Gmail MCP Integration for AI Agents

Triage, search, and draft email without living in your inbox.

Connect Gmail through a Gmail MCP server, built on the official Google Gmail API with OAuth 2.0, so MoClaw can search your mail, read threads, manage labels, and draft replies for your review. You authorize access through Google, and your credentials are never shared with the agent — it acts through scoped OAuth tokens.

How it works

3 steps to wire up Gmail, no engineering required.

  1. 1

    Set up a Gmail MCP server

    Use a Gmail MCP server backed by the official Google Gmail API. You create an OAuth client and authorize the scopes you want (read, send, drafts, labels), so access is granted through Google rather than by sharing your password.

  2. 2

    Add it to MoClaw

    In MoClaw, go to Connectors and choose Add MCP server, point it at your Gmail MCP endpoint, and complete the Google OAuth flow.

  3. 3

    Ask MoClaw to work your inbox

    Ask it to search, summarize threads, draft replies, manage labels, or pull attachments — in plain language.

Why people connect Gmail to MoClaw

Email is where work piles up fastest. Most of an inbox is triage: find the threads that need a reply, pull the decision out of a long chain, draft the boring responses, and surface the few messages that actually matter today.

With a Gmail MCP server connected, MoClaw can do that triage for you. Ask it to find every unanswered thread from this week, summarize a long back-and-forth into the decision and the open questions, draft a reply in your voice for you to approve, or pull the attachment you need. It works against your real mailbox through the Gmail API, so the answers reflect what is actually in your inbox.

Access goes through Google's OAuth, so you grant only the scopes you want and can revoke them at any time. Drafts are a natural safety boundary: MoClaw can prepare a reply and leave it in your Drafts folder so you review and send it from Gmail yourself.

Try saying

Real prompts you can paste into Gmail.

  • › Find every thread from this week that's waiting on a reply from me and summarize what each needs.
  • › Summarize this long email thread into the decision and the open questions.
  • › Draft a polite reply declining this meeting and suggesting two alternative times, and leave it in my drafts.
  • › Label all receipts from the last month as 'Expenses' and list the total.

“What in my inbox actually needs me today, and draft the easy replies.”

What MoClaw does

  1. 1 Searches recent unread and unanswered threads through the Gmail MCP server.
  2. 2 Reads each thread to find the ones genuinely waiting on you and what they need.
  3. 3 Drafts replies for the straightforward ones and leaves them in your Drafts folder.
  4. 4 Returns a short priority list, flagging the few that need a real decision.
Result

MoClaw reports: '4 threads need you today. I drafted replies for 2 (the invoice question and the scheduling one) — they're in your Drafts. The other 2 need a call: the contract redline and the hiring decision.'

Quick answers about pricing, privacy, and limits.

How does MoClaw connect to Gmail?
Through a Gmail MCP server built on the official Google Gmail API. You authorize it with Google OAuth and add it in MoClaw under Connectors > Add MCP server. Your Google password is never shared with MoClaw; access uses scoped OAuth tokens you can revoke.
Can I keep it from sending email on its own?
Yes. You choose which OAuth scopes to grant, and a common setup is to let MoClaw draft replies into your Drafts folder so you review and send them from Gmail yourself.
What can it actually do?
Depending on the scopes you grant, it can search and read mail, summarize threads, create drafts, send messages, manage labels, and work with attachments.
How is this different from the Google Workspace integration?
The Google Workspace integration covers the broader Workspace suite. This page is for connecting Gmail specifically through a Gmail MCP server when email is the workflow you care about.
