Connecting the Talkpush MCP to Gemini

A practical guide for individual users and company admins — 2026 edition

Written by Crismin Joy Lagamayo

In Gemini, the Talkpush MCP is added as a custom data store inside a Google Cloud Enterprise application — so setup is primarily an admin task. Once an admin has wired up the data store and connected it to the app, individual users only need to authorize with their own credentials to start using it.

Not set up on the Talkpush MCP yet? Head to Getting Started with Talkpush MCP first to understand what it does and grab your credentials.

Gemini

To connect the Talkpush MCP to Gemini, you will need an Enterprise account with Google Cloud, as well as an active application to connect the Talkpush MCP as a data store. You may follow the previous links for information on this if your organization does not have a Gemini application set up.

As an admin for your organization, you will need to have access to the app and to the creation of data stores within the application. Once you have that, you may follow these steps:

Adding the Talkpush MCP as a data store

  1. Under data stores, choose + Create data store

  2. Here, search for "Custom MCP Server" and select it.

  3. You'll be asked for the MCP Server URL, Authorization URL, Token URL, OAuth Client ID, and OAuth Client Secret. These are all available under the "Choose your platform" section in the MCP website.

  4. Copy and paste them, and choose Login

  5. You'll be prompted to log into the Talkpush MCP server, using your Client ID and Client Secret

  6. You will be asked for a description and instructions, these are determined by how you and your organization wish to use the Talkpush MCP.

  7. Finally, you'll need a name. We suggest simply "Talkpush MCP".

  8. Once created, head to the Actions section of your data source, choose all needed actions and enable them. If they don't show up, you might need to Reload custom actions.

  9. Congrats! You've added the MCP and all its actions as a data store.

Connecting the Talkpush MCP data store to your application

  1. Choose your Gemini application you wish to connect to the Talkpush MCP.

  2. From here, go to Connected data stores.

  3. Choose "Add existing data stores"

  4. Choose the Talkpush MCP and click Connect to add it to the app.

  5. Done! You may now open your app.

Using the Talkpush MCP within your custom Gemini app.

These are the steps to follow if you are just the app end user and the MCP has already been added as a data store.

  1. Under connectors, find the Talkpush MCP connector.

  2. Click on Authorize

  3. Enter your own personal Client ID and Client Secret (must be different from the one used to set the MCP up)

  4. You'll know it's done once it is toggleable.

  5. Done! You can now use the talkpush MCP from conversations within this app.
