Deploy and Host Gmail MCP Server on Railway

The Gmail MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server is a powerful bridge that allows AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude to securely interact with your Gmail account. It enables AI-driven email drafting, searching, and inbox management directly within your chat interface, transforming your email productivity through natural language.

About Hosting Gmail MCP Server

Hosting the Gmail MCP Server on Railway transforms it from a local script into a permanent 24/7 cloud utility. By utilizing the Server-Sent Events (SSE) protocol, your server stays accessible to external AI platforms without requiring your computer to be online. Deployment involves setting up a secure OAuth 2.0 connection with Google Cloud to authorize access. Once live, the server provides a dedicated endpoint for ChatGPT Plus or the Claude Desktop App. Railway’s Nixpacks builder manages the environment automatically, ensuring your Node.js server runs with high reliability and zero manual maintenance.

Common Use Cases
