Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:667-672 (handler)The handler function that executes the trash_message tool logic: authenticates via handleTool, calls Gmail API to trash the message by ID, and formats the response.async (params) => { return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => { const { data } = await gmail.users.messages.trash({ userId: 'me', id: params.id }) return formatResponse(data) }) }
- src/index.ts:664-666 (schema)Zod input schema defining the required 'id' parameter (message ID) for the trash_message tool.{ id: z.string().describe("The ID of the message to move to trash") },
- src/index.ts:662-673 (registration)MCP server tool registration for 'trash_message', specifying name, description, input schema, and inline handler function.server.tool("trash_message", "Move a message to the trash", { id: z.string().describe("The ID of the message to move to trash") }, async (params) => { return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => { const { data } = await gmail.users.messages.trash({ userId: 'me', id: params.id }) return formatResponse(data) }) } )
- src/index.ts:50-66 (helper)Shared helper function used by trash_message (and other tools) to handle OAuth2 authentication, 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:48-48 (helper)Shared helper function used by trash_message (and other tools) to format API responses in MCP content format.const formatResponse = (response: any) => ({ content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response) }] })
