About this skill

Search Inbox Zero mail, read threads, create mailbox drafts, and manage automation rules through a remote MCP server. Use when the user wants ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor to work with their Gmail or Outlook inbox.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by elie222/inbox-zero in plugins/inbox-zero-mcp/skills/inbox-zero-mcp/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Connect to the Inbox Zero MCP server configured in mcp.json (OAuth, Streamable HTTP). Hosted URL: https://www.getinboxzero.com/mcp.

Tools

  • list_email_accounts first when the user has more than one inbox. Pass emailAccountId or emailAddress on later calls.
  • search_inbox for message metadata and snippets. Do not treat snippets as full bodies.
  • read_thread for truncated plain-text bodies after you have a threadId.
  • create_draft to save a mailbox draft. This does not send. Never invent a send tool.
  • Rule tools (list_rules, get_rule, create_rule, update_rule, delete_rule) and stats tools manage automation and analytics, not mail delivery.

Safety

  • Do not send email. Drafts stay in the mailbox until the user sends them.
  • Do not dump full thread bodies into follow-up tool arguments; summarize.
  • Disconnect and MCP access are controlled in Inbox Zero Settings → Account → MCP, not by this skill.
