Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Automate a task

Put Gmail to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Gmail works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Gmail to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 30 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Gmail, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Gmail. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

This MCP is built for professionals who spend their day in technical or high-volume communication environments.

  • 01

    Engineers

    They use it to pull monitoring alerts and pull request updates directly into their IDE.

  • 02

    Marketers

    They use it to draft personalized outbound emails and manage campaign responses.

FAQ

Questions Gmail owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my Gmail to my AI client?

    You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and provide your Google OAuth credentials. Once connected, you can use it immediately in any compatible client like Claude or Cursor.

  • 02

    Can my AI agent send emails on my behalf?

    Yes, the agent can use the send_email capability to send messages immediately or the create_draft capability to save a message for you to review first.

  • 03

    Is my data secure?

    The MCP uses standard Google OAuth credentials to manage access, ensuring your connection follows Google's security protocols.

  • 04

    Can I use this with my enterprise Google Workspace account?

    Yes, this MCP works with both personal Gmail accounts and enterprise Google Workspace accounts.

  • 05

    What happens if I delete a message through the AI?

    If you use the trash capability, the message goes to your trash folder and can be recovered. If you use the batch_delete capability, the message is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

  • 06

    Can the AI send emails autonomously on my behalf?

    Yes, if authorized by you in the conversational context. The send_email capability allows fully crafting, attaching subject lines, and dispatching payloads out of your alias.

  • 07

    How does searching work in a massively clogged inbox?

    The integration exposes a wrapper around Google's native filtering syntax. You simply supply native params like "is:unread from:dev" and the egress bounds automatically stream only small context snippets.

  • 08

    Is my email data retained or trained by the server?

    No, Vurb MCP architecture operates exclusively locally. The network connection executes your query endpoint-to-endpoint securely matching Google standard scopes directly to your client.
