Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Missive
Daniel Mochnal
Request to add support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Missive.
The goal is to enable integration of Missive with agents and tools that use MCP, allowing secure and standardized communication between Missive and AI models.
This would simplify the creation of AI-driven automations and advanced workflows without the need for custom integrations.

This is taking so long that i am using my own for some time already locally: https://github.com/davidsimoes/missive-mcp

David Simões - yeah, how are you getting around the lack of 'archive' support?

Agreed, this is nice but around the wrong way to what I was expecting.

Gareth Bissland: Could you share the exact workflow you'd use this in?
Specifics are helpful.

Eva Tang I think the original goal of this thread was to have a Missive MCP so that OTHER tools could connect to Missive and retrieve data.
What was just released appears to be the opposite. It allows Missive's AI to connect to external tools. While that's valuable, I don't think that was the original goal of this post.

Dan Morin: Ah okay, I'll put this back on the board!
There is a workaround to make this happen. You can create a MCP using Relay which can wrap around Missive's API: https://docs.relay.app/ai/mcp

Eva Tangyhaaa done that but that requires maintaining your own local server that occasionally breaks... also there are some basic operations which don't work well in the api -- ;like archiving a conversation from gmail :)

This is great! How can we recommend MCPs to add?
Eva Tang
Charles Hudson: No need! You can create a custom one: https://missiveapp.com/docs/ai/using-ai/mcp-integrations#custom-mcp-server

This has shipped! Here's a quick example of what it looks like:

have there been any updates here? Missive is a critical part of our CX workflows and without the ability to get context from emails and their threads we have a massive blindspot in our Claude workflows

Great Point! Imagine being able to access Missive from Notion AI ..
