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

  1. Create a Gemini Enterprise app first. StreamAssist needs its APP_ID, and the caller needs discoveryengine.assistants.assist
  2. Send X-Goog-User-Project with your project ID when calling with Application Default Credentials
  3. Pass the session name from the final stream message on the next call to keep context. Leaving it empty starts a new session
  4. Read connectorAuthErrors in the response. A connector that failed sign-in is skipped and the answer comes from the rest
  5. Use the A2A URL returned by Agent Registry verbatim. It takes the project number, not the project ID

Guru

  1. Ask the person for a Guru account. There's no trial or keyless route, and OAuth needs a pre-approved client
  2. Send Authorization: Bearer email:token to the MCP server when OAuth isn't available, and basic auth to https://api.getguru.com/api/v1/
  3. Use a collection token for read-only work. User tokens write with the user's full rights
  4. Follow the Link header to page REST search results. Each page holds at most 50 cards
  5. Confirm with a person before archiving or moving cards. Guru documents no confirmation step
