Gmail MCP: gmail_send_draft tool missing from hosted server

Resolved 💬 4 comments Opened Mar 8, 2026 by daydrinker27-source Closed Apr 9, 2026

Description

The hosted Gmail MCP server at gmail.mcp.claude.com/mcp no longer exposes a gmail_send_draft tool. The gmail_create_draft tool description still references it:

"Draft ID to use with gmail_send_draft tool"

...but the tool itself is not available when discovered via ToolSearch.

Available Gmail MCP tools (as of 2026-03-08)

  • gmail_create_draft
  • gmail_get_profile
  • gmail_list_drafts
  • gmail_list_labels
  • gmail_read_message
  • gmail_read_thread
  • gmail_search_messages

Expected

A gmail_send_draft (or gmail_send_email) tool should be available so that Claude Code can send emails end-to-end without requiring the user to manually open Gmail and hit send.

Context

This previously worked — the user was able to send drafts directly from Claude Code CLI in earlier sessions. The tool appears to have been removed from the hosted MCP server.

Environment

  • Claude Code CLI v50.13.2
  • MCP server: https://gmail.mcp.claude.com/mcp (Anthropic-hosted, connected and authenticated)
  • macOS Darwin 25.0.0
