Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:1206-1217 (registration)Registration of the 'verify_send_as' tool, including inline schema and handler. The handler uses 'handleTool' to validate credentials and call Gmail API's users.settings.sendAs.verify to send a verification email to the specified send-as alias.
server.tool("verify_send_as", "Sends a verification email to the specified send-as alias", { sendAsEmail: z.string().describe("The send-as alias to be verified") }, async (params) => { return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => { const { data } = await gmail.users.settings.sendAs.verify({ userId: 'me', sendAsEmail: params.sendAsEmail }) return formatResponse(data) }) } ) - src/index.ts:1211-1216 (handler)Handler function for 'verify_send_as' tool. It invokes the shared 'handleTool' utility which handles OAuth validation and executes the Gmail API call to verify the send-as alias by sending an email.
async (params) => { return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => { const { data } = await gmail.users.settings.sendAs.verify({ userId: 'me', sendAsEmail: params.sendAsEmail }) return formatResponse(data) }) } - src/index.ts:1207-1209 (schema)Input schema for 'verify_send_as' tool using Zod: requires 'sendAsEmail' as a string.
"Sends a verification email to the specified send-as alias", { sendAsEmail: z.string().describe("The send-as alias to be verified") - src/index.ts:50-66 (helper)Shared 'handleTool' helper used by all Gmail tools, including 'verify_send_as'. It creates/validates OAuth2 client, initializes Gmail client, executes the provided API callback, and handles 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:48-49 (helper)'formatResponse' helper used by 'verify_send_as' handler to format the API response as MCP content.
const formatResponse = (response: any) => ({ content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response) }] })
