   ```
   or create a `.env` file in the project root:
   ```
   GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
   ```

## 💎 Key Features

### Unified File Handling

- **Seamless File Processing**: All tools support file inputs via the `file_path` parameter
- **Automatic Format Detection**: Correct handling of various file types with appropriate MIME types
- **Multimodal Support**: Process images, documents, code files, and more

### Intelligent Model Selection

<table>
<tr>
<td width="50%">

GemSuite MCP automatically selects the most appropriate Gemini model based on:

- **Task Type**: Search, reasoning, processing, or analysis
- **Content Type**: Text, code, images, or documents
- **Complexity**: Simple queries vs. complex reasoning
- **User Preferences**: Optional manual overrides

This intelligence ensures optimal performance while minimizing token usage.

## 🖥️ Usage

### In Claude or Other MCP-Compatible Hosts

When using GemSuite MCP with Claude or other MCP-compatible hosts, the tools will be available directly in the assistant's toolkit. Simply call the appropriate tool for your needs:

#### Tool Selection Guide

- **`gem_search`**: For factual questions requiring search integration
- **`gem_reason`**: For complex problems requiring step-by-step reasoning
- **`gem_process`**: For efficient processing of text or files (most token-efficient)
- **`gem_analyze`**: For detailed analysis of files with automatic model selection

## 📚 Usage Examples

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c2fae6de-84e4-4df7-8aab-751626567846)
#### Claude Desktop Using GemSuite Gemini Search to access Google Search

### Processing Files (Most Token-Efficient)

```javascript
// Summarize a large document
const response = await gem_process({
  file_path: "/path/to/your/large_document.pdf",
  operation: "summarize"
});

// Extract specific information
const response = await gem_process({
  file_path: "/path/to/your/report.docx",
  operation: "extract",
  content: "Extract all financial data and metrics from this document."
});
```

### Analyzing Files

```javascript
// Analyze an image
const response = await gem_analyze({
  file_path: "/path/to/your/image.jpg",
  instruction: "Describe what you see in this image in detail."
});

// Analyze code
const response = await gem_analyze({
  file_path: "/path/to/your/code.py",
  instruction: "Identify potential bugs and suggest optimizations."
});
```

### Complex Reasoning

```javascript
// Solve a complex problem with step-by-step reasoning
const response = await gem_reason({
  problem: "Analyze this code and suggest improvements:",
  file_path: "/path/to/your/code.js",
  show_steps: true
});

// Mathematical problem solving
const response = await gem_reason({
  problem: "Solve this differential equation: dy/dx = 2xy with y(0) = 1",
  show_steps: true
});
```

### Searching with Files

```javascript
// Answer questions about a document with search integration
const response = await gem_search({
  query: "What companies are mentioned in this document?",
  file_path: "/path/to/your/document.pdf"
});

// Factual questions with search
const response = await gem_search({
  query: "What are the latest developments in quantum computing?",
  enable_thinking: true
});
```

## 🧠 Model Characteristics

GemSuite MCP leverages three primary Gemini models, intelligently selecting the optimal model for each task:

### Gemini 2.0 Flash
- **1M token context window**: Process extensive content
- **Search integration**: Ground responses in current information
- **Multimodal capabilities**: Handle text, images, and more
- **Balanced performance**: Good mix of quality and speed

### Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite
- **Most cost-efficient**: Minimize token usage
- **Fastest response times**: Ideal for high-volume operations
- **Text-focused**: Optimized for text processing
- **Optimal for efficiency**: When search and reasoning aren't needed

### Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking
- **Enhanced reasoning**: Logical analysis and problem-solving
- **Step-by-step analysis**: Shows reasoning process
- **Specialized capabilities**: Excels at complex calculations
- **Best for depth**: When thorough analysis is necessary

## 🔄 Workflow Examples

### Document Analysis Workflow

```javascript
// 1. Get a high-level summary (most efficient)
const summary = await gem_process({
  file_path: "/path/to/large_document.pdf",
  operation: "summarize"
});

// 2. Extract specific information
const keyPoints = await gem_process({
  file_path: "/path/to/large_document.pdf",
  operation: "extract",
  content: "Extract the key findings and recommendations"
});

// 3. Answer specific questions with search integration
const answers = await gem_search({
  query: "Based on this document, what are the implications for market growth?",
  file_path: "/path/to/large_document.pdf"
});

// 4. Claude synthesizes the processed information
// This approach is dramatically more token-efficient than having
// Claude process the entire document directly
```

### Code Review Workflow

```javascript
// 1. Get code overview
const overview = await gem_analyze({
  file_path: "/path/to/code.js",
  instruction: "Provide an overview of this code's structure and purpose"
});

// 2. Identify potential issues
const issues = await gem_reason({
  problem: "Analyze this code for bugs, security vulnerabilities, and performance issues",
  file_path: "/path/to/code.js",
  show_steps: true
});

// 3. Generate improvements
const improvements = await gem_reason({
  problem: "Suggest specific improvements to make this code more efficient and maintainable",
  file_path: "/path/to/code.js",
  show_steps: true
});

// 4. Claude provides a comprehensive code review synthesis
```

## 🧩 Integration with Other MCP Hosts

GemSuite MCP works with any MCP-compatible host:

- **Claude Desktop**: Seamless integration with Claude's powerful reasoning capabilities
- **Cursor IDE**: Enhanced coding assistance with Gemini's capabilities
- **Replit**: Code generation and analysis directly in your development environment
- **Other MCP Hosts**: Compatible with any platform implementing the MCP standard

## 🛠️ Advanced Configuration

### Custom Model Selection

You can override the automatic model selection by specifying the `model_id` parameter:

```javascript
// Force the use of Gemini Flash Thinking for a processing task
const response = await gem_process({
  file_path: "/path/to/document.pdf",
  operation: "analyze",
  model_id: "models/gemini-2.0-flash-thinking"
});
```
