Gemini MCP Server

# Gemini CLI Setup > **Note**: While Zen MCP Server connects successfully to Gemini CLI, tool invocation is not working > correctly yet. We'll update this guide once the integration is fully functional. This guide explains how to configure Zen MCP Server to work with [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli). ## Prerequisites - Zen MCP Server installed and configured - Gemini CLI installed - At least one API key configured in your `.env` file ## Configuration 1. Edit `~/.gemini/settings.json` and add: ```json { "mcpServers": { "zen": { "command": "/path/to/zen-mcp-server/zen-mcp-server" } } } ``` 2. Replace `/path/to/zen-mcp-server` with your actual Zen installation path. 3. If the `zen-mcp-server` wrapper script doesn't exist, create it: ```bash #!/bin/bash DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)" cd "$DIR" exec .zen_venv/bin/python server.py "$@" ``` Then make it executable: `chmod +x zen-mcp-server` 4. Restart Gemini CLI. All 15 Zen tools are now available in your Gemini CLI session.
