MCP Implementation for Gmail Services

What the server does

To run this MCP server, you will need to set up a Google API Client for your organization, with each user running a script to retrieve their own OAuth refresh token.

  • Complete Gmail API coverage including messages, threads, labels, drafts, and settings
  • Support for sending, drafting, and managing emails
  • Label management with customizable colors and visibility settings
  • Thread operations for conversation management
  • Settings management including vacation responder, IMAP/POP, and language settings
  • History tracking for mailbox changes
