gmail-mcp is built for one person, who is also its developer. It is not offered to anyone else.

What it reads

The messages, labels and filters of its owner's Gmail account, and nothing from any other account.

What it does with it

It finds mail that needs attention and keeps the mailbox in order: labels, archiving, filters and drafts, as the owner directs.

Where the data goes

Mail is handled on the owner's own computer and server. To be read and summarised, message text is sent to Claude, Anthropic's AI model, under the owner's own account. It goes to no one else. It is never sold, never shared and never used for advertising.

What it keeps

No copy of the mailbox. Only a short record of what it flagged and of the changes the owner approved, so they can be undone.

Google's rules

The use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
