Requirements: Gemini Enterprise license; connector added by the Google Cloud administrator, with OAuth credentials specific to your organization.
https://quid.newstank.fr/mcp/academic
In Gemini, via your administrator — Gemini Enterprise only (the consumer app only allows it in the US, in English and with a personal Google account):
1. Send the address above to your Google Cloud administrator: they add the server under the name “News Tank Quid+”, as a “Custom MCP Server” (OAuth authorization, Streamable HTTP transport).

2. News Tank Quid+ then appears in Gemini; on first use, sign in with your News Tank account, tick “I accept the News Tank terms of use” if it is shown, then click “Authorize access”.

In Microsoft 365 Copilot, via your administrator (the consumer Copilot does not accept custom connectors):

2. With a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, then connect to it in Copilot under “Settings” → “Sources”, using your News Tank account (your email, then the code you receive or your password), then tick “I accept the News Tank terms of use” if it is shown and click “Authorize access”.
