Cloud. Gmail MCP with get attachment tool #338
Description
Thank you for adding Gmail MCP to marketplace for Cursor Web Version (Cloud).
But I found one problem that is critical for me. That version of MCP can't get attachment from mail, for example PDF. The feature is necessary for me, it's one of the reasons where AI agent can really help with mailbox.
However, another MCP has it: gmail-mcp-server. It was designed for Claude, firstly. I use it with my Cursor Desktop App and I want to use it with Cursor Cloud and Mobile.
Please, add Gmail MCP with get attachment tool to your cursor.com/marketplace

Hey, thanks for the report, and sorry for the long silence. You're right about the current state: the hosted Gmail MCP that the connector uses returns attachment names and metadata only, there is no tool that returns the bytes, so an agent can't read a PDF from an email. This is tracked, and a download path is being wired up on our side (in review for Grok Bot first; Cloud and Mobile are on the same request). Until then the workaround that works today is Drive: save or forward the attachment into Google Drive and read it through the Drive connector, which does have a download tool. I'll update here when the Gmail side ships.
