Set Up SeekOut MCP Integration with Gemini Enterprise

Integrate SeekOut MCP with Gemini Enterprise through a SeekOut-supported provisioning process involving your Google Cloud admin and the SeekOut team.

SeekOut MCP supports Gemini Enterprise through a provisioned setup coordinated by the SeekOut team. Because Gemini Enterprise requires OAuth client credentials and Google Cloud admin access, SeekOut handles the technical provisioning and works directly with your admin to complete the connection. You don't need to configure anything manually.

Prerequisites

  • A Gemini Enterprise subscription
  • A Google Cloud or Gemini Enterprise admin contact at your organization
  • An active SeekOut account or an existing relationship with SeekOut Support

Setup

1
Contact SeekOut Support

Reach out to SeekOut Support or your SeekOut account team and mention that you want to set up Gemini Enterprise MCP integration.

2
Share your admin contact

Provide the best contact for your Google Cloud or Gemini Enterprise admin team. SeekOut will coordinate with them directly for the technical provisioning steps.

3
SeekOut provisions the integration

SeekOut provisions the required OAuth client, shares connection details through a secure channel, and works with your Google Cloud admin to connect the integration to the appropriate Gemini Enterprise app or agent. No manual client configuration is required on your end.

4
Validate the integration

SeekOut works with your team to validate that the connection is working correctly before rolling it out to users.

This provisioning process typically takes a few business days, depending on the availability of your Google Cloud admin. Reaching out to SeekOut Support early helps avoid delays.

After Setup: What Users Experience

Once the integration is live, users don't need to install or configure anything. They can ask Gemini directly to interact with SeekOut:

  • "Search SeekOut for data scientists in Boston with five or more years of experience."
  • "Compare software engineering talent markets in Austin and Raleigh using SeekOut."
  • "Review this candidate's SeekOut profile and summarize their background."

All actions respect each user's existing SeekOut permissions — users can only access data and perform actions that their SeekOut role allows.

Technical Setup for Google Cloud Admins

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.

If your team prefers to provision the connection yourselves, a Google Cloud admin can complete the setup directly:

1
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).

2
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.

3
Create the data store

In the Google Cloud Console, go to Gemini Enterprise → Data stores → Create data store. Search "Custom MCP Server" and click Add MCP server.

4
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.

5
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.

6
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.

See the Gemini Enterprise custom MCP server documentation for full setup details.
