Which surfaces does this work on?

In Le Chat's Connectors, available in your conversations. For organizations, admins can control connector availability with on-behalf authentication.

If I connect FamilySearch API to Gemini, can I use the same connection in Claude or ChatGPT later?

Yes, and that's the point: the connection is yours, not Gemini's. You paste the same link in any AI you use, and there's nothing new to set up or pay again. Connect a new AI and FamilySearch API is already there.

Do I need to hand my FamilySearch API password to Gemini?

Never. You sign in once at Vinkius, and we keep your logins encrypted and away from your AI. Gemini only ever sees the link, and you can remove it whenever you want.

What can I actually ask Gemini to do with FamilySearch API?

Whatever the Connector covers: check data, run actions and bring answers back. The Connector page lists every capability your AI gains, with real examples you can copy.

Gemini doesn't show the Connector. What do I check?

Reopen the Connectors page and confirm the connector is authorized, confirm the link was pasted exactly as copied, and confirm the Connector is active in your Vinkius account. A deactivated Connector stops responding.

Can I remove the access later?

Remove the connector from your Connectors and it's out of your conversations. Your Vinkius account keeps the connection and its history either way, ready for the next AI.

Le Chat + FamilySearch API

One chat. Your FamilySearch API, live inside Le Chat.

Real prompts, answered with live data. This is the kind of session you will have in Le Chat once the link is in.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

These prompts ship with the FamilySearch API Connector. Once yours is connected, they work in your sessions.

The full capability set, the prompts and the observed latency live on the FamilySearch API Connector page.

Mission Control

See everything your Le Chat agents do in FamilySearch API.

When Le Chat runs a tool in FamilySearch API, it happens in your editor: you see the result, but not the request itself, what data it carried, or whether a rule was broken.

Now every move lands on your screen.

Every execution is recorded, enforced, and shown to you: what ran, what it returned, what was blocked, and why.

Request Volume & Latency

requests latency

Every request your Le Chat agents make through FamilySearch API is logged, enforced and auditable. See how AI Governance turns agent activity into accountability, and what it means for your FamilySearch API workflows.

What sets us apart

It's not just the Connector that stays safe. Everything your agents do through it is.

Connecting FamilySearch API to your AI is step one. But an open line between your agents and FamilySearch API is only half the story: without protection, every action they take runs unguarded.

That's why protection doesn't stop at the door.

Every action your agents take through the Connector runs inside our infrastructure: signed activity logs, automatic key rotation, spending limits that pause instead of surprise, and a sandbox that isolates every execution.

Tamper Proof Activity Log

Every request your agents make in FamilySearch API is recorded and signed, so any change to the history becomes detectable.

Automatic Key Rotation

We rotate security keys every 24 hours. Your FamilySearch API connection stays protected without any manual work.

Spending Protection

We enforce the spending limit you choose and pause actions that exceed it until approval is received. Your FamilySearch API actions never surprise you.

Isolated Sandbox

Every execution through FamilySearch API runs isolated, with 34+ security rules covering memory, CPU, network access, file handling and execution.

Security Event Streaming

Security events flow to Splunk, Datadog or your own webhook, so FamilySearch API activity lands in the tools you already rely on.

Instant Resume

Idle connections resume in 3 to 5 ms while preserving their state, keeping your Le Chat sessions responsive.

Malicious File Protection

We detect compressed files designed to exhaust system resources and block them before they ever reach FamilySearch API.

Credential Validation

We test your FamilySearch API credentials before saving them. Invalid credentials are rejected instead of being stored.

Separate Usage Limits

Usage stays isolated per account, so activity in one connection never consumes another account's allowance.

One Connector, one link, and the whole operation is protected. Not just the connection: everything your agents do through it.

These guarantees are not add-ons: they are the infrastructure every FamilySearch API connection runs on. Read how our infrastructure protects everything your Le Chat agents do, end to end.
