Context.dev for Gemini CLI

The official Context.dev extension for Gemini CLI. Give Gemini live web and document context through search, company news, scraping, crawling, structured extraction, document parsing, brand intelligence, screenshots, website monitoring, and large batch jobs.

Install

gemini extensions install https://github.com/context-dot-dev/gemini-cli-context --auto-update --consent

Start a new Gemini CLI session after installation. The first Context.dev request opens a browser for OAuth authentication; no API key needs to be copied into Gemini CLI.

If authentication does not start automatically, run this inside Gemini CLI:

/mcp auth context

Verify the installation

gemini extensions list

Inside Gemini CLI, /mcp should show the context server and its tools. /skills list should include the context-dev skill.

Try it

Use Context.dev to find Stripe's latest official product announcements and cite the source URLs.

Use Context.dev to turn this YouTube video into a timestamped transcript and summarize its main arguments: <youtube-url>

Use Context.dev to extract every pricing plan from https://context.dev/pricing as structured JSON.

Use Context.dev to retrieve the brand profile for linear.app, including its logo, colors, fonts, and social profiles.

Included

• The production Context.dev MCP server at https://mcp.context.dev/mcp

• OAuth 2.1 authentication with dynamic client registration and PKCE

• An on-demand Gemini CLI skill that routes tasks to the smallest suitable Context.dev tool

• Live web search, company news, webpage and YouTube scraping, crawling, extraction, parsing, brand, screenshot, monitor, and batch workflows

Some Context.dev operations consume account credits. Gemini CLI keeps its normal confirmation controls for tool calls, and the extension does not mark the remote server as trusted.

npm ci

npm run validate
npm run test:live
