# Gemini

Gemini can read your fivebar stats over MCP, and answer questions about them.

Ask it about your sites in your own words, such as why traffic jumped on Tuesday, and it answers from your figures, following fivebar’s rules about what they mean. Connecting is adding fivebar’s address, signing in and choosing Allow, with no key to copy.

## Before you start

A personal Google account, in the United States, aged 18 or over, with Gemini in English and Keep Activity on. Work and school accounts can’t add custom apps. Google may also ask for a Google AI plan.

## Add fivebar

1. At gemini.google.com, open **Settings**, then **Connected Apps**.
2. Under Custom apps, choose **Add a custom app**, and give it the address `https://fiveb.ar/api/mcp`. Leave **Advanced features** as they are: fivebar needs no credentials.
3. Choose **Next**, and follow the prompts.

## Sign in

Gemini opens fivebar to sign in as you add it.

fivebar opens in your browser. Sign in if you need to, check that the page names Gemini, and choose Allow. Gemini can then [read the stats](https://fiveb.ar/docs/mcp.md#what-an-app-can-read) of every site on your Sites page, and changes nothing of yours unless you also tick the box to let it [change settings](https://fiveb.ar/docs/mcp.md#changing-settings).

## Try it

Gemini uses fivebar when a question calls for it. To ask it by name, type **@** and choose fivebar. Added on the web, it works in the Gemini mobile app too.

Ask Gemini about your sites in your own words, such as:

- Which pages did best last week, and where did their visitors come from?
- How does this month compare with last month so far?
- How many people are on my site right now?

## Removing it

Remove fivebar in **Settings**, **Connected Apps**.

To stop Gemini reading your stats from fivebar’s side, disconnect it in [Settings](https://fiveb.ar/settings).
