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.
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. Gem's MCP server gives your connected AI assistant a governed way to use supported Gem tools and data, based on your existing Gem permissions.
Use GeMCP when you want to:
- Summarize candidate, job, Project, or pipeline information
- Ask follow-up questions about recruiting activity
- Explore analytics or dashboard-style questions
- Create repeatable digests or summaries from Gem data
- Use supported write actions where they are available and permitted
Requirements
Before you connect GeMCP, make sure you have:
- A Gem account with access to the data you want to use.
- An AI assistant or developer tool that supports MCP connectors.
- Permission from your organization to connect third-party AI tools to Gem data.
- For Claude Team or Enterprise plans, an Owner or Primary Owner may need to add the connector before individual users can connect.
GeMCP follows your existing Gem permissions. If you cannot access something in Gem, GeMCP should not expose it through your AI assistant.

If you need to switch accounts:
- Disconnect the GeMCP connector from your AI assistant.
