Gmail

pulsemcp/mcp-servers

Connects to Gmail via OAuth2 for personal accounts or service accounts for Google Workspace domains. Built by PulseMCP, a team focused on production-grade MCP servers with clear design principles around minimizing tool chain steps and token consumption. The dual authentication approach means you can use it for personal email workflows or integrate it into business applications that need programmatic Gmail access across a Workspace organization. If you're building agents that need to read, send, or manage email, this gives you the authentication flexibility to work in either context without switching servers.
