A Practical Guide to nylas webhook delete

Qasim Muhammad — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 12:45:55 +0000

Real-time event notifications keep your application responsive. nylas webhook delete manages that plumbing.

The nylas webhook delete command removes a webhook destination from your Nylas application. Pass the webhook ID with --id.

How It Works

Webhooks replace polling. Instead of checking every 30 seconds whether new email arrived, the webhook pushes the event to your endpoint within seconds. This reduces API calls and improves latency for your application.

Syntax

nylas webhook delete --id WEBHOOK_ID [--yes]

Examples

Delete a webhook by ID:

nylas webhook delete --id wh_abc123def456 --yes

List webhooks then delete one:

nylas webhook list --json
nylas webhook delete --id wh_abc123def456

Key Flags

Run nylas webhook delete --help to see all available flags. Add --json for machine-readable output — useful when piping into jq or feeding data to scripts.

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

Qasim Muhammad — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 17:01:43 +0000

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.

Pipe to jq: nylas mcp uninstall --json | jq '.' gives you structured data you can filter and transform.

nylas mcp status — Check the status of the Nylas MCP server

Qasim Muhammad — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 17:01:36 +0000

AI assistants like Claude and Cursor need tools to be useful. nylas mcp status connects them to your email and calendar via MCP.

The nylas mcp status command reports whether the MCP server is running, which transport mode it uses, how many tools are registered, and the connected grant. Use it to verify that your AI assistant can reach the Nylas MCP server and that email, calendar, and contact tools are available.

Syntax

nylas mcp status

Examples

Check MCP server status:

nylas mcp status

Verify tools are registered:

nylas mcp status --json | jq '.tools'

How It Works

Common Issues

Status shows no tools registered
Run nylas auth login to connect an account. Tools are registered only when a valid grant exists.

Status shows server not running
Start the server with nylas mcp serve. If it was running, check logs for crash details with --verbose.

Working with nylas mcp serve: Start the Nylas MCP server for AI assistant integration

Qasim Muhammad — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 17:01:27 +0000

Start the Nylas MCP server for AI assistant integration. One command bridges the gap between your AI assistant and your communication data.

The nylas mcp serve command starts a Model Context Protocol server that exposes Nylas email, calendar, and contacts as tools for AI assistants. Choose --transport stdio for direct piping to Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code, or --transport sse for network-based connections.

Syntax

nylas mcp serve [--transport stdio|sse] [--port PORT]

Examples

Start in stdio mode for Claude Code:

nylas mcp serve --transport stdio

Start SSE server on a custom port:

nylas mcp serve --transport sse --port 3200

Tips

Debug mode: Add --verbose to see the underlying API requests and responses — useful when something doesn't behave as expected.

Script-friendly: Add --json for machine-readable output and --yes (where supported) to skip confirmations in automated pipelines.

Using nylas audit logs disable to disable audit logging. Stops recording CLI activity to the audit log file

Qasim Muhammad — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 00:25:21 +0000

When AI agents send emails on your behalf, you need a record of what happened. nylas audit logs disable is part of that audit trail.

The nylas audit logs disable command turns off audit logging so the CLI no longer writes activity records to the log file. Existing log data is preserved — only new entries stop being written.

Examples

Disable audit logging:

nylas audit logs disable

Disable and verify status:

nylas audit logs disable
nylas audit logs status

Syntax

nylas audit logs disable

How It Works

Common Issues

Logs still being written after disable
Restart any long-running CLI processes (e.g., TUI or AIR). The disable takes effect on new CLI invocations.

Command not found
Update to the latest CLI version. Audit commands were added in v0.10.0. Run brew upgrade nylas-cli or re-run the install script.

Show DST transition dates for a timezone, including the next spring-forward and fall-back dates — nylas timezone dst Guide

Qasim Muhammad — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 00:24:50 +0000

Timezone operations that work offline, with zero API calls. nylas timezone dst runs entirely on your machine.

The nylas timezone dst command displays Daylight Saving Time transition dates for any IANA timezone. It shows the next spring-forward and fall-back timestamps, the UTC offset before and after each transition, and how many minutes shift.

Quick Start

brew install nylas/nylas-cli/nylas
nylas init
nylas timezone dst

Syntax

nylas timezone dst --zone TIMEZONE

Examples

Check US Eastern DST transitions:

nylas timezone dst --zone America/New_York

Check EU DST transitions:

nylas timezone dst --zone Europe/London

JSON output for scripting:

nylas timezone dst --zone Asia/Tokyo --json

How It Works

These timezone commands use the IANA timezone database compiled into the binary. No network calls, no API keys, no rate limits. They work on airplanes.

Common Issues

Unknown timezone error
Use full IANA timezone names (America/New_York, not EST). Run nylas timezone list to see all valid identifiers.

No DST transitions shown
Some timezones don't observe DST (e.g., Asia/Tokyo, America/Phoenix). The command correctly reports no transitions for these zones.
