Nylas MCP
for LuumenAI
Read mail, calendars, and contacts, then draft and schedule with approval
Connect Nylas MCP and the agent can read across email, calendars, and contacts while you work. It looks up grants by address, checks free time for a group, opens a message or event by ID, and converts timestamps between zones. Changes — drafts, events, Notetaker bots, sends — are previewed and approved before they happen.

Questions
Authorize once with API token. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.
This connection exposes write actions such as create draft, create event, delete draft, delete event, and more. For connected tools, admins configure which actions may run automatically and which require approval, within the access granted to the user. Review the configured approval policy before enabling write access.
You decide. Actions are granted per agent, skill, and team, and per environment — production is not staging. Read access can be broad while writes stay narrow.
Every call to Nylas MCP — read or write, approved or declined — is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result, and can be linked to the ticket or change record.
