Overview
GeMCP lets you connect Gem to an AI assistant that supports MCP, so you can ask questions about your Gem data in plain language. This article covers how to connect to GeMCP using various AI assistants.
Please refer to Use GeMCP for details of recommended prompts and use cases.
Requirements
- You must have a Gem account with access to the data you want to use.
- You must use an AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, etc.) or developer tool that supports MCP connectors.
- You must have permission from your organization and access to connect third-party AI tools to Gem data. Or you may need an administrator to configure GeMCP for you.
GeMCP follows your existing Gem permissions. If you cannot access something in Gem, GeMCP should not expose it through your AI assistant.
Connect to your AI assistant
Each AI assistant uses a different process for connecting to MCP. See the links below for relevant instructions for each of the main AI assistants.
Regardless of your AI assistant, use the https://mcp.gem.com/mcp as the server URL.
Connect GeMCP in Claude
Refer to Anthropic’s Help Center Article on adding customer connectors (MCP)
Connect GeMCP in ChatGPT
Refer to OpenAI’s Help Center on adding plugins, which is their terminology for connectors/MCPs.
Connect GeMCP in Gemini
Refer to Google’s Help Article on adding MCPs to Gemini.
Connect GeMCP in Copilot
Refer to Microsoft’s Help Article on adding MCPs to Copilot
Gem Authorization
If you’re an admin, you have the option to turn off access to GeMCP for your users. Navigate to your Team Settings and toggle on or off MCP access.
AI Tool Authorization
When your AI tool (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, etc.) asks you to authorize Gem, confirm that you are signed in to the correct Gem account and choose the access level your organization wants to allow.
GeMCP still follows your existing Gem permissions. Any of the above tools should not be able to use GeMCP to access or update Gem data that your Gem user cannot access or update directly in Gem.
Tool Permissions
Review your AI tool’s permissions after setting up GeMCP. Permission settings vary by tool.
Connect GeMCP in developer tools
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http gem-mcp https://mcp.gem.com/mcpCodex
codex mcp add gem-mcp --url https://mcp.gem.com/mcpCursor
- Go to Cursor Settings > Tools & MCPs > New MCP Server.
- Add the following configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"gem-mcp": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.gem.com/mcp"
}
}
}After you add the configuration, Cursor can connect to GeMCP using the Gem MCP server URL.
Confirm the right Gem account is connected
GeMCP connects to the Gem account you authenticate during setup. If you use more than one Gem instance, confirm that you are logged in to the correct Gem account before connecting.
If you need to switch accounts:
- Disconnect the GeMCP connector from your AI assistant.
- Log in to the correct Gem account.
- Reconnect the GeMCP connector.
- Start a new conversation before using customer or sensitive data.
After you reconnect, GeMCP uses the Gem account and permissions from your new authentication session.
