Connect Gemini, Grok and OpenCode to Winskel

Short answer

Gemini uses a custom app under Connectors, and OpenCode uses an entry in its settings file. Both use the public Winskel server URL and let you approve a Space. Grok is pending while its sign-in flow is being verified.

Set up Gemini

  1. Copy https://space.winskel.com/api/mcp.
  2. Open Gemini Connectors in your browser.
  3. Click + Custom or Add a custom app. Paste the URL and click Next.
  4. Use automatic registration. Leave Client ID and secret blank.
  5. If the Winskel approval opens, check your email, pick your Space, and click Approve connection.
  6. Open a Gemini chat. Type @, select Winskel Space, then ask “Use Winskel to find my Space.”

Reconnect Gemini

In Gemini's Custom apps, open Winskel Space. If it is installed, use Connect when prompted. To start a new approval, choose More details, disconnect there, then connect again.

If Winskel Space is missing from Custom apps, choose + Custom again and paste https://space.winskel.com/api/mcp. If the custom app option is missing, check Google's account requirements.

Connect OpenCode

For the settings file location on your system, see OpenCode's MCP guide.

  1. In the OpenCode 2 desktop app, open Preferences → Extensions → MCPs and choose Manage in opencode.json. Merge the example below into your settings file and keep your other servers.
  2. Return to MCPs, find winskel, and choose Sign in. You can also open the MCP list with /mcps. Approve the Space you want to use.
  3. Pick DeepSeek or another model in OpenCode and ask it to find your Space. OpenCode manages your model access.
{ "mcp": { "servers": { "winskel": { "type": "remote", "url": "https://space.winskel.com/api/mcp", "codemode": false } } } }

Grok setup preview

Winskel sign-in from Grok is pending. Grok's custom connector form is available, but the Winskel approval flow has yet to pass verification. A public Winskel listing is unavailable in Grok.

Choose a setup path and test it on its own

With Gemini, start by checking whether your current Google account shows the custom app control. If it does, follow the Gemini steps and confirm the separate Winskel account on the approval page. If you already added Winskel, look in Custom apps before creating a duplicate. Use the exact server URL above if you need to add it again.

For OpenCode, preserve your other settings. Add the Winskel entry to the configuration used by your active app or terminal, reopen the MCP list and confirm it appears before troubleshooting sign-in. Model access is a separate choice in OpenCode. A working model can still be missing the Winskel connection.

For Grok, use another eligible connected app for work that needs to move today. The custom connector screen and an approved Winskel connection are different states. If you try the setup preview and it stops before approval, record the exact step and error for support.

Verify the connection before sharing work

Open the Space in your browser first. Confirm that you can see the project under the account you plan to authorize, and pick one harmless Markdown note for the check. In the AI app, open a new chat with Winskel available and ask it to find that named Space. Then ask it to read the note and tell you which version it used. Compare the answer with the Files panel.

Treat a successful sign-in and a successful read as separate checks. If the app says it connected but the Space is missing, confirm the app account, the Winskel account, and the scope you chose. Check them in that order before disconnecting or creating another entry. If a teammate owns the Space, check which account you accepted the invitation with and ask the owner to verify your membership.

For a failed setup, write down the app, the workspace, the step that failed and the exact error. Use the Space connection playbook to match the step. Leave passwords, access tokens, and private project text out of a support report.
