How it works / Connect Gemini · Leer en español

Add Spica Post to Gemini.

Gemini uses outside tools through Connected Apps. You add one link on the Gemini website, approve one login, and Gemini can draft and schedule your posts from your computer or your phone.

Menu names in Gemini change between versions. If a step looks different, look for the connectors section in its settings.

Before you start

  • A Spica Post account with at least one social account connected.
  • Your MCP link, shown on your Spica Post account page.
  • A personal Google Account. Google does not offer custom apps on work or school accounts yet.
  • Google's own conditions for custom apps: you are 18 or older and in the United States, Gemini is set to English, and Keep Activity is on.

Steps

  1. On a computer, open gemini.google.com. A custom app is added on the website; after that it works in the phone app too.
  2. At the bottom, click Settings, then Connected Apps. If it is not there, click Personal Intelligence first.
  3. Under Custom apps, choose Add a custom app.
  4. Paste your MCP link as the app's MCP server URL and click Next. Leave Advanced features closed: there is nothing to type there.
  5. Gemini opens the Spica Post login page. Sign in and approve the connection.
  6. In a chat, type @ and pick Spica Post, then ask for a post. For example: "Draft a Facebook post about Saturday's sidewalk sale and schedule it for Thursday at noon."

Good to know

Typing @ first is the sure way to have Gemini use Spica Post for that request. Gemini asks you to confirm before it schedules or publishes anything, and Spica Post still waits for your yes to the draft.

If something goes wrong

  • The login page doesn't open. Remove the connection in Gemini and add the link again.
  • The assistant says an account needs reconnecting. Open the reconnect link it gives you, sign in to that platform again, then repeat your request.
  • A post fails a check. The assistant is told which of the platform's limits it went over. Ask it to fix the draft and try again.

Next: how it works, pricing or everything your assistant can do.
