### Description (declared)

# Gmail MCP Server

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.workos/gmail-mcp-server -->

A production-ready [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server for Gmail operations. Connect any AI agent to Gmail — send emails, search your inbox, manage drafts, organize with labels, reply to threads, and more.

**This is an independent, generalized MCP server.** It is not tied to any specific project and can be connected to any AI agent that supports MCP (Claude Desktop, Cursor, WorkOS, or custom agents).

## Features

- 📨 **Send & Reply**: Compose emails, reply to threads, with CC support
- 📥 **Read Inbox**: Fetch emails from any label (INBOX, SENT, STARRED, etc.)
- 🔍 **Search**: Full Gmail query syntax (`from:`, `subject:`, `has:attachment`, etc.)
- 📝 **Drafts**: Create, list, and send drafts
- 🏷️ **Labels**: List, add, and remove labels on messages
- 🧵 **Threads**: View full conversation threads
- ✅ **Read/Unread**: Mark messages as read or unread
