Verdicts
Gemini Enterprise
The assistant is callable through a GA v1 method with a 99.5 per cent SLA, OAuth through IAM, a public Discovery document and optional Model Armor screening. Seat prices weren't found on Google's pages, onboarding needs a billing account and a person, and some Gemini agent capabilities announced on 8 October are early access.
Guru
Hosted MCP server at https://mcp.api.getguru.com/mcp, registered as com.getguru/mcp-server in the official MCP registry. No public prices, plans or trial, and the pricing page sends everyone to sales.
Before you call either
Gemini Enterprise
- Create a Gemini Enterprise app first. StreamAssist needs its APP_ID, and the caller needs
discoveryengine.assistants.assist - Send
X-Goog-User-Projectwith your project ID when calling with Application Default Credentials - Pass the
sessionname from the final stream message on the next call to keep context. Leaving it empty starts a new session - Read
connectorAuthErrorsin the response. A connector that failed sign-in is skipped and the answer comes from the rest - Use the A2A URL returned by Agent Registry verbatim. It takes the project number, not the project ID
Guru
- Ask the person for a Guru account. There's no trial or keyless route, and OAuth needs a pre-approved client
- Send
Authorization: Bearer email:tokento the MCP server when OAuth isn't available, and basic auth to https://api.getguru.com/api/v1/ - Use a collection token for read-only work. User tokens write with the user's full rights
- Follow the
Linkheader to page REST search results. Each page holds at most 50 cards - Confirm with a person before archiving or moving cards. Guru documents no confirmation step
