Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:435-446 (registration)Registration of the 'get_label' MCP tool, including description, input schema, and inline handler function.server.tool("get_label", "Get a specific label by ID", { id: z.string().describe("The ID of the label to retrieve") }, async (params) => { return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => { const { data } = await gmail.users.labels.get({ userId: 'me', id: params.id }) return formatResponse(data) }) } )
- src/index.ts:437-439 (schema)Input schema for the 'get_label' tool: requires a string 'id' parameter for the label ID.{ id: z.string().describe("The ID of the label to retrieve") },
- src/index.ts:440-445 (handler)Handler function for 'get_label' tool: uses shared handleTool to authenticate and call Gmail API users.labels.get with the provided label ID, then formats the response.async (params) => { return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => { const { data } = await gmail.users.labels.get({ userId: 'me', id: params.id }) return formatResponse(data) }) }
- src/index.ts:49-65 (helper)Shared helper function used by 'get_label' (and other tools) to handle OAuth2 authentication/validation, create Gmail client, execute the API call, and handle errors.const handleTool = async (queryConfig: Record<string, any> | undefined, apiCall: (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => Promise<any>) => { try { const oauth2Client = queryConfig ? createOAuth2Client(queryConfig) : defaultOAuth2Client if (!oauth2Client) throw new Error('OAuth2 client could not be created, please check your credentials') const credentialsAreValid = await validateCredentials(oauth2Client) if (!credentialsAreValid) throw new Error('OAuth2 credentials are invalid, please re-authenticate') const gmailClient = queryConfig ? google.gmail({ version: 'v1', auth: oauth2Client }) : defaultGmailClient if (!gmailClient) throw new Error('Gmail client could not be created, please check your credentials') const result = await apiCall(gmailClient) return result } catch (error: any) { return `Tool execution failed: ${error.message}` } }
- src/index.ts:47-47 (helper)Shared helper function used by 'get_label' (and other tools) to format API responses in MCP content format.const formatResponse = (response: any) => ({ content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response) }] })
