Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
DragApp — Gmail & Whatsapp For AI Tools (Shared Inbox MCP Server)Command (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Obtain an API key from DragApp (Settings → Integrations). Then configure the server in your AI tool’s MCP configuration file (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json for Claude Desktop or .cursor/mcp.json for Cursor) by setting the DRAG_API_KEY environment variable and using the command npx -y @dragapp/mcp-server. The server works with any MCP‑compatible client.
list_boards
List all DragApp boards the user has access to. Call this first to discover board IDs. Returns board name, owner, unread count, and contributor info.
get_board
Get details of a specific DragApp board by ID. Returns board name, owner, and members.
list_columns
List all columns (stages) on a DragApp board. Columns represent workflow stages like To Do, In Progress, Done. Returns label-style IDs (e.g. "Label_1") used by list_threads, filter_threads, and move_thread.
list_board_members
List all boards with their columns and member info. Returns the main board and secondary boards with columns for each.
list_teams
List all teams the user belongs to. Returns team IDs needed by knowledge base tools (list_articles, get_article, create_article, update_article).
list_threads
List items in a specific column of a DragApp board. Call list_columns first to get column IDs — they are strings like "Label_1", not numbers. A column can mix three item types: email threads (have `threadId`/`from`/`subject`), task cards (have `cardId`/`title`/`status`), and WhatsApp conversations (have `cardId`/`contact`). Use `cardId` with get_card / update_card / move_card, or with the whatsapp tools for WhatsApp items.
get_thread
Get a single email message by ID. Returns the HTML body (and a plain-text version), sender, recipients, attachments, and reply-to info for composing a response. You can pass either messageId or threadId — they are the same value.
reply_to_thread
Reply to an existing email thread. Sent from the current user's connected Gmail address. For single-message threads, threadId works as messageId. For multi-message threads, pass the specific messageId you're replying to — get_thread returns it. Confirm with the user before sending when intent is unclear. Reference: https://www.dragapp.com/docs/mcp/
send_new_email
Compose and send a new email from a DragApp board's connected email address. Creates a new thread in the board. Confirm with the user before sending when intent is unclear. Reference: https://www.dragapp.com/docs/mcp/
search_threads
Search items across a board by content or sender. Returns matches with preview snippets. Matches can be email threads (`threadId`), task cards (`cardId`/`title`), or WhatsApp conversations (`cardId`/`contact`). Note: matching is on whole words with no stemming, so "cancellation" will not match "cancelling". If a search returns nothing, try a shorter or differently spelled term, or use filter_threads or list_threads.
filter_threads
Filter email threads by criteria such as assignee, tags, or column. More targeted than search — use this when you know specific filter values.
move_thread
Move an email thread to a different column or board. Use this to triage emails — e.g. move from Inbox to In Progress, or to a different team's board.
move_threads_bulk
Move multiple email threads at once to a different column or board. Use this for batch triage operations.
list_cards_in_column
List all cards in a specific column of a DragApp board. Supports pagination. Cards are email threads or tasks with titles, assignees, due dates, and custom fields.
get_card
Get full details of a card (task or email thread) by ID. Returns title, status, assignees, due date, column, board, note, and timestamps.
create_card
Create a new card (task) on a DragApp board. You can set the title, assign it to a team member, and add a note or comment.
update_card
Update an existing card. Change the title, reassign, add a note, set a due date, or change status. Comments cannot be modified via this tool.
move_card
Move a card to a different column on the same board, or to another board. newColumnId is the label-style column ID like 'Label_1' (returned by list_columns).
archive_card
Archive a task card, which closes it rather than deleting it. The card remains retrievable and its status becomes CLOSED. Email threads cannot be archived with this tool.
list_labels
List all shared labels on a board. Labels are coloured markers used to categorise and filter email threads across the team.
add_label_to_thread
Add a shared label to an email thread (or task). Use list_labels first to find available label IDs for the board.
remove_label_from_thread
Remove a shared label from an email thread (or task).
toggle_labels
Add some labels and/or remove others from a thread in one call.
add_comment
Add a comment to a card. Comments are internal team messages attached to cards, visible to all board members. Reference: https://www.dragapp.com/docs/mcp/
get_comment
Retrieve a specific comment by its ID.
list_tags
List all tags (coloured labels) available on a DragApp board. Tags are used to categorise and filter cards. For email thread labels, use list_labels instead.
add_tag_to_card
Add a tag to a card. Use list_tags first to find available tag IDs for the board.
create_task
Create a standalone task in DragApp. Tasks are lightweight to-do items that can be assigned, given a due date, and tracked on a board.
search_contacts
Search for contacts by name or email. The search text must not be empty. Returns matching contact records with name, email, phone, and domain.
get_contact_conversations
Get all email conversations involving a specific contact. Returns thread subjects, dates, and preview text. Use search_contacts first to find the contact ID.
create_contact
Create a new contact record in DragApp with name, email, and optional phone and note. The contact is filed against a board and becomes visible to that board's members.
list_articles
List all knowledge base articles for a team. Returns article titles, categories, and publication status. Use list_teams to find your team ID first.
get_article
Get the full content of a knowledge base article by ID, including title, body, category, and publication status. Use list_teams to find your team ID first.
create_article
Create a new knowledge base article as a draft, filed under the category you specify. Publishing is done in the Drag web app. Use list_teams to find your team ID first. Reference: https://www.dragapp.com/docs/mcp/
update_article
Update an existing knowledge base article's title, body, or category. Use list_teams to find your team ID first. Reference: https://www.dragapp.com/docs/mcp/
search_knowledge
Search a Help Center knowledge base by keyword. teamId, slug, and query are all optional except query — with no teamId or slug, the first team that has a configured Help Center slug is used.
get_response_times
List individual first-response events for a board over a date range. Every event is a first response to a new email; use get_avg_response_time if you also need follow-up replies. Each event gives intervalTime in milliseconds, the responder, and the thread. Returns raw events, not computed metrics.
get_avg_response_time
List individual reply events on a board over a date range, covering follow-up replies as well as first responses. Each event gives intervalTime in milliseconds, the responder, and the thread; firstResponse is true on first responses and absent on follow-ups. Returns raw events, not a computed average.
get_daily_activity
List individual emails received on a board over a date range, each with its creation timestamp. Returns raw records, not per-day counts. Narrow the date range on busy boards.
get_closed_activity
List individual thread-close events for a board over a date range. Each event gives openedAt, closedAt, intervalTime in milliseconds, and who closed it. Returns raw events, not per-day counts.
list_automations
List all automations configured on a board. Shows automation name, trigger type, actions, and whether each is active. Returns an empty array if no automations exist.
toggle_automation
Activate or deactivate a board automation. Pass active=true to enable or active=false to disable.
toggle_ai_drafts
Enable or disable AI-generated draft replies for a board. When enabling, you must choose a category: 'automatic' (drafts created without prompting) or 'manual' (drafts created on demand).
get_whatsapp_conversation
Get the message history of a WhatsApp conversation (card) on a WhatsApp board. Returns messages oldest-first with direction, text, sender, and timestamp, keeping the most recent `limit` messages. Use the cardId returned by list_threads / search_threads on a WhatsApp board (the `cardId` field).
list_whatsapp_templates
List the pre-approved WhatsApp message templates available on a WhatsApp board. Returns each template's name, language, status, category, body text, and how many {{n}} variables it expects. Only APPROVED templates can be sent.
send_whatsapp_message
Send a free-text WhatsApp message into an existing conversation. Note: WhatsApp only allows free-text messages inside the 24-hour customer service window; outside it, use send_whatsapp_template instead. Requires an existing conversation card — starting a conversation with a number that has never messaged the business is not supported. Confirm with the user before sending when intent is unclear.
send_whatsapp_template
Send a pre-approved WhatsApp template message into a conversation. Use this to reach a contact outside the 24-hour window. Call list_whatsapp_templates first to get the exact template name and language, and to see how many {{n}} variables it needs. Requires an existing conversation card — starting a conversation with a number that has never messaged the business is not supported. Confirm with the user before sending when intent is unclear.
