This n8n workflow streamlines and automates email management using AI interactions via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Designed to enhance productivity, it integrates multiple Gmail tools to facilitate sending, reading, organizing, and updating emails through natural language commands.

The workflow begins with the ‘MCP Server Trigger,’ which serves as the entry point for AI-driven requests related to Gmail. It routes these requests to specific nodes depending on the action needed. The key nodes include Gmail tools for sending emails (‘Gmail – Send Email’), retrieving email content (‘Gmail – Get Email’), marking emails as read or unread (‘Gmail – Mark Read’ and ‘Gmail – Mark Unread’), and organizing emails with labels (‘Gmail – Add Labels’ and ‘Gmail – Remove Labels’).

Additionally, several Sticky Notes are included for documentation and visualization purposes, explaining the functions of each node and guiding users on how to employ each feature.

This workflow can be practically applied in scenarios where users seek hands-free, AI-assisted email management—such as responding to incoming messages, organizing emails with labels, and maintaining an efficient inbox—making it ideal for busy professionals, customer support teams, or automation enthusiasts seeking smarter email workflows.
