Summary

This PR fixes a critical bug where the MCP server was unable to switch between multiple Google account credentials within the same session. The server would bind to the first authenticated user and ignore the user_google_email parameter on subsequent requests.

Problem

The get_credentials() function in auth/google_auth.py has two credential lookup paths:

  1. OAuth21SessionStore.get_credentials_by_mcp_session() (lines 542-590)
  2. load_credentials_from_session() (lines 623+)

Both paths were returning cached credentials based solely on session_id, without validating that the cached credentials matched the requested user_google_email parameter. This caused all tool calls within a session to use the first authenticated user's credentials, even when a different user_google_email was specified.

Solution

Added user validation to both credential lookup paths:

Changes to auth/google_auth.py

Path 1: OAuth21SessionStore lookup (lines 546-590)

  • After retrieving credentials by MCP session, validate the cached user matches the requested user
  • If mismatch detected, set credentials = None to force reload from credential store
  • Log warning when bypassing cache due to user mismatch

Path 2: Session cache lookup (lines 623-648)

  • After loading credentials from session, validate the cached user matches the requested user
  • If mismatch detected, set credentials = None to force reload from credential store
  • Log warning when bypassing cache due to user mismatch

Both validations use OAuth21SessionStore.get_user_by_mcp_session() to determine the cached user email and compare it with the requested user_google_email parameter.

Testing

Verified the fix works correctly:

Create operations - Can create tasks on different accounts:

List operations - Returns correct data for each account:

Account switching - Can alternate between accounts seamlessly without re-authentication

Impact

This fix enables:

  • Multi-user support within the same Claude Code session
  • Correct credential selection based on user_google_email parameter
  • No breaking changes to existing functionality
  • Maintains existing security model (session-to-user binding)

Files Changed

  • auth/google_auth.py - Modified get_credentials() function to validate cached credentials match requested user

Commits

  • 1975ffd - Initial fix for session cache credential validation
  • 6b006c9 - Complete fix for OAuth21SessionStore credential validation

Adds dual-mode attachment support to send_gmail_message function:
- Local file path attachments using multipart MIME
- Public URL attachments embedded as HTML links

Features:
- Auto-detects MIME types for file attachments
- Base64 encoding for binary files
- Graceful error handling (logs warnings, continues on failure)
- Backward compatible (all new parameters optional)
- Comprehensive documentation with usage examples

Implementation:
- New helper: _prepare_gmail_message_with_file_attachments()
- New helper: _prepare_gmail_message_with_url_attachments()
- Enhanced: _prepare_gmail_message() routing logic
- Updated: send_gmail_message() signature and docstring
- Added imports: os, mimetypes, MIMEMultipart, MIMEBase, encoders

Tests: All 3 automated tests passed
- Local file attachments (multipart MIME)
- Public URL attachments (HTML links)
- Error handling (missing files)

~250 lines added with comprehensive docstrings and examples.

Problem:
The MCP server was binding each FastMCP session to a single user email
via the session cache. When credentials were loaded by session_id, it
would return the cached credentials regardless of the requested
user_google_email parameter, causing all requests in the same session
to use the first authenticated user's credentials.

Solution:
Modified get_credentials() in auth/google_auth.py to validate that
cached credentials match the requested user. If the cached user differs
from the requested user_google_email, the session cache is bypassed and
credentials are loaded from the credential store instead.

Changes:
- Added validation after loading credentials from session cache
- Uses OAuth21SessionStore.get_user_by_mcp_session() to get cached user
- Compares cached user with requested user_google_email
- Sets credentials to None (forces reload) if mismatch detected
- Logs warning when bypassing cache for user mismatch
- Preserves security model while enabling multi-user support

Testing:
This fix enables Claude Code to switch between multiple Google accounts
(e.g., [email protected] and [email protected]) within the same
session by respecting the user_google_email parameter in tool calls.

Extended the multi-user credential fix to also validate the
OAuth21SessionStore lookup path. The previous fix only handled
load_credentials_from_session() but missed the earlier
get_credentials_by_mcp_session() check.

Problem:
get_credentials() has two credential lookup paths:
1. OAuth21SessionStore.get_credentials_by_mcp_session() (lines 542-590)
2. load_credentials_from_session() (lines 623+)

The first fix only validated path taylorwilsdon#2, so path taylorwilsdon#1 was still returning
cached credentials for the wrong user, causing list operations to use
incorrect credentials even though create operations worked.

Solution:
Added the same user validation logic to the OAuth21SessionStore lookup:
- After getting credentials by mcp_session, validate cached user matches
- If mismatch detected, set credentials = None to force reload
- Properly indented refresh logic inside the validation block

This ensures BOTH credential lookup paths respect user_google_email.

OAuth2.1 mode is meant to behave this way specifically, where the client handles the credential flow and manages storage / caching / refresh (and potentially session switching) - binding a single session to a valid authorization token so that you can operate in a multi-user environment without risking inadvertent access. If you want to use multiple accounts in a trusted environment, you just don't set that env var and you can have multiple accounts authenticated and switch between them as desired.
