Gmail

Connect Gmail to search project correspondence and prepare replies.

What it can do​

  • Search threads and read their messages.
  • List labels and saved drafts.
  • Create drafts for you to review and send from Gmail.
  • Apply or remove labels on messages and threads.

Setup and security​

  • You sign in with your own Google account. Assistant can reach only that mailbox.
  • Tools that change data ask for approval before they run. The Approval column under Supported tools shows each tool's setting.
  • Nomic cannot send email through this server. Drafts stay in Gmail until you send them.
  • Until Google approves Nomic's app, signing in shows a Google MCP access requires whitelisting dialog. Email support@nomic.ai to have your account whitelisted for all Google MCP servers.
  • This server is separate from the Gmail integration under Settings → Integrations. Connecting one does not connect the other.

To connect, see Add an MCP server.

Example requests​

  • "Find emails from the mechanical engineer about the chiller substitution and summarize what was agreed."
  • "Draft a reply to the latest RFI thread from the contractor using the answer we worked out above."
  • "List threads from this week that mention change orders on the Riverside project."
  • "Label every message in the owner's pay application thread as Billing."
