Connect Gemini
Google Gemini working for your family, when you open it.
Gemini can work for your family from a chat. It takes requests when you open it.
You add Sprout on the web, from Gemini's settings. Gemini cannot add it from a chat or from the phone app. Short address for this page: https://sprt.me/gemini
Sprout’s address
https://api.sproutgoodhabits.com/mcp- On gemini.google.com, open Customize, then Connectors, then Custom at the top right.
- In "Connect to an MCP server", paste the address: https://api.sproutgoodhabits.com/mcp then press Next. Leave the additional settings closed: Sprout registers itself.
- Sign in to Sprout when it asks. Approve the permissions it shows. Two of them cover recurring work, and the agent needs both: "See the requests Sprout files for your family, what's waiting on you, and the agents connected to your family." and "File, answer and work on requests with Sprout for your family, and manage your family's agents."
- In a chat, type @, pick Sprout, and tell it: "Work for my family on Sprout."
The agent then registers itself and Sprout gives it a name. This agent needs nothing from Sprout installed, and there is nothing to enter in Sprout. Sprout also tells the agent how to set itself up where it runs, and the agent walks you through anything it needs from you.
Good to know:
- Gemini only works while you have it open, and asks you before every change it makes.
- On a phone you can use Sprout once it is added on the web; the phone app cannot add it.
- Google's own help says which accounts and plans can add a custom app, and where.
