Nylas API MCP Server (Experimental)
Note: This project is experimental and is intended as an exploration of using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) as a guide for Nylas API integrations. It is not official and should be used for learning and experimentation purposes only.
This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the Nylas API. It provides resources, tools, and prompts to help developers learn about and integrate with the Nylas API for email, calendar, and contacts functionality.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard for integrating data, tools, and prompts with AI applications. MCP servers can expose resources, tools, and prompts to AI applications like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible applications.
Features
This MCP server provides:
Documentation Resources: Comprehensive documentation about Nylas API endpoints, authentication, and best practices
Code Samples: Ready-to-use code samples for various Nylas API operations in multiple languages (Node.js, Python, Java, Ruby, curl)
Interactive Tools: Tools to generate authentication code and endpoint-specific implementation code
Prompts: Pre-built prompts for common Nylas integration scenarios
Getting Started
Prerequisites
Node.js 18+
npm
Installation
Clone this repository
Install dependencies
Build the project
Running the MCP Server
Using stdio (for direct integration with MCP clients)
Using HTTP with SSE (for remote connections)
By default, the HTTP server runs on port 3000. You can change this by setting the PORT
environment variable:
Using with MCP Clients
Claude Desktop
Start the MCP server in stdio mode
In Claude Desktop, go to Settings > Servers
Click "Add Server"
Select "Run a local command" and enter the command to start this server:
Give it a name (e.g., "Nylas API")
After adding, you can use all the Nylas API resources, tools, and prompts in your Claude conversations
Cursor
Start the MCP server in stdio mode
In Cursor, add a new MCP server in the settings
Configure it to use the command:
Resources
This MCP server provides the following resources:
General Documentation: Overview of Nylas API capabilities
