What is the MCP Gmail Sender MCP server?

MCP Gmail Sender becomes available to MCP clients through the mcp gmail sender mcp server. This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for sending emails via a single tool, send_email.

What MCP Gmail Sender does

This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for sending emails via a single tool, send_email.

Key capabilities

  • Exposes a single MCP tool: send_email (send an email via SMTP)
  • Uses nodemailer for SMTP email delivery

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call this tool directly:

  • Arguments — The Arguments tool exposed by this server

Installing the mcp gmail sender mcp server

Setup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.

Configuration

The server reads 5 environment variables: SMTP_HOST, SMTP_PORT, SMTP_SECURE, SMTP_USER, SMTP_PASS. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Where it fits

Communication servers earn their keep on volume — summarising channels and threads that would otherwise cost you an hour of scrollback. MCP Gmail Sender sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Arguments — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other communication servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • Maintained by fahadBSTech.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the mcp gmail sender mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.
