# Connect Gemini

Add Soontra to Gemini as a custom app and sign in.

You need to be an owner or admin of the Soontra workspace. The app signs in to Soontra for you; there is no key to copy.

## Steps

1. **On gemini.google.com, open Settings, Connected Apps, then Add a custom app.**

2. **Paste Soontra’s link as the MCP server URL. Google offers this to personal accounts in the US.**

3. **Sign in to Soontra and pick its access. It replaces the last AI app you signed in.**

Custom app:

```
MCP server URL:  https://app.soontra.com/api/mcp
```

> **Note:** These steps follow Google’s Gemini help center, read on November 10, 2026. If the app has moved its menus since, look for where it adds a custom MCP server or connector.

## Choosing access

Soontra asks which workspace to connect and how much the app may do. **Full access** reads your content and leaves drafts. **Content access** reads only. **Read-only** sees names and structure, not what is inside files. **Download files** is a separate box under Advanced options: tick it to see previews and play media in the chat. Each person keeps one signed-in connection, so connecting a second app replaces the first.

## Try it

Test prompt:

```
List my projects in Soontra.
```

If the app answers with your projects, it is connected. If it says a tool is not available, the connection’s [scopes](https://soontra.com/docs/scopes) do not include it.
