## What does nylas mcp uninstall do?

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. The command deletes the MCP server entry from the assistant's config file so Nylas tools no longer appear.

## Usage

```bash
nylas mcp uninstall --assistant ASSISTANT
```

## Examples

The nylas mcp uninstall command removes the Nylas MCP server configuration from a supported AI assistant.

### Uninstall from Claude Code

```bash
nylas mcp uninstall --assistant claude-code
```

### Uninstall from Cursor

```bash
nylas mcp uninstall --assistant cursor
```

## Example output

```text
✓ Removed Nylas MCP from Claude Desktop
  Config: /Users/you/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

```

## Troubleshooting

### Config file not found

The assistant may not be installed, or its config is in a non-default location. Check the assistant's docs for the config path.

### Nylas tools still appear after uninstall

Restart the AI assistant to reload its MCP configuration. Some assistants cache tool definitions.
