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_draftgmail_get_profilegmail_list_draftsgmail_list_labelsgmail_read_messagegmail_read_threadgmail_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
