Gemini Spark can connect MCP servers, but every tool still needs repeated approval
tristanbob · x · 2026-08-04
The author says their MCP server works as a custom app for Gemini Spark, but the user experience is still rough:
- users must approve every tool
- approval is required every time a tool is used
- tool names are shown in raw form, without friendly labels or descriptions
- there is no central place to review or change approval status
- the UI only lists tools, not their descriptions
The post ends by thanking Google for MCP support and asking for polish before it becomes a truly good experience.
