Perplexity

Resilient inbox automation

Configure automated retries for `list_unread_emails` or `get_thread_details` if your network flickers. Mastra AI ensures your workflow doesn't crash when hitting API rate limits. You define the logic and the agent handles the execution. It’s built to keep your email processing running even when conditions get messy.

Conditional email routing

Branch your logic based on message content retrieved by `get_message_content`. If the agent finds a specific keyword, you can trigger a `modify_message_labels` action. This lets you build smart sorting pipelines. You set the rules, and the framework manages the flow between your tools and your business logic.

Human-in-the-loop email safety

Gate destructive actions like `trash_gmail_message` behind a mandatory approval step. You prevent accidental deletions by requiring a confirmation before the agent moves a message to the trash. This keeps your critical emails safe while allowing the agent to handle the rest. You get the speed of automation with the control of manual review.

Setup guide

Set up Gmail MCP in Mastra AI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
@mastra/mcp + @mastra/core packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Configure the MCPClient
Create an MCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint as a URL object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and inject tools
Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All Gmail tools become native Mastra tools.
4

Run with any model
Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Call agent.generate() and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.

agent.ts

import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
  id: "gmail-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "gmail-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "Gmail Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to Gmail tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent Gmail transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
