Connect Gmail and Slack to your AI
Your AI can read your Gmail and post a summary to Slack, so important mail surfaces in the channel. One connection, both tools, works with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and any MCP-compatible AI.

Connect Gmail and Slack
Connect the one MCP URL
Add the single UniversalBench MCP URL to your AI. It works with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and any MCP-compatible AI.
Save your Gmail credential
Create a Google OAuth access token with the Gmail scope, then save it in your secret vault as GOOGLE_TOKEN. That name unlocks the Gmail capability automatically.
Save your Slack credential
Create a Slack incoming webhook (or a bot token to read through the API), then save it in your secret vault as SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL. That name unlocks the Slack capability automatically.
Ask in plain language
Ask for the combined workflow in plain language. Your AI does the whole chain across Gmail and Slack, and only the result comes back.
How Gmail and Slack work together
Your AI can read your Gmail and post a summary to Slack, so important mail surfaces in the channel. Behind one MCP URL, UniversalBench runs the work across both tools and returns only the result, so the back and forth never fills your chat. Tokens you save are referenced as placeholders in the request header and substituted at call time, so they never reach the model.
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Gmail and Slack to my AI?
Add the one UniversalBench MCP URL, then save each tool's credential once in your secret vault (GOOGLE_TOKEN, SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL). After that you ask in plain language and your AI uses both.
Is there a single integration that does both?
Yes. UniversalBench is one MCP server that handles Gmail, Slack, and many other tools behind the same connection, so you set it up once rather than wiring two separate integrations.
Does this work with ChatGPT and Gemini?
Yes. It connects through one standard MCP link, so it works with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and any MCP-compatible AI.
