# Connect SeekOut to Gemini Enterprise

> Connect SeekOut to Gemini Enterprise as a custom MCP server data store with help from SeekOut Support and a Google Cloud administrator.

Gemini Enterprise requires a provisioned OAuth client and Google Cloud administrator access. SeekOut Support coordinates the setup with your administrator.

## Prerequisites

* An active SeekOut account or an existing relationship with SeekOut Support
* A Gemini Enterprise subscription
* A Google Cloud or Gemini Enterprise administrator at your organization

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Contact SeekOut support">
    Reach out to [SeekOut Support](https://seekout.com/contact) or your **SeekOut account team** and mention that you want to set up **Gemini Enterprise MCP integration**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share your admin contact">
    Provide contact information for your **Google Cloud** or **Gemini Enterprise administrator**. SeekOut coordinates the provisioning steps with them.
  </Step>

  <Step title="SeekOut provisions the integration">
    SeekOut provisions the OAuth client, shares the connection details through a secure channel, and helps your administrator connect the appropriate Gemini Enterprise app or agent.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Validate the integration">
    Test the connection before making it available to users.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start using SeekOut MCP">
    After provisioning, ask Gemini to use SeekOut:

    <Prompt description="Search SeekOut for data scientists in Boston with five or more years of experience." icon="quote">
      Search SeekOut for data scientists in Boston with five or more years of experience.
    </Prompt>

    Each user can access only the data and actions allowed by their SeekOut role.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Provisioning typically takes a few business days and depends on your Google Cloud administrator's availability.
</Note>

## Technical setup for Google Cloud administrators

<Note>
  Custom MCP server support in Gemini Enterprise is currently in **Preview**. Custom MCP servers can only be used by agents in **Agent Designer**; the default Gemini Enterprise agent cannot query them. Only the StreamableHTTP transport is supported (no SSE); PSC and VPC-SC are not supported in the current Preview.
</Note>

A Google Cloud administrator can also complete the setup:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Grant access">
    Override the organization policy that blocks custom MCP data stores, and grant the user creating the data store the **Discovery Engine Editor** role (`roles/discoveryengine.editor`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Gather the SeekOut-provided values">
    You'll need the MCP server URL, authorization URL, token URL, `client_id`, `client_secret`, and the `mcp:tools` scope.

    ```
    https://seekout-search-mcp.seekout.io/tools
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the data store">
    In the [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com), go to **Gemini Enterprise → Data stores → Create data store**. Search **"Custom MCP Server"** and click **Add MCP server**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter authentication settings">
    Paste the SeekOut-provided values into Authentication settings (MCP Server URL, Authorization URL, Token URL, Client ID, Client Secret, Scopes); click **Login** and complete the SeekOut sign-in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Finish creating the data store">
    Click **Continue**, add a server description, choose your multi-region location and a name, and click **Create**. Wait until the data store state changes to **Active**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable actions and create an agent">
    Open the data store, choose **Actions → Reload custom actions**, select the actions to enable, and click **Enable actions** (off by default). Then create an agent in **Agent Designer** that uses this data store.
  </Step>
</Steps>
