What You'll Need

  • A Gemini Advanced, Business, or Enterprise account

  • A Kick account with access to at least one workspace

Tip: Log in to your Kick account in your browser before starting. This makes the authorization step faster.

  2. Click your profile icon in the top right

  3. Select Extensions or Connectors

Step 2: Add the Kick Connector

    • Transport: Select Streamable HTTP or Remote MCP

    • Authentication: Choose OAuth (recommended)

Step 3: Authorize the Connection

A new window will open to Kick's authorization page.

  1. Sign in to your Kick account if prompted

  2. Choose your permissions:

    • Read & write — Full access (write operations require your approval in Gemini)

    • Selected organizations — Choose specific organizations

    • Selected workspaces — Choose specific workspaces

The window will close automatically, and Kick will appear in your extensions list with a "Connected" status.

Step 4: Enable Kick in a Conversation

Once authorized, enable Kick for each conversation where you want to use it.

  1. Start a new conversation in Gemini

  2. Look for the extensions icon or + menu

  3. Toggle Kick on for the conversation

The Kick icon will appear when enabled.


Verify Your Connection

Test that everything is working by starting a conversation with Kick enabled and asking:

Gemini should respond with available tools (like transactions_find, reports_profit_loss_get, workspaces_list) and your active workspace name.


Multimodal Accounting with Gemini + Kick

Gemini's strength is combining visual and text understanding. Here's how that works with Kick:

Upload Receipts and Query Transactions

Gemini reads the receipt, extracts details (amount, vendor, date), then searches Kick for the matching transaction.

Analyze Visual Reports

Gemini interprets the visual, then pulls live data from Kick to verify or contextualize it.

Document-Based Categorization

Gemini extracts invoice details and creates a properly categorized transaction in Kick (with your approval).


Troubleshooting

Can't Find Extensions or Connectors Settings

Extensions may be admin-controlled in Business or Enterprise accounts.

Solution:

  1. Check if your account type supports custom extensions

  2. Contact your Google Workspace admin to enable custom connectors

  3. Verify you have a Gemini Advanced or higher subscription

Authorization Failed

The authorization didn't complete successfully.

  1. Go to Gemini Extensions settings

  2. Remove the Kick extension

  3. Add it again and complete the authorization flow

  4. Make sure you click Authorize on the Kick authorization page

Extension Shows "Error" Status

Network issue or temporary service interruption.

  1. Refresh the page

  2. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the extension

  3. If the issue persists, check Google Workspace Status

Wrong Workspace Showing

Your Kick account has access to multiple workspaces. Tell Gemini which workspace you want to use:

Image Upload Not Working with Kick

Make sure Kick is enabled for the conversation before uploading images.

  1. Check that the Kick extension toggle is on

  2. Upload the image first

  3. Then ask Gemini to use Kick to find related data


Google Workspace Integration

Gemini can combine Kick data with your Google Workspace tools:

Export to Google Sheets

Gemini queries Kick, formats the data, and creates a Sheet you can analyze further.

Generate Reports in Google Docs

Gemini pulls the financial data from Kick and generates a formatted document.

Email Summaries with Gmail

Gemini queries Kick and creates a draft email in Gmail with the findings.

Google Workspace integrations require both the Kick extension and relevant Google Workspace extensions to be enabled.


Data Privacy and Security

  • Your data stays in Kick: Gemini requests data through the MCP connection but doesn't store your Kick data permanently

  • Google's data handling: Gemini processes queries according to Google's enterprise data policies

  • Workspace permissions apply: Gemini can only access workspaces you already have permission to view in Kick

  • You control access: You can disconnect Kick at any time from the Extensions settings

  • Confirmation required for changes: Write operations require your explicit approval before execution


Next Steps

Now that you're connected:

  1. Try a sample query: "List my workspaces" or "What tools can you use?"

  2. Test multimodal features by uploading a receipt and asking Gemini to find it in Kick

  3. Explore Google Workspace integrations by exporting Kick data to Sheets or Docs

  4. Check out the Kick MCP Use Case Library for advanced use cases
