## Setup

## Security Notes

- Your email credentials are only used for the duration of each tool call
- Credentials are not stored or logged by the server
- All communication happens locally on your machine
- The server only exposes the MCP interface, not a public web interface

## Troubleshooting

1. **Connection Issues**: Make sure your Gmail app password is correct and 2FA is enabled
2. **MCP Client Issues**: Try restarting Claude Desktop after configuration changes
3. **Search Issues**: The tool searches in FROM, SUBJECT, and BODY fields for keywords

## Example Queries

Once configured with Claude Desktop, you can ask:

- "Search my emails for messages from Amazon in the last month"
- "Show me emails from my bank from last week" 
- "Analyze my LinkedIn email patterns over the last 60 days"
- "Find emails from Swiggy today"

Claude will automatically call the appropriate tools with your provided credentials.
