gmail-mcp privacy policy
Last updated November 13, 2026
gmail-mcp is a personal software tool written and used only by Maxwell Palmer. It connects his own Gmail account to AI tools running on his own computer. It is not offered to or used by anyone else.
What it accesses. With permission granted through Google sign-in, gmail-mcp reads, labels, archives, trashes, and drafts messages in Maxwell Palmer’s Gmail account. It cannot send email, and it does not access any other person’s account.
How the data is used. Email data is used only to carry out tasks Maxwell Palmer asks for, such as searching, summarizing, organizing, and drafting replies. To do this, message content is sent to the AI model he is using (Anthropic’s Claude).
Storage. gmail-mcp does not keep copies of email. The Google sign-in token is stored in the keychain on his computer. A local log records which actions ran and when, but not message contents.
Sharing. Email data is not sold, not used for advertising, and not shared with anyone other than the AI model described above.
Google user data. gmail-mcp’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Revoking access. Access can be removed at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
