How to Integrate Interview Trix with Gemini

Connect Interview Trix to Gemini with a Gem + OpenAPI (bearer token) or a Connected App + MCP (OAuth). Step-by-step setup, test prompts, and troubleshooting.

Part of the Interview Trix AI assistant integration series.

Gemini integration options

  • Method A — Gem + OpenAPI (recommended) — Bearer token; works on all Gemini accounts with Gems.

  • Method B — Connected App + MCP — OAuth; availability varies by account/region.

Step 0 — Set up Interview Trix connectors

Do this before connecting ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.

0.1 Open AI connectors in Interview Trix

  1. Sign in at interviewtrix.com.

  2. Go to Dashboard → Profile → AI connectors (direct link).

  3. Copy the MCP server URL and OpenAPI schema URL from the Connection section.

0.2 Generate an access token (when needed)

  1. On the same page, enter a token name (e.g. ChatGPT Custom GPT, Gemini Gem).

  2. Click Generate token.

  3. Copy the full token immediately — Interview Trix will not show it again.

  4. Store it in your password manager or paste it directly into the AI app setup.

Skip token generation for OAuth-only flows (ChatGPT MCP connector, Claude plugin, Gemini Connected App).


Production server URLs

MCP server URL:
https://mcp.interviewtrix.com/mcp

OpenAPI schema URL:
https://mcp.interviewtrix.com/api/connector/v1/openapi.json

0.3 Verify the connector (optional)

curl -s https://mcp.interviewtrix.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server | jq .

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  https://mcp.interviewtrix.com/api/connector/v1/entitlements | jq .




Method A — Gemini Gem + OpenAPI (recommended)

Requirements

  • gemini.google.com

  • OpenAPI URL: https://mcp.interviewtrix.com/api/connector/v1/openapi.json

  • Bearer token from Step 0.2 above


Step-by-step

  1. Open Gemini → Gem manager → New Gem (e.g. Interview Trix Coach).

  2. In instructions, tell the Gem to use Interview Trix tools and return editor/start links from responses.

  3. Add a tool/action → OpenAPI / Import schema.

  4. Paste: https://mcp.interviewtrix.com/api/connector/v1/openapi.json

  5. Set authentication:

Authentication type: API key (Bearer)
Header: Authorization
Value:  Bearer itx_live_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
  1. Save the Gem and run test prompts in a new chat.

Troubleshooting

  • Schema import fails: Use …/api/connector/v1/openapi.json, not /mcp.

  • 401 Unauthorized: Regenerate token; check Bearer prefix.

  • Connected App missing: Use Method A (Gem + OpenAPI).

Security and privacy

  • Revoke unused tokens under Profile → AI connectors.

  • Disconnecting a plugin in ChatGPT or Claude does not revoke server-side tokens — revoke explicitly if needed.

  • See the Privacy Policy for how connector access is logged.
