Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:1125-1136 (registration)Registration of the 'get_send_as' tool with McpServer, including description, input schema, and inline handler function.server.tool("get_send_as", "Gets the specified send-as alias", { sendAsEmail: z.string().describe("The send-as alias to be retrieved") }, async (params) => { return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => { const { data } = await gmail.users.settings.sendAs.get({ userId: 'me', sendAsEmail: params.sendAsEmail }) return formatResponse(data) }) } )
- src/index.ts:1130-1135 (handler)The handler function executes the tool logic: authenticates via handleTool, calls Gmail API gmail.users.settings.sendAs.get, and formats the response.async (params) => { return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => { const { data } = await gmail.users.settings.sendAs.get({ userId: 'me', sendAsEmail: params.sendAsEmail }) return formatResponse(data) }) }
- src/index.ts:1127-1129 (schema)Zod input schema defining the required 'sendAsEmail' parameter for the tool.{ sendAsEmail: z.string().describe("The send-as alias to be retrieved") },
- src/index.ts:49-65 (helper)Shared helper function handleTool that manages OAuth2 authentication, creates Gmail client, executes the provided API callback, and handles errors. Used by get_send_as and all other tools.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)Helper function to format API responses into MCP content structure.const formatResponse = (response: any) => ({ content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response) }] })
