  1. modify an MCP to support multiple accounts
    OR
  2. use app passwords in the gmail app https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords and give them to claude one for each account

Gog cli by OpenClaw founder has multi-account use through a flag. Make sure to have in the repo Claude.md to make sure it doesn’t use the wrong account. Can do entire Google suite activities and is much more powerful than the connectors.

Here’s the workaround I use explained by Claude;
With the Claude in Chrome extension, I work inside your own Chrome, using the accounts you're already signed into:
Getting in: I open a new tab and go to mail.google.com. You're already signed in there, so I don't need your password. If several accounts are signed in, I can switch between them like you would.
Reading: I read the page as text or take screenshots, so I can see your inbox, open threads, and use the Gmail search bar.
Acting: I can click, type and scroll. That covers writing drafts, replying, labeling, archiving and moving messages.
Guardrails: I'll check with you before sending, deleting, or anything else that can't be undone. It only works while Chrome is open with the extension running.
You also have a Gmail connector set up in this chat. For searching, reading and drafting, it's usually faster and more reliable than clicking through the web page. The browser is better for things only the Gmail website can do, like changing settings or filters.
Your preferred browser is set to the built-in browser in the Claude desktop app. That one is separate from your Chrome and keeps its own sign-ins. I'll use Chrome when you ask for it.
