claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Gmail MCP: read_email does not return CC/BCC headers [1 participants]

TL;DR

The mcp__gmail__read_email function needs to be updated to include CC and BCC fields in its response output to support reply-all workflows.

Guidance

• Verify that the mcp__gmail__read_email function is correctly parsing the email headers and check if there are any existing flags or parameters that can be used to include CC and BCC fields.
• Investigate the Gmail API used by mcp__gmail__read_email to see if it supports retrieving CC and BCC headers and if there are any specific requirements or settings needed to include these fields.
• Consider modifying the mcp__gmail__read_email function to use the google-api-python-client to fetch the email headers, including CC and BCC, as a temporary workaround until the issue is resolved.
• Review the email parsing logic to ensure that it correctly handles emails with CC and BCC recipients.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue does not include specific code snippets or APIs that can be used to demonstrate the fix.

Notes

The solution may require updates to the mcp__gmail__read_email function or the underlying Gmail API integration, and may involve additional error handling or edge cases.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by modifying the mcp__gmail__read_email function to use the google-api-python-client to fetch the email headers, including CC and BCC, until the issue is resolved. This will allow for the implementation of reply-all workflows while the root cause is being addressed.
