FAQ from Trusted GMail MCP Server

What is an AWS Nitro Enclave?

AWS Nitro Enclaves provide isolated compute environments that enhance security through hardware-based attestation.

Why is it necessary to run this server in a TEE?

Running the server in a TEE ensures that the code is executed in a secure and isolated environment, protecting against tampering and unauthorized access to sensitive data.

How can I verify the code attestation?

You can verify the code attestation by reproducing the environment in an AWS Nitro enclave yourself and using the provided verifier tool to compare the PCR2 hash and code attestation signature.

What are the security considerations when using this server?

Passing app-specific passwords in URLs is not a secure pattern. Consider using a dedicated app-specific password, accessing the server over a secure VPN, or running your own instance.

How do I run my own instance of this server?

You can run your own instance by following the provided instructions, which involve setting up an AWS EC2 instance with Nitro Enclaves enabled, cloning the repository, and running the setup and execution scripts.
