Gemini CLI

About 1 minute

Glesso has not checked this client yet

  1. Add Glesso to ~/.gemini/settings.json (httpUrl is Gemini's Streamable HTTP setting):

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "glesso": {
          "httpUrl": "https://mcp.glesso.com/mcp"
        }
      }
    }
  2. Start gemini and sign in. Your browser opens Glesso: check the account and click Allow.

    /mcp auth glesso

If it doesn't work

  • Run /mcp list to see each server's status. Gemini CLI doesn't show MCP errors on its own.
  • Sign-in needs a browser on the same machine. Over SSH or in a container, use an API key: add "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer mmk_your_key" } to the glesso entry.
  • Keep underscores out of the server name.
  • Sign-in fails with invalid_client? Remove the server from the app and add it again.

Create an account and connect a service first. Onboarding then shows this guide beside a live check that turns green at your app's first tool call.
