Gmail Notes Server

🚀 Gmail-MCP MCP Server

A Gmail MCP server built with TypeScript and the Gmail API, demonstrating core MCP concepts, including:

• Representing text note resources using note:// URIs and metadata.
• Tools for creating new notes.
• Prompts for generating note summaries.

✨ Features

Resources

• List and access notes using note:// URIs.
• Each note includes a title, content, and metadata.
• Provide simple content access using the plain text MIME type.

Tools

• create_note - Create a new text note.
  • Title and content are required parameters.
  • Store the note in the server state.

Prompts

• summarize_notes - Generate a summary of all stored notes.
  • Include all note content as embedded resources.
  • Return a structured prompt for summarization by an LLM.

📦 Installation

Installation via Smithery

To automatically install the Gmail note server for use with Claude Desktop via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @mundume/gmail-mcp --client claude

Manual Installation

To use with Claude Desktop, add the server configuration:

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gmail-mcp": {
      "command": "/path/to/gmail-mcp/build/index.js"
    }
  }

Debugging

Debugging can be challenging since MCP servers communicate via standard input and output. We recommend using MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in the browser.
