## 🔐 How to Connect Your Free Personal Google Account

Because official Gemini APIs can be used with generic MCPs, the magic of this project is that it uses your **personal email and browser session**. Here is how to connect it in 3 easy steps:

1. Go to [gemini.google.com](https://gemini.google.com/) in your regular web browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.) and log in to your personal account.
2. Open your browser's Developer Tools (Press `F12` or `Cmd+Option+I`) -> **Application** tab -> **Cookies** section -> click on `https://gemini.google.com`.
3. Find the cookie named **`__Secure-1PSID`** and copy its value.
4. Inside your AI client, just tell the AI: 
   > *"Run the `configure_google_login` tool and use `YOUR_COOKIE_VALUE` as the secure1psid."*

That's it! You can now generate images for free.

*(Note: If you also want to use OpenAI DALL-E 3, you can dynamically provide your API key by asking the AI to run the `configure_openai_api_key` tool).*

## 🌐 How to Use with ChatGPT Web (Custom GPTs)

Want to use your free Gemini image generation directly inside ChatGPT on the web? This repo includes a built-in Express server and an `openapi.json` schema precisely for Custom GPT Actions.

### 1. Start the HTTP Bridge
Open your terminal in the project folder and start the REST server:
```bash
npm run serve-http
```
In a **new terminal tab**, expose the server to the internet using Ngrok (or Cloudflare):
```bash
ngrok http 3333
```
*Copy the `https://...` URL that Ngrok generates.*

### 2. Create the Custom GPT in ChatGPT
1. Go to **ChatGPT** -> Click your profile -> **My GPTs** -> **Create a GPT**.
2. Click the **Configure** tab.
3. Scroll down to the bottom and click **"Create new action"**.
4. In the **Schema** box, paste the entire contents of the `openapi.json` file from this repository.
5. In the Schema you pasted, find `https://YOUR_NGROK_URL_HERE` and replace it with your actual Ngrok URL.
6. Save and publish your Custom GPT!

### 3. Authenticate & Generate
In your new Custom GPT chat, simply tell ChatGPT:
> *"Configure my Google login using this cookie: [PASTE YOUR __Secure-1PSID COOKIE HERE]"*

ChatGPT will securely send the cookie to your local server. Once configured, you can just ask it naturally:
> *"Generate an image of a futuristic cyberpunk city."*

ChatGPT will route the request through your machine directly to Gemini using your personal account, completely free!
