# How do I use Evaboot from Gemini?

**Add Evaboot to Gemini as a custom app, then type `@` in a chat and choose Evaboot.** You sign in through your browser. No API key is needed.

Once connected, the app works on the web and in the Gemini mobile app. Gemini can build a Sales Navigator search from your description, launch the export, and find or verify emails. It uses the same credits and daily quota as the Evaboot dashboard.

**Server URL:** `https://mcp.evaboot.com/mcp`

## Before you start

- **A personal Google account.** A work or school account cannot add a custom app.
- **Gemini in English, with Keep Activity on.** For now, custom apps are available in the US.
- **An Evaboot account.** You sign in to it during setup.
- **A connected Sales Navigator account** for searches and exports. Email finding and email verification work without one.

## Steps

1. **Open [Connected Apps](https://gemini.google.com/apps)** in Gemini.

2. **Add a custom app** under **Custom apps**.
3. **Paste the URL.** Enter `https://mcp.evaboot.com/mcp`. Leave the advanced credentials empty. The server registers itself.
4. **Sign in to Evaboot and approve.**
5. **In a chat, type `@` and choose Evaboot.**

## Then ask

For example: "@Evaboot find HR directors at French SaaS companies and export the first 50 with emails".

## If it didn't work

- **You can't add a custom app.** Check that you use a personal Google account, in English, with Keep Activity on.
- **Gemini answers without using Evaboot.** Type `@` and choose Evaboot at the start of your message.
- **The connection fails, or Gemini reports a 401.** Remove the app and add it again. This redoes the sign-in.
- **No Evaboot tools appear.** Remove the app and add it again.
- **A tool says "insufficient credits" (402).** Check your balance in the Evaboot dashboard.
- **A tool returns a 429 error.** If the message starts with `No connected LinkedIn account`, run one extraction from the Evaboot Chrome extension to reconnect your seat. Otherwise you reached the daily export limit of your Sales Navigator seat: wait for the daily reset.
- **Quota shows 0, or a tool returns 409.** Evaboot lost your Sales Navigator connection. In Chrome, signed in to the same Evaboot account, open a Sales Navigator search and click **Export with Evaboot**. Opening the launch page is enough. Then retry.
