# Gmail
Lightweight Gmail integration with standalone OAuth authentication. No MCP server required.
> **⚠️ Requires Google Workspace account.** Personal Gmail accounts are not supported.
## When to Use
- You need to search, read, or send Gmail messages from the command line without an MCP server.
- You are automating inbox workflows for a Google Workspace account.
- You want a lightweight Gmail integration backed by standalone OAuth scripts.
## First-Time Setup
Authenticate with Google (opens browser):
```bash
python scripts/auth.py login
```
Check authentication status:
```bash
python scripts/auth.py status
```
Logout when needed:
```bash
python scripts/auth.py logout
```
## Commands
All operations via `scripts/gmail.py`. Auto-authenticates on first use if not logged in.
### Search Emails
```bash
# Search with Gmail query syntax
python scripts/gmail.py search "from:someone@example.com is:unread"
# Search recent emails (no query returns all)
python scripts/gmail.py search --limit 20
# Filter by label
python scripts/gmail.py search --label INBOX --limit 10
# Include spam and trash
python scripts/gmail.py search "subject:important" --include-spam-trash
```
### Read Email Content
```bash
# Get full message content
python scripts/gmail.py get MESSAGE_ID
# Get just metadata (headers)
python scripts/gmail.py get MESSAGE_ID --format metadata
# Get minimal response (IDs only)
python scripts/gmail.py get MESSAGE_ID --format minimal
```
### Send Emails
```bash
# Send a simple email
python scripts/gmail.py send --to "user@example.com" --subject "Hello" --body "Message body"
# Send with CC and BCC
python scripts/gmail.py send --to "user@example.com" --cc "cc@example.com" --bcc "bcc@example.com" \
--subject "Team Update" --body "Update message"
# Send from an alias (must be configured in Gmail settings)
python scripts/gmail.py send --to "user@example.com" --subject "Hello" --body "Message" \
--from "Mile9 Accounts <accounts@mile9.io>"
# Send HTML email
python scripts/gmail.py send --to "user@example.com" --subject "HTML Email" \
--body "<h1>Hello</h1><p>HTML content</p>" --html
```
### Draft Management
```bash
# Create a draft
python scripts/gmail.py create-draft --to "user@example.com" --subject "Draft Subject" \
--body "Draft content"
# Send an existing draft
python scripts/gmail.py send-draft DRAFT_ID
```
### Modify Messages (Labels)
```bash
# Mark as read (remove UNREAD label)
python scripts/gmail.py modify MESSAGE_ID --remove-label UNREAD
# Mark as unread
python scripts/gmail.py modify MESSAGE_ID --add-label UNREAD
# Archive (remove from INBOX)
python scripts/gmail.py modify MESSAGE_ID --remove-label INBOX
# Star a message
python scripts/gmail.py modify MESSAGE_ID --add-label STARRED
# Unstar a message
python scripts/gmail.py modify MESSAGE_ID --remove-label STARRED
# Mark as important
python scripts/gmail.py modify MESSAGE_ID --add-label IMPORTANT
# Multiple label changes at once
python scripts/gmail.py modify MESSAGE_ID --remove-label UNREAD --add-label STARRED
```
### List Labels
```bash
# List all Gmail labels (system and user-created)
python scripts/gmail.py list-labels
```
## Gmail Query Syntax
Gmail supports powerful search operators:
| Query | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `from:user@example.com` | Emails from a specific sender |
| `to:user@example.com` | Emails to a specific recipient |
| `subject:meeting` | Emails with "meeting" in subject |
| `is:unread` | Unread emails |
| `is:starred` | Starred emails |
| `is:important` | Important emails |
| `has:attachment` | Emails with attachments |
| `after:2024/01/01` | Emails after a date |
| `before:2024/12/31` | Emails before a date |
| `newer_than:7d` | Emails from last 7 days |
| `older_than:1m` | Emails older than 1 month |
| `label:work` | Emails with a specific label |
| `in:inbox` | Emails in inbox |
| `in:sent` | Sent emails |
| `in:trash` | Trashed emails |
Combine with AND (space), OR, or - (NOT):
```bash
python scripts/gmail.py search "from:boss@company.com is:unread newer_than:1d"
python scripts/gmail.py search "subject:urgent OR subject:important"
python scripts/gmail.py search "from:newsletter@example.com -is:starred"
```
## Common Label IDs
| Label | ID |
|-------|-----|
| Inbox | `INBOX` |
| Sent | `SENT` |
| Drafts | `DRAFT` |
| Spam | `SPAM` |
| Trash | `TRASH` |
| Starred | `STARRED` |
| Important | `IMPORTANT` |
| Unread | `UNREAD` |
## Token Management

- **macOS**: Keychain
- **Windows**: Windows Credential Locker
- **Linux**: Secret Service API (GNOME Keyring, KDE Wallet, etc.)
Service name: `gmail-skill-oauth`
Tokens automatically refresh when expired using Google's cloud function.
