Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:1329-1338 (registration)Registration of the 'stop_mail_watch' tool. Includes tool name, description, empty input schema (no parameters required), and inline handler function that executes the Gmail API call to stop mailbox watching via the shared 'handleTool' utility.
server.tool("stop_mail_watch", "Stop receiving push notifications for the given user mailbox", {}, async () => { return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => { const { data } = await gmail.users.stop({ userId: 'me' }) return formatResponse(data) }) } ) - src/index.ts:1332-1337 (handler)The handler function for 'stop_mail_watch' tool. It invokes the shared 'handleTool' with the Gmail API callback to call 'gmail.users.stop({ userId: "me" })', which stops push notifications for the user's mailbox.
async () => { return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => { const { data } = await gmail.users.stop({ userId: 'me' }) return formatResponse(data) }) } - src/index.ts:50-80 (helper)Shared helper function 'handleTool' used by all Gmail tools, including 'stop_mail_watch'. Manages OAuth2 authentication, credential validation, Gmail client creation, API execution, and specialized error handling for authentication issues.
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) { // Check for specific authentication errors if ( error.message?.includes("invalid_grant") || error.message?.includes("refresh_token") || error.message?.includes("invalid_client") || error.message?.includes("unauthorized_client") || error.code === 401 || error.code === 403 ) { return formatResponse({ error: `Authentication failed: ${error.message}. Please re-authenticate by running: npx @shinzolabs/gmail-mcp auth`, }); } return formatResponse({ error: `Tool execution failed: ${error.message}` }); } } - src/index.ts:48-48 (helper)Utility function 'formatResponse' used to standardize tool responses as MCP content blocks with JSON-stringified data.
const formatResponse = (response: any) => ({ content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response) }] }) - src/index.ts:1331-1331 (schema)Empty input schema for 'stop_mail_watch' tool, indicating no parameters are required.
