Clear Your Gmail Inbox

For an operator with a backlog of hundreds of unread emails who wants to reach inbox zero in one session. It classifies every message, applies labels in bulk, archives the noise, and drafts replies to the handful that need them.

The grind

Inbox zero is a myth

Here's what doing this by hand looks like today, and why it doesn't scale.

Unread keeps piling up faster than you can process it.
You cannot tell what actually needs a reply from what is just noise.
Starting over each morning means re reading the same five newsletters.

MewCP collapses all of this into one prompt. Here's what that looks like.

The flow

7 steps · 3 servers

Your agent runs it end-to-end

List all the unread messages.

Fetch the bodies in batches.

Classify each message against your label scheme, such as action, FYI, receipts, or newsletter.

Make sure the labels exist, then apply them in bulk.

The payoff

Inbox zero by 9am

One pass labels every unread, archives the noise, and leaves drafts waiting for the handful that actually need you.

Paste this into Claude, Codex, or any MCP-connected agent. It'll connect your apps and run the task from start to finish.
