Connect Claude to your team’s Gmail in about two minutes.

Giving an AI assistant access to Gmail usually means a Google Cloud project, an OAuth review and a pile of setup. Sortd hosts an MCP server instead. Add one URL to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client, approve the scopes, and your assistant can work your team’s boards.

Available now on the Business plan: shared inboxes, the REST API, MCP access and agent automation.

Setup

Three steps. No Google Cloud Console.

Step 1

Add the connector

In Claude, open Customize → Connectors, choose Add custom connector, name it Sortd and paste https://api.sortd.com/mcp. In ChatGPT, turn on Developer mode and create a connector with the same URL.

Step 2

Approve the scopes

Complete the Connect Sortd sign-in. The consent screen lists exactly what the assistant can do. Sending is opt-in and never implied.

Step 3

Ask it something

Try “Which Sortd boards can you see?” and then put it to work on a real inbox.

Why it’s faster

Skip the setup that stops most agent projects

Sortd handles the Google side once, for your whole Workspace. Your assistant gets scoped access to boards, threads and drafts.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need a Google Cloud project or OAuth review?

No. Sortd hosts the MCP server, so you don’t create a Google Cloud project, submit an OAuth app for review or touch DNS. You approve Sortd’s scopes once in the browser.

Can the assistant send email?

Only if you grant a send scope. Without one, it can at most create drafts that wait in Gmail for you or your team to send.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes, on paid plans with Developer mode turned on. Create a connector with the URL https://api.sortd.com/mcp and choose OAuth. On Business and Enterprise workspaces an admin may need to allow custom connectors first.

What about Claude Code, Cursor or other CLIs?

They connect with an API key in a config file instead of the browser sign-in. The setup for each is in the Sortd docs under AI CLI.

Which plan do I need?

Business, which includes full API and MCP access with no credit meter.
