MCP server for Gemini CLI integration
Gemini MCP Tool becomes available to MCP clients through the gemini mcp tool mcp server. MCP server for Gemini CLI integration.
This is a simple Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows AI assistants to interact with the Gemini CLI. It enables the AI to leverage the power of Gemini's massive token window for large analysis, especially with large files and codebases using the @ syntax for direction.
The server is distributed via npm as gemini-mcp-tool, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
The server reads one environment variable: AGY_CLI_PATH. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Gemini MCP Tool sits in that group. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
