Example questions

Try asking your AI client

  • Give me a summary of the Gmail threads I received in the last 2 days.

Overview

Read and send email through Gmail API with AI clients. Use this Gmail MCP integration to connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor to a Google mailbox with OAuth — no IMAP passwords in prompts.

Common use cases

  • Connect Gmail to ChatGPT or Claude — search threads, read messages, and draft replies through MCP tools.
  • Governed OAuth scopes — credentials stay in stackgate.ai; agents never see your Google password.
  • Cross-tool workflows — download attachments to Temp Storage and hand files to other integrations via the private gateway.

Prerequisites

  • A Google account with Gmail enabled
  • A stackgate.ai account

Getting credentials

  1. Sign in to stackgate.ai and open Integrations → Gmail.
  2. Click Activate, then Connect Gmail.
  3. Sign in with Google and grant the requested Gmail scopes.

stackgate.ai uses the same Google OAuth app as Google Calendar and Search Console where applicable.

Using with AI clients

  • Dedicated endpoint: POST /mcp/gmail
  • Private gateway: gmail__* tools

Set store_in_temp_storage=true on download_attachment to store an attachment in Temp Storage and receive a file_id for cross-tool handoff. Requires Temp Storage activated on My Integrations.

Troubleshooting

  • Insufficient scopes — reconnect Gmail to refresh OAuth permissions.
  • Send failures — verify the connected account has permission to send from the requested address.
