Implementation Reference

  • Handler for the search_gmail tool. Dispatches tool execution to the callAPI helper function with action 'searchGmail' and tool arguments.
    case "search_gmail": result = await callAPI("searchGmail", args); break;
  • Input schema for search_gmail tool defining parameters: query (string, Gmail search syntax) and maxResults (number).
    inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { query: { type: "string", description: "Gmail search query (default: 'is:unread')" }, maxResults: { type: "number", description: "Max results (default: 25, max: 100)" } } }
  • index.js:334-350 (registration)
    Registration of the search_gmail tool in the MCP server's tool list, including name, description, and input schema.
    { name: "search_gmail", description: "Search Gmail inbox. Use Gmail search syntax like 'from:email@example.com' or 'is:unread' or 'subject:proposal'", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { query: { type: "string", description: "Gmail search query (default: 'is:unread')" }, maxResults: { type: "number", description: "Max results (default: 25, max: 100)" } } } },
  • Shared helper function callAPI used by search_gmail (and other tools) to proxy requests to the Google Apps Script backend at the configured API_URL with the specified action and parameters.
    async function callAPI(action, data = {}) { debugLog('=== API CALL START ==='); debugLog(`Action: ${action}`); debugLog(`Data: ${JSON.stringify(data)}`); try { // Build form-encoded body for POST const formData = new URLSearchParams(); formData.append('action', action); // Add all data fields to form for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(data)) { if (value !== undefined && value !== null) { formData.append(key, value.toString()); } } const formString = formData.toString(); debugLog(`FormData: ${formString}`); debugLog(`API_URL: ${API_URL}`); // Use POST with proper content type const response = await fetch(API_URL, { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', }, body: formString }); debugLog(`Response status: ${response.status}`); debugLog(`Response ok: ${response.ok}`); if (!response.ok) { debugLog(`Response not OK: ${response.status} ${response.statusText}`); throw new Error(`API request failed: ${response.status} ${response.statusText}`); } const text = await response.text(); debugLog(`Response text length: ${text.length}`); debugLog(`Response text: ${text}`); if (!text) { debugLog('ERROR: Empty response from API'); throw new Error('Empty response from API'); } const parsed = JSON.parse(text); debugLog(`Parsed successfully: ${JSON.stringify(parsed)}`); debugLog('=== API CALL END ==='); return parsed; } catch (error) { debugLog(`ERROR in callAPI: ${error.message}`); debugLog(`ERROR stack: ${error.stack}`); throw error; } }
