How nylas mcp uninstall Works: Remove MCP integration from an AI assistant

The Model Context Protocol lets AI agents read email, create events, and search contacts. nylas mcp uninstall is part of that setup.

The nylas mcp uninstall command removes the Nylas MCP server configuration from a supported AI assistant. Pass --assistant to specify which one: claude-code, cursor, or vscode.

Syntax

nylas mcp uninstall --assistant ASSISTANT

Examples

Uninstall from Claude Code:

nylas mcp uninstall --assistant claude-code

Uninstall from Cursor:

nylas mcp uninstall --assistant cursor

How It Works

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard from Anthropic. It defines how AI assistants discover and call external tools. The Nylas MCP server registers email, calendar, and contact operations as tools — your assistant sees them in its tool palette automatically.

Tips

CI/CD ready: This command works in non-interactive mode. Set NYLAS_API_KEY as an environment variable and it picks up credentials automatically.
