Enables AI assistants to interact with Gmail through natural language for comprehensive email management.
Enables AI assistants to interact with Gmail through natural language for comprehensive email management. Exposed over MCP by the gmail mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
A powerful and feature-rich Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Gmail integration, written in Python. This server enables AI assistants like Claude to interact with Gmail through natural language, providing comprehensive email management capabilities.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverInstallation — The Installation tool exposed by this serverConfiguration — Store your credentials securely and specify their location when running the server:Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @modelcontextprotocol/inspector on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Among the team communication options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Gmail's toolset — Prerequisites, Installation, Configuration — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by theposch; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

Enables Discord bot integration with Model Context Protocol (MCP) compatible applications like Claude Desktop.
Exposes REST APIs defined by OpenAPI specifications as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, facilitating seamless integration into MCP-based workflows.
