Summary

推文指出通过 MCP 连接 Claude 或 ChatGPT 的 Gmail 无法发送附件的问题本质是基础设施问题而非智能问题,并介绍了 Reduck MCP——它借助 Reduck Chrome 扩展让 Agent 访问本地文件,实现文件上传到 Google Drive、通过邮件发送附件等操作。

Did you notice that even if you connect Claude or ChatGPT with Gmail MCP they cannot send attachments? 🤔 Hard to believe AI is going to change our whole world if they cannot send attachments 😅 This is not an intelligence issue, it’s an infra issue: if you use an Agent with MCP only access, they have no way to get and send the bytes to the MCP server. Your agent could theoretically read and write the bytes when calling Gdrive or Gmail MCP but it’s super expensive (especially given that output tokens are 5x more expansive than input tokens) and could be inaccurate for larges files. But that’s where Reduck MCP comes in! Our MCP allows us to load local files accessible to Reduck Chrome extension, so we can use them when running a script that pilots your browser to send your local files to someone. As you can see on the screenshot, it becomes possible to give access to local files to your Agent to do things most MCPs cannot do, from file upload to Gdrive to sending emails with attachments through uploading invoices on your expense portal. If you are interested, you can try Reduck MCP for free!
