Gmail MCP server
Give AI agents governed access to the Gmail MCP server through one audited gateway. Scoped permissions, full observability, and tamper-evident logs on every tool call.
What is the Gmail MCP server?
The Gmail MCP server is an open Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI agents to your Gmail inbox. Through it an agent can search mail, read messages, draft and send email, and manage labels without bespoke integration code, while the Averta MCP Gateway keeps every action scoped and audited.
gmail-search-emails
Search the inbox with Gmail query syntax.
gmail-read-email
Read a message and its metadata.
gmail-send-email
Send an email to one or more recipients.
gmail-create-draft
Create a draft for review before sending.
gmail-list-labels
List labels and their message counts.
gmail-add-label
Apply or remove a label on a message.
gmail-archive-email

Why the Averta MCP Gateway
Centralized governance
Unified authentication, audit logging, and rate control for every Gmail MCP connection.
Observability and control
Real-time visibility into usage, anomalies, and SLA compliance across every request.
One-click deployment
Enable the Gmail MCP server for your AI teams through one governed gateway, with no manual setup.
Enterprise hardening
High availability, security, and compliance alignment turn MCP from a developer utility into production-grade infrastructure.
OAuth and SSO enforcement
Enterprise authentication and SSO applied automatically to every Gmail endpoint.
Shared and per-user auth
Configure service accounts or per-user access, with secrets protected and centralized revocation.
One managed endpoint
Connect agents to Gmail through a single governed endpoint instead of locally run servers, improving your security posture.
Granular tool access control
Allow only the tools each role needs. Enable read-only access and block write tools like create and delete.

Gmail MCP server, answered
Security and setup questions teams ask before connecting the Gmail MCP server to AI agents.
Yes. The Averta MCP Gateway sits between your AI agents and any MCP server, giving each agent scoped, per-agent permissions, applying allow, escalate, or block policies on every tool call, and recording a tamper-evident audit of every action. The “Why the Averta MCP Gateway” section on this page covers what it enforces.
It is as safe as the controls around it. The server can read mail and send on your behalf through one token, so scoping and auditing are essential. The Averta MCP Gateway can keep sending behind approval and records every action.
Yes. Tool-level policy lets search, read, and draft run automatically while sending escalates for approval, all recorded.
Route agents through Averta's MCP Gateway for scoped per-agent permissions, tool-level policy, and tamper-evident audit across every Gmail action.
The Gmail MCP server is open source and connects to a Google account through OAuth, so there is no separate license cost. The risk is in scope: the Averta MCP Gateway controls what an agent can read or send and records every action.
Any MCP-compatible client, including Claude and Claude Code, can connect to the Gmail MCP server. Pointing those clients at the Averta MCP Gateway instead of the raw server adds scoped permissions, approval policies, and a tamper-evident log without changing the client setup.
