Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:1270-1279 (handler)The core handler implementation for the 'get_profile' MCP tool. It uses the shared handleTool helper to manage OAuth2 authentication and invokes the Gmail API's gmail.users.getProfile method for userId 'me', then formats the response.server.tool("get_profile", "Get the current user's Gmail profile", {}, async () => { return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => { const { data } = await gmail.users.getProfile({ userId: 'me' }) return formatResponse(data) }) } )
- src/index.ts:49-65 (helper)Shared utility function handleTool used by get_profile (and all other tools) to create OAuth2 client, validate credentials, instantiate Gmail client, execute the provided API callback, 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)Utility function formatResponse used by get_profile to format the API response into MCP content structure.const formatResponse = (response: any) => ({ content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response) }] })
- src/index.ts:1270-1279 (registration)Registration of the 'get_profile' tool on the McpServer instance with empty input schema (no parameters required).server.tool("get_profile", "Get the current user's Gmail profile", {}, async () => { return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => { const { data } = await gmail.users.getProfile({ userId: 'me' }) return formatResponse(data) }) } )
