes needed (e.g., gmail.readonly if you only need to read), regularly review connected apps in your Google Account settings, and be cautious with send permissions.

Getting started with the Gmail MCP is simple: 1. **Connect your account**: Authenticate via Google's OAuth flow 2. **Grant permissions**: Select scopes based on your needs (read, send, compose) 3. **Start emailing**: Ask your AI assistant to search, read, or send emails **Example prompts**: - "List my unread emails from last week" - "Read the email with ID abc123" - "Send an email to [email protected] with subject 'Meeting Tomorrow'" - "Create a draft email to the team about the project update" - "Search for emails from [email protected]"
