Connect Gemini to Rise so you can ask questions about your Rise reporting data. For what you can ask once it's set up, see Use an AI assistant with Rise.

Early access: Connecting an AI assistant to Rise is currently available in early access. To request access for your organization, contact Support.

Note: This setup is more technical than Claude or ChatGPT. You'll either use the Gemini CLI (a command-line tool) or have your IT admin set it up in Gemini Enterprise. If you aren't comfortable editing a settings file, ask your IT team. You also need a Rise account with reporting access.

Gemini CLI

1. Add Rise to your settings file

The Gemini CLI reads its setup from a settings.json file. Use ~/.gemini/settings.json to apply it everywhere, or .gemini/settings.json to apply it to one project.

Add Rise under mcpServers, using httpUrl:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rise": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.risepeople.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

2. Sign in

Start or restart the Gemini CLI, then run /mcp auth rise. A browser window opens. Sign in with your Rise account and approve access. reports:read covers most questions; also approve reports:write if you want Gemini to build and save reports.

Note: If sign-in asks you for connection details, use these: Authorization URL https://api.risepeople.com/v1/oauth/authorize, Token URL https://api.risepeople.com/v1/oauth/token, scopes reports:read reports:write, and PKCE enabled.

3. Confirm and ask

Run /mcp list to check that Rise is connected. Then ask a question, such as "What's our average tenure by location?"

Gemini Enterprise

Your IT admin adds Rise as a custom MCP server in the Gemini admin console, using the same server URL and sign-in settings above. After that, each person signs in with their own Rise account.

Troubleshooting

• Gemini shows Rise as disconnected. Make sure you used httpUrl (not url) in the settings file, then run /mcp auth rise again.
• No browser window opened. Open the link the CLI shows manually, or add the connection details from the note above.
• Gemini can't find any reports. Your Rise account may need reporting access turned on. Contact Support.
• Gemini can't save a report. Run /mcp auth rise again and approve the reports:write permission.

Remove the connection

Delete the rise entry from your settings.json file, or have your admin remove it from the Gemini Enterprise console. You can also revoke access from your Rise account.
