SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

NanoClaw lacked a seamless Gmail integration, forcing manual email workflows and scattered configuration across tools. This skill provides an end-to-end Gmail MCP integration with two modes: a Tool Mode for on-demand email actions triggered from WhatsApp and a Channel Mode that enables email-triggered automation and replies, along with guided OAuth setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tool Mode: Agent can read and send emails when prompted from WhatsApp, without continuous polling.
  • Channel Mode: Emails can trigger the agent, enable task scheduling, and receive replies via Gmail.
  • Setup Guidance: Walks you through creating Google Cloud OAuth credentials and configuring the Gmail MCP integration for NanoClaw.

Quick Start

Follow the setup prompts to configure Gmail MCP, enable the Gmail API, authorize OAuth, and test the integration by sending WhatsApp commands like "@Andy check my recent emails" or "list Gmail labels".
