The Gmail MCP that finally works. Anthropic's official Gmail is read-only and returns snippets only on HTML emails. No body content even on FULL_CONTENT mode. Super Gmail fixes both. HTML-aware parsing on every read. Full send, threaded replies, drafts, labels, archive, trash. Plus an AI layer for inbox summaries, action items, and AI-drafted replies. 20 tools, freemium.
Overview
The Gmail MCP that finally works. Anthropic's official Gmail server has two real problems: it is read-only (no send tool, no send_draft, no send_message) and it returns snippets only on HTML emails, even on FULL_CONTENT mode. Most of your inbox is HTML. Newsletters, receipts, transactional alerts. Their server gives you nothing.
Super Gmail fixes both. 20 tools, freemium. The way Gmail integration should have worked from day one.
What Anthropic's Gmail can't do
- Returns snippets only on HTML emails. No body content even on FULL_CONTENT mode.
- No send_email, no send_draft, no send_message. Drafts can be created but never sent from the MCP.
- No HTML parser. Everything beyond plaintext is invisible to it.
What Super Gmail adds
- HTML email reader. Custom parser strips formatting to clean text on every read.
- Full send capability. Send, reply with proper threading (subject and Message-ID preserved), draft, send_draft.
- Inbox management. Apply labels, mark read, archive, trash.
- AI layer. summarize_inbox, extract_action_items, draft_ai_reply, find_unsubscribe.
