What's Wrong?
The create_draft tool in the Gmail MCP plugin (claude-plugins-official, UUID: f567704a-3fa5-4b45-8d2c-ff6c7fe80710) no longer has a threadId parameter. As a result, all drafts are created as new standalone threads instead of replies within the original Gmail conversation.
What Should Happen?
create_draft should accept a threadId parameter so that the created draft is attached to an existing Gmail thread (Gmail API v1 supports this natively). Previously, this parameter existed and worked correctly.
Error Messages/Logs
No error is thrown. The draft is silently created as a new thread. Confirmed via `list_drafts`: the returned threadId is always a new ID, never the original thread's ID.
Steps to Reproduce
- Install the Gmail MCP plugin from claude-plugins-official marketplace
- Find an existing Gmail thread ID using
search_threads - Call
create_draft— observe thatthreadIdis not available as a parameter - The created draft starts a new thread instead of replying to the original conversation
