How was your experience using Gemini via Zen? I’ve instead used a Gemini via plain ol’ chat, first building a competitive, larger context than Claude can hold then manually bringing detailed plans and patches to Gemini for feedback with excellent results. I presumed mcp wouldn’t give me the focused results I get from completely controlling Gemini. And that making CC interface via the MCP would also use up context on that side.
