gmail-mcp-server
Provides tools for composing Gmail drafts, allowing users to create email drafts with optional recipient and plain-text body that the owner reviews and sends manually.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@gmail-mcp-serverDraft an email to myself about the Q3 budget review"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
gmail-mcp-server
Standalone Gmail MCP Server — draft-only. Lane never sends; the single tool creates a Gmail draft the owner reviews and sends themselves.
Tools
gmail_draft_compose
Creates a Gmail draft.
Arg | Type | Required | Notes |
| string | no | Falls back to |
| string | no | Leave empty if unknown — the owner fills it in when reviewing the draft |
| string | yes | |
| string | yes | Plain text |
Returns { draftId, messageId, draftUrl }.
There is no send tool, no read tool, and no label/thread management in this server — it composes drafts only.
