Connect Claude Code to Gmail MCP. Summarize unread emails from this morning, create draft replies to urgent messages, and more using natural language, with authentication handled for you.
Gmail is Google's email service with powerful spam protection, search, and G Suite integration. It keeps your inbox organized and makes communication fast and reliable.
Manage your Gmail directly from Claude Code with zero worries about OAuth hassles, API-breaking issues, or reliability and security concerns.
You can do this in two different ways:
1. Add the Composio MCP to Claude
2. Start Claude Code
claude3. Open your MCP list
/mcp4. Select Composio and click on Authenticate
5. This will redirect you to the Composio OAuth page. Complete the flow by authorizing Composio and you're all set.
The Gmail MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Gmail account. It provides structured and secure access to your email, drafts, attachments, labels, and contacts, so your agent can read messages, send emails, manage drafts, organize your inbox, and handle conversations on your behalf.
Composio SDK is the underlying technology that powers these integrations. It provides a universal gateway with full programmatic control. You can programmatically generate an MCP URL with the app you need (here Gmail) for even more tool search precision. It's secure and reliable.
The Composio SDK follows a three-phase workflow:
# macOS, Linux, WSL
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash
# Windows PowerShell
irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex
# Windows CMD
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.cmd -o install.cmd && install.cmd && del install.cmdTo install Claude Code, use one of the following methods based on your operating system:
cd your-project-folder
claudeOpen a terminal, go to your project folder, and start Claude Code:
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_hereCreate a .env file in your project root with the following variables:
COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio (get it from Composio dashboard)USER_ID identifies the user for session management (use any unique identifier)npm install @composio/core dotenvInstall the Composio TypeScript library to create MCP sessions.
@composio/core provides the core Composio functionalitydotenv loads environment variables from your .env fileimport 'dotenv/config';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
const { COMPOSIO_API_KEY, USER_ID } = process.env;
if (!COMPOSIO_API_KEY || !USER_ID) {
throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID required in .env');
}
const composioClient = new Composio({ apiKey: COMPOSIO_API_KEY });
const composioSession = await composioClient.create(USER_ID, {
toolkits: ['gmail'],
});
const composioMcpUrl = composioSession?.mcp.url;
console.log(`MCP URL: ${composioMcpUrl}`);
console.log(`\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:`);
console.log(`claude mcp add --transport http gmail-composio "${composioMcpUrl}" --headers "X-API-Key:${COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"`);Create a script to generate a Composio MCP URL for Gmail. This URL will be used to connect Claude Code to Gmail.
What's happening
create() to create a Tool Router session for Gmailmcp.url is the MCP server URL that Claude Code will usenode --loader ts-node/esm generate_mcp_url.ts
# or if using tsx
tsx generate_mcp_url.tsRun your TypeScript script to generate the MCP URL.
claude mcp add command from the outputclaude mcp add --transport http gmail-composio "YOUR_MCP_URL_HERE" --headers "X-API-Key:YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY"
# Then restart Claude Code
exit
claudeIn your terminal, add the MCP server using the command from the previous step. The command format is:
claude mcp add registers a new MCP server with Claude Code--transport http specifies that this is an HTTP-based MCP servergmail-composio) is how you'll reference it--headers includes your Composio API key for authenticationAfter running the command, close the current Claude Code session and start a new one for the changes to take effect.
claude mcp listCheck that your Gmail MCP server is properly configured.
gmail-composio entry in the listIf everything is wired up, you should see your gmail-composio entry listed:
The first time you try to use Gmail tools, you'll be prompted to authenticate.
Once authenticated, you can ask Claude Code to perform Gmail operations in natural language. For example:
Here's the complete code to get you started with Gmail and Claude Code:
import 'dotenv/config';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
const { COMPOSIO_API_KEY, USER_ID } = process.env;
if (!COMPOSIO_API_KEY || !USER_ID) {
throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID required in .env');
}
const composioClient = new Composio({ apiKey: COMPOSIO_API_KEY });
const composioSession = await composioClient.create(USER_ID, {
toolkits: ['gmail'],
});
const composioMcpUrl = composioSession?.mcp.url;
console.log(`MCP URL: ${composioMcpUrl}`);
console.log(`\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:`);
console.log(`claude mcp add --transport http gmail-composio "${composioMcpUrl}" --headers "X-API-Key:${COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"`);You've successfully integrated Gmail with Claude Code using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Gmail directly from your terminal using natural language commands.
Key features of this setup:
Next steps:
You can extend this by adding more toolkits, implementing custom workflows, or building automation scripts that leverage Claude Code's capabilities.
Every Gmail action and event your agent gets out of the box.
