Google Gemini Spark adds custom MCP and automation

In its June 2026 update, Google Gemini Spark allows users to connect custom applications and data sources via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It also introduces support for running recurring automated tasks, enhancing user workflow automation.

// ANALYSIS

Google's integration of the open-standard Model Context Protocol is a significant step toward unifying the AI assistant ecosystem.

–Custom MCP support opens the door for developers to easily feed local or proprietary context into Gemini without custom API wrappers.
–The addition of recurring automated tasks signals a move from passive chat assistants to proactive agentic workflows.
–Standardizing on MCP positions Google favorably against closed ecosystem alternatives.
