What's Wrong?
*Environment: Claude Code [version] on macOS
MCP Server: Zapier MCP (gmail_send_email)
Error: MCP error -32602: Tool gmail_send_email not found
Steps to reproduce:**
- Connect Zapier MCP server with Gmail "Send Email" action configured
- Ask Claude to send an email via Gmail
- Claude calls gmail_send_email → error returned
Expected: Email sent successfully
Actual: "Tool gmail_send_email not found" — tool is visible and tested
successfully in Zapier's own interface, but Claude cannot invoke it via MCP
Note: Zapier's test button confirms Gmail is connected and working.
The issue appears to be a tool name mismatch between Claude Code's MCP
catalog and Zapier's actual MCP server.
What Should Happen?
Description
When Claude Code calls gmail_send_email via Zapier MCP, it returns:MCP error -32602: Tool gmail_send_email not found
Gmail is fully configured in Zapier MCP and works when tested directly
from Zapier's interface. The issue is a tool name mismatch — Zapier's
MCP server doesn't recognize the tool name gmail_send_email that
Claude Code sends.
Environment
- Claude Code on macOS
- Zapier MCP server connected
- Gmail "Send Email" action configured and account connected
Steps to Reproduce
- Add Zapier MCP server to Claude Code
- Configure Gmail "Send Email" action in Zapier MCP
- Ask Claude to send an email via Gmail
- Claude calls
gmail_send_email→ error
Expected
Email sent successfully
Actual
MCP error -32602: Tool gmail_send_email not found
Notes
- Zapier's own Test button confirms Gmail works correctly
- Same error occurs for
microsoft_outlook_send_email get_configuration_urltool works fine — server is connected- Problem appears to be naming mismatch between Claude's static
tool catalog and what Zapier's MCP server actually exposes at runtime
