Official MCP Connector for Missive (Read & Write Access for AI Agents)
complete
Alex Leever
Please build an official MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector for Missive so that external AI agents and tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.) can interact with Missive data in a secure, structured way.
What we're asking for:
An official, supported MCP server that exposes Missive resources — conversations, messages, contacts, labels, assignments, and drafts — to any MCP-compatible AI client.
Why this matters:
MCP is quickly becoming the standard protocol for connecting AI assistants to external tools and data sources. Without an official Missive MCP connector, users are forced to build their own unofficial integrations (some community members have already done this), which are unsupported, fragile, and lack proper auth scoping.
With an official MCP connector, Missive users could:
- Ask an AI agent to summarize open conversations or flag urgent threads
- Create and send draft replies via an AI agent that has context from multiple tools (CRM, calendar, notes, etc.)
- Build automations that read Missive data alongside other MCP sources (e.g., Pipedrive, Notion, meeting transcripts)
- Use Missive as a full participant in multi-agent workflows
Suggested capabilities (read + write):
- Read: list/search conversations, fetch message threads, get contact details, retrieve labels and assignments
- Write: create drafts, send messages, apply labels, assign conversations, update contact fields
Why now:
MCP adoption is accelerating rapidly across AI clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.). Teams that rely on Missive as their communication hub deserve a first-class integration, rather than having to work around the gap with screenshots or DIY solutions.
This would be one of the highest-leverage integrations Missive could ship — it opens Missive up to the entire AI agent ecosystem at once.

Hi Eva,
Does the MCP provide access to the app's configuration features? Specifically, the ability to create or modify rules to make it easier to set up workflows.

I sent this request to help desk:
Having Claude+MCP would be game changing. It would allow you to chat with Claude and send emails, check emails, etc
Thanks for reaching out.
Missive already supports Claude models (via Anthropic) as an AI provider, so you can use Claude directly inside Missive for the assistant, prompts, and AI rules. You can set that up under Settings > Integrations > Anthropic.
Missive also supports MCP integrations, but currently as a client, meaning Missive's AI can connect to external MCP servers (Notion, Linear, Stripe, Attio, or any custom MCP server).
If you're asking about Missive exposing its own MCP server so that external tools like Claude Desktop can connect to your Missive data, that's not available yet. I'd recommend opening a feature request here so others can upvote it. You'll be subscribed for updates automatically.
Let me know if you need more details!

This is live now! 🎉
Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP apps can now connect to Missive — conversations, contacts, calendar and drafts. An admin turns it on in Settings, then everyone connects their own app.

Yes! Appreciate the integrated AI in Missive. But people are using ChatGPT, Claude etc. as their main "Work OS". And would be incredible to be able to connect those to Missive using an MCP Server.

Do we need it too, would be great if I could search inboxes, read emails and drop drafts/notes via MCP

Can you also ensure we can add Comments and mention people in the Comments

Also ability to access and digest any email attachments would be a huge benefit here, beyond connecting direct to Gmail MCP for example. Like many, I am sure a lot of important info often sits in document attachments

Eva Tang If you need testers, let me know. Will it support both email and calendars?
Eva Tang
Scott Lowe: we're all good for now! But will be released shortly, aiming for next week probably.
And yes to email and calendars!

Eva Tang Great news! I had built my own local MCP for just mail, so I'm thrilled to get something that's more comprehensive. Thanks!

Eva Tang I may have missed the announcement, but did this make its way to production yet?
Eva Tang
Scott Lowe: not yet! Looking like next week, we added a few new things into it... including attachments :)

Eva Tang Still on track for this week?
Eva Tang

Any news? Are we still expecting this?

Spark already has it. Come on Missive.

We are really in need of this. This is the only app in our tech stack without an MCP and its causing a lot of friction.
