Remi Interesting point! But let me challenge you with an even more powerful use case that would require full Gmail access 😄 :
Imagine an agent that has access to my meetings AND my full inbox. Here’s the flow:
📅 Context: I have a discovery call scheduled for today
🎙️ After the meeting: My transcript gets automatically pulled from Modjo or other (linked to that specific meeting)
📧 The challenge: In my inbox, I have TONS of emails, including the original thread where we organized this meeting
What I want the MCP Gmail to do:
- 1.
Smart thread detection: Cross-reference the meeting title/participants with my email history to find the RIGHT email thread that led to this meeting
- 2.
Contextual draft creation: Push the follow-up draft directly INTO that existing thread (not create an isolated new draft)
- 3.
Then we can do a full automation using the meeting data + transcript + email context every time we get the transcript from our 3rd provider 😉 (webhook)
Why this beats the Chrome extension approach:
No manual copy/pasting of transcripts
No hunting through hundreds of emails to find the right thread
Perfect context preservation (the draft appears exactly where it should)
Still keeps control since we’re using drafts 😉
This would be TRUE email intelligence - but it requires full Gmail access to search/analyze existing threads, not just draft manipulation...
Other use case will be the same as we can do with slack after 1 month of holidays and we want to catch up everything... cross that with our gmail inbox too 😉
Happy to discuss 😛
