Can the AI send emails autonomously on my behalf?

Yes, if authorized by you in the conversational context. The `send_email` tool allows fully crafting, attaching subject lines, and dispatching payloads out of your alias.

How does searching work in a massively clogged inbox?

The integration exposes a wrapper around Google's native filtering syntax. You simply supply native params like "is:unread from:dev" and the egress bounds automatically stream only small context snippets.

Is my email data retained or trained by the server?

No, Vurb MCP architecture operates exclusively locally. The network connection executes your query endpoint-to-endpoint securely matching Google standard scopes directly to your client.

30 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

batch_delete_messages

This is NOT reversible — messages cannot be recovered. Use trash instead for safe deletion. Permanently delete multiple messages

create_inbox_filter

Criteria fields: from, to, subject, query, hasAttachment, negatedQuery. Action fields: addLabelIds, removeLabelIds, forward, star, markImportant. Provide criteria and action as JSON strings. Create an inbox filter rule

list_mailbox_history

Get the starting history ID from get_gmail_profile. Useful for incremental sync and change detection. Track mailbox changes since a point in time

list_gmail_messages

Use the "q" parameter for Gmail search syntax (e.g. "from:boss@company.com is:unread", "has:attachment", "newer_than:2d"). Returns message IDs and thread IDs — use get_message_content to read full details. List messages from the inbox

get_message_content

Use after list_gmail_messages to read specific emails. Read the full content of an email

send_email

Supports plain text and HTML body, CC, BCC, and reply threading via inReplyTo/references headers. The email is sent immediately. Compose and send an email

send_draft

The draft is removed after sending. Send an existing draft

get_attachment

Returns base64-encoded data and size. First use get_message_content to find attachment IDs in the message payload parts. Download an email attachment

modify_message_labels

Use label IDs (e.g. "UNREAD", "STARRED", "INBOX", or custom label IDs from list_mailbox_labels). Removing "UNREAD" marks as read. Add or remove labels from a message

trash_gmail_message

Messages in trash are auto-deleted after 30 days. Use untrash_gmail_message to recover. Move a message to the trash

untrash_gmail_message

Recover a message from the trash

batch_modify_messages

Useful for bulk operations like "mark all as read" (remove UNREAD) or "archive all" (remove INBOX). Provide message IDs as a JSON array string. Bulk-modify labels on multiple messages

get_thread_details

System labels include INBOX, SENT, TRASH, SPAM, STARRED, UNREAD, IMPORTANT, etc. Use label IDs when modifying message labels. List all labels in the mailbox

Labels act as tags — one message can have multiple labels. Use list_mailbox_labels to see existing labels before creating duplicates. Create a custom label

delete_label

System labels (INBOX, SENT, etc.) cannot be deleted. This is not reversible. Delete a label permanently

list_drafts

Returns draft IDs and attached message snippets. Use get_draft for full content or send_draft to dispatch. List email drafts

get_draft

Use this to review a draft before sending. Read a specific draft

create_draft

The user can review and modify the draft in Gmail or send it later using send_draft. Safer than sending directly. Create an email draft
