# Gmail MCP Server > **Gmail MCP Server** is a hosted, multitenant Model Context Protocol (MCP) server run by **MewCP** (https://mewcp.com), giving AI agents managed access to Gmail. > > MewCP takes care of all MCP infrastructure for you — credential storage, OAuth flows, > token refresh, and production-grade auto-scaling — so your AI agents can connect to > third-party services and run freely without you managing any MCP server yourself. > > Server page: https://mewcp.com/mcp/google-gmail > MewCP docs: https://docs.mewcp.com > Full catalog: https://mewcp.com/llms.txt --- ## About Manage Gmail end to end with tools for sending, reading, replying to and organizing emails. Work with threads, labels, drafts, attachments and inbox workflows while keeping communication and email automation in one place. --- ## Details - Server ID: `google-gmail` - Version: 1.0.0 - Tools: 43 - Authentication: OAuth, managed by MewCP - Calls served: 1235 - Transport: http --- ## Access The gateway URL below serves your **entire MewCP toolset**, not this server on its own. Pasting a config snippet is not enough — Gmail has to be in the toolset first. In order: 1. Add Gmail to your toolset at https://mewcp.com/mcp/google-gmail 2. Connect your Gmail account (OAuth); MewCP stores the credential and attaches it to each call 3. Copy your MewCP API key from the dashboard (Developer) 4. Configure your client with the snippet for it below Once connected, an agent does **not** see this server's tools as top-level tools. It sees four meta-tools and reaches everything through them: - `search(query)` — find tools by keyword across the toolset - `get_schema(tools)` — full description and arguments for the tools you picked - `list_accounts(provider)` — only when one app has several connected accounts - `call_tool(server_maskedId, tool_name, args)` — execute So the list below is what `search` can return for this server, not a set of callable tool names on their own. --- ## Tools (43) Descriptions are truncated to 160 characters; call `get_schema` for the full text and the argument schema.

Start a new conversation — your tool will be available ### VS Code Copilot / Cline - Command Palette → "MCP: Open User Configuration" (opens mcp.json). For one project only, use .vscode/mcp.json instead. ```json { "mcp.servers": { "mewcp": { "type": "http", "url": "https://gateway.mewcp.com/personal/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer API_KEY" } } } } ``` Already have a "servers" section in your mcp.json? Just add the server entry inside it. 1. Open VS Code → Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) 2. Run "MCP: Open User Configuration" to open your mcp.json 3. Paste the snippet and save 4. Start the server when prompted (or from the MCP servers view) and use it in Copilot Chat ### Cursor AI-first editor - macOS: `~/.cursor/mcp.json` - Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json` ```json { "mcpServers": { "mewcp": { "url": "https://gateway.mewcp.com/personal/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer API_KEY" } } } } ``` Already have an "mcpServers" section in your mcp.json? Just add the server entry inside it. 1. Open Cursor → Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP 2. Click "Add new global MCP server" 3. Paste the snippet and save 4. Restart Cursor ### Codex OpenAI's CLI agent - Add the snippet to your Codex MCP config or your standard MCP config file for the CLI tool you use. ```json { "mcpServers": { "mewcp": { "type": "http", "url": "https://gateway.mewcp.com/personal/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer API_KEY" } } } } ``` Codex generally reads a standard MCP server block, so you can add this alongside your other configured servers. 1. Open your Codex MCP config or project-level config file 2. Paste the MewCP server block inside the config JSON/TOML structure your tool expects 3. Save the file and restart Codex 4. Verify the tool is available inside a fresh session ### Claude Code Anthropic's CLI agent - ~/.claude.json (user scope) or .mcp.json in your project root — create it if it doesn't exist. Or skip the file and use the CLI command below. ```json { "mcpServers": { "mewcp": { "type": "http", "url": "https://gateway.mewcp.com/personal/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer API_KEY" } } } } ``` Already have an "mcpServers" section in your config? Just add the server entry inside it. 1. Open ~/.claude.json (or .mcp.json in your project root) in a text editor 2. Paste the snippet inside the outer { } (merge with your existing "mcpServers" section if you have one) 3. Save the file and start (or restart) Claude Code 4. Or skip the file entirely and run the CLI command below instead ### OpenCode Open-source terminal agent - ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json (global) or opencode.json in your project root — create it if it doesn't exist. ```json { "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json", "mcp": { "mewcp": { "type": "remote", "url": "https://gateway.mewcp.com/personal/mcp", "enabled": true, "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer API_KEY" } } } } ``` Already have an "mcp" section in your opencode.json? Just add the server entry inside it. 1. Open ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json (or opencode.json in your project root) in a text editor 2. Paste the snippet inside the outer { } (merge with your existing "mcp" section if you have one) 3. Save the file and start (or restart) OpenCode ### OpenClaw Self-hosted agent gateway - ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json — create it if it doesn't exist. ```json { "mcp": { "servers": { "mewcp": { "transport": "streamable-http", "url": "https://gateway.mewcp.com/personal/mcp", "enabled": true, "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer API_KEY" } } } } } ``` Already have an "mcp" section in your openclaw.json? Just add the server entry inside "servers". 1. Open ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json in a text editor 2. Paste the snippet inside the outer { } (merge with your existing "mcp" section if you have one) 3. Save the file and restart OpenClaw ### Antigravity Google's agentic IDE - ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json (global) or .agents/mcp_config.json (workspace-local) — create it if it doesn't exist. ```json { "mcpServers": { "mewcp": { "serverUrl": "https://gateway.mewcp.com/personal/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer API_KEY" } } } } ``` Already have an "mcpServers" section in your config? Just add the server entry inside it. Remote servers must use the "serverUrl" field — the legacy "url"/"httpUrl" fields aren't supported. 1. In the editor's agent side panel, click "…" → "MCP Servers" → "Manage MCP Servers" → "View raw config" (Antigravity CLI: type /mcp instead to open the Interactive MCP Manager) 2. Paste the snippet inside the outer { } (merge with your existing "mcpServers" section if you have one) 3. Save the file — the server connects automatically ### Hermes Nous Research's CLI agent - config.yaml in your Hermes config directory (~/.hermes) — add this under a top-level "mcp_servers:" key. ```yaml mcp_servers: mewcp: url: "https://gateway.mewcp.com/personal/mcp" headers: Authorization: "Bearer API_KEY" ``` Already have an "mcp_servers" section in your config.yaml? Just add the server entry inside it. 1. Open config.yaml in your Hermes config directory 2. Paste the snippet under the top-level "mcp_servers:" key (merge with existing entries if you have any) 3. Save the file, then run /reload-mcp in Hermes (or start a fresh session) 4. Ask Hermes "Tell me which MCP-backed tools are available right now" to confirm it connected ### DeepSeek Harness DeepSeek's agent harness - cordis.yml in your DSH project — or the patch file you mount plugins from. ```yaml - id: mcp-mewcp name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client' config: serverName: mewcp transport: streamable-http url: https://gateway.mewcp.com/personal/mcp headers: Authorization: "Bearer API_KEY" ``` One plugin instance = one MCP server. Add this entry to your plugin list; don't nest it inside another entry. 1. Open cordis.yml (or your patch file) in your DSH project 2. Paste the entry into your plugin list, keeping the leading dash and indentation 3. Restart DSH (or let HMR reload) — tools register as mcp__mewcp__ 4. Verify with: dsh web --dump-config | grep -A3 mcp ## SDKs ### Python fastmcp client ```python import asyncio from fastmcp import Client from fastmcp.client.transports import StreamableHttpTransport SERVER_URL = "https://gateway.mewcp.com/personal/mcp" API_KEY = "API_KEY" transport = StreamableHttpTransport( url=SERVER_URL, headers={ "Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}", } ) async def main(): client = Client(transport) async with client: tools = await client.list_tools() print(tools) asyncio.run(main()) ``` 1.
