gmail-mcp-server is a Gmail app that connects your email to AI tools that support MCP. It lets you use an AI assistant to read mail, write replies, archive messages, add labels, and manage multiple Gmail accounts from one place.
It works with Claude, OpenClaw, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and other MCP-compatible agents. You keep control of your Gmail account while the app handles the link between Gmail and your AI tool.
