What it does
Google's own remote MCP server for Gmail, hosted at gmailmcp.googleapis.com and offered through the Google Workspace Developer Preview Program. An agent can search mail threads, open a single message or a whole thread, list labels and drafts, write new drafts, and add or remove labels on messages and threads. The tool list in Google's reference has no tool that sends mail. Setup means enabling the Gmail MCP service in a Google Cloud project and creating a web OAuth client marked for AI agents; the user then signs in with OAuth 2.0. Google documents setup for Antigravity and for Claude as a custom connector.
