Our reading of Better Workspace, from the data

Better Workspace is a email MCP server from n24q02m, listed in the official MCP Registry.

We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.

It looks abandoned: the newest commit, release or package publish we found was 35 days ago (2026-09-13). For comparison, 59% of email servers are active or maintained.

With 1 GitHub stars it ranks #183 of 932 email servers we index.

It runs locally on your machine over stdio and needs one secret (GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET); use a scoped, least-privilege key.
