## AIMEAT Integration Recommendations

### 🖥️ Apps (Prompt Package)
**Available on: All plans (Free and Advanced)**

Gemini can generate complete HTML applications with AIMEAT integration. The free plan (Gemini Flash) is surprisingly capable for code generation.

**Prompt:** Copy the AIMEAT Application Builder prompt into Gemini. It will interview you and generate a complete .html file. With Gemini Advanced's Canvas, you can edit the generated code interactively.

### 🔌 MCP
**Not available in Gemini Chat web interface**

Gemini Chat does not have a native MCP connector UI. Use Gemini models via:
- **Gemini CLI** — Install Gemini CLI, add MCP extension for AIMEAT
- **VS Code** — Select Gemini as model in Copilot, use MCP servers
- **Google ADK** — Use McpToolset for programmatic AIMEAT MCP integration
- **Cursor** — Add Gemini API as model provider with MCP enabled

### 📡 API
**Available on: All plans (Gemini can browse URLs)**

Gemini (Advanced) can browse URLs directly. Paste the AIMEAT public endpoints:
- Catalogue: `{NODE_URL}/v1/catalogue`
- Node info: `{NODE_URL}/`
- Discovery: `{NODE_URL}/.well-known/aimeat`

Gemini can read and analyze the data. For full API access, copy the API integration prompt — Gemini will generate the code to run locally.

**Developer path:** Use Gemini API's function calling to build AIMEAT applications. The generous free tier makes it ideal for development and testing.
