Questions

• What does trashEmail do?

  Move a Gmail message to trash. It is one of the tools The Cloud MCP server gives every connected AI.

• How do I use trashEmail from Claude or ChatGPT?

  Connect your AI to The Cloud at https://mcp.thecloud.so/mcp and sign in once. Then ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any AI connected to The Cloud "delete that email", and it calls trashEmail.

• Is trashEmail safe to let an AI call?

  trashEmail deletes or sends, and calling it again does not undo it, so a careful client confirms with you before it runs. It reaches a system outside The Cloud on your behalf.
