Using Robin in your AI Assistant

Bring Robin into the AI assistant you already work in. Check your reservations, find a desk or a room, look up a teammate or a building, and get things done in Robin from the chat.

 

How it works

Robin MCP is a server that speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard AI assistants use to reach outside tools and data. Point your assistant at it, sign in with your Robin account, and the assistant works with Robin on your behalf. It sees and does only what your own Robin account allows.

 

Before you start

  • An active Robin account. You'll sign in with the same credentials (or SSO) you use for Robin today.
  • The Robin connector URL: https://mcp.robinpowered.com/mcp

Important note: The AI assistant can only access what the person using it can access in Robin. If they cannot book a desk in Robin, they will not be able to book a desk in the assistant. If they cannot create or see a floor plan in Robin, they will not be able to in the assistant.

 

Connect your AI assistant

Claude

Robin is available in Claude's Connector Directory. For information on using Robin in Claude, please see Connect Robin to Claude

 

ChatGPT

Custom connectors need developer mode, which ChatGPT offers on its Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Education plans.

  1. Switch on developer mode: Settings → Security and login → Developer mode.
  2. Open ChatGPT Plugins and press + to create a connector.
  3. Give it a name and a short description, set Connection to URL, and paste: https://mcp.robinpowered.com/mcp
  4. Save it. ChatGPT lists the Robin tools it found.
  5. Sign in with your Robin account when asked.
  6. In a new chat, pick Robin from the tools menu, or just mention Robin in your message.
  7. ChatGPT checks with you before anything that changes data in Robin. Approve the actions you want.
     

Microsoft Copilot Studio

  1. Open the agent you want to give Robin to and go to its Tools.
  2. Choose Add a tool, then New tool, then Model Context Protocol.
  3. Paste the server URL: https://mcp.robinpowered.com/mcp
  4. Under Authentication, pick OAuth 2.0 with the Dynamic discovery type.
  5. Create a connection, or reuse one, and sign in to Robin.
  6. Select Add to agent.

 

Gemini

Robin works with two Google products. Use the steps for the one you have.

 

Antigravity CLI (agy)

Antigravity CLI replaces Gemini CLI, and reads MCP servers from its own config file rather than Gemini CLI’s settings.

  1. You need Antigravity CLI installed.
  2. Add Robin to ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json, or to a project’s .agents/mcp_config.json. If the file already lists servers, add the robin entry to its mcpServers: { "mcpServers": { "robin": { "serverUrl": "https://mcp.robinpowered.com/mcp" } } }
  3. Start agy and run /mcp to open the MCP manager. Robin should be listed.
  4. Sign in to Robin when Antigravity asks.
 

Gemini Enterprise

For Google Cloud admins adding Robin as a data store in Gemini Enterprise. The Gemini app itself only takes custom MCP servers on personal Google accounts, not work accounts, so use Gemini Enterprise for your organization.

  1. In the Gemini Enterprise console, open Data stores, create one, and pick Custom MCP Server as its source.
  2. Set authentication to OAuth 2.0 and fill in:
    1. MCP server URL: https://mcp.robinpowered.com/mcp
    2. Authorization URL: https://auth.robinpowered.com/api/oauth/authorize
    3. Token URL: https://auth.robinpowered.com/token
    4. Registration URL:  https://auth.robinpowered.com/register
    5. Gemini Enterprise registers itself with Robin through this registration URL, so leave Client ID and Client secret empty.
  3. Name the connector, add a description and a location, and create it.
  4. Use Actions → Reload custom actions to sign in to Robin and choose which Robin actions to turn on.
  5. Connect the data store to the Gemini Enterprise apps or agents that should use Robin.
