Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:955-966 (handler)Registration and inline handler for the 'get_delegate' tool. The handler authenticates via handleTool, calls the Gmail API to retrieve the specified delegate, and formats the response.
server.tool("get_delegate", "Gets the specified delegate", { delegateEmail: z.string().describe("The email address of the delegate to retrieve") }, async (params) => { return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => { const { data } = await gmail.users.settings.delegates.get({ userId: 'me', delegateEmail: params.delegateEmail }) return formatResponse(data) }) } ) - src/index.ts:957-959 (schema)Input schema for the get_delegate tool, defining the required 'delegateEmail' parameter.
{ delegateEmail: z.string().describe("The email address of the delegate to retrieve") }, - src/index.ts:49-65 (helper)Shared helper function 'handleTool' used by get_delegate (and all tools) for OAuth2 authentication, credential validation, Gmail client creation, and error handling.
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 'formatResponse' used to format the API response into MCP content format.
