Overview
Expert skill for connecting and managing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers within the Gemini CLI ecosystem.
When to Use This Skill
Keywords: MCP, model context protocol, mcp servers, mcp config, gemini mcp, stdio transport, sse transport, mcp tool permissions, mcp debugging
Use this skill when:
- Adding new MCP servers via
settings.jsonor CLI (gemini mcp add) - Configuring transports:
httpUrl,url(SSE), orcommand(Stdio) - Troubleshooting MCP connection states (
CONNECTING,DISCONNECTED) - Managing MCP tool permissions (Trust vs Ask)
- Integrating local scripts as MCP servers
MCP Server Configuration
MCP servers are defined in the mcpServers object in settings.json.
Transport Types
-
Stdio (
command): Runs a local executable. Best for local scripts/tools."local-server": { "command": "node", "args": ["server.js"] } -
HTTP (
httpUrl): Connects via standard HTTP. -
SSE (
url): Server-Sent Events for streaming updates.
Keyword Registry (Delegates to gemini-cli-docs)
| Topic | Query Keywords |
| :--- | :--- |
| Adding Servers | gemini mcp add command, mcpServers settings |
| Transports | mcp transport types, stdio vs sse mcp |
| Permissions | mcp tool permissions, trust mcp server |
| Troubleshooting | mcp connection error, debug mcp server |
Quick Decision Tree
What do you want to do?
- Connect a Local Tool -> Query
gemini-cli-docs: "configure stdio mcp server" - Connect a Remote API -> Query
gemini-cli-docs: "configure http mcp server" - Trust a Server -> Query
gemini-cli-docs: "mcp server trust settings" - List Tools -> Query
gemini-cli-docs: "list mcp tools command" - Debug Connection -> Query
gemini-cli-docs: "troubleshoot mcp connection"
Common Commands
gemini mcp add- Interactive wizard to add a server./mcp- List connected servers and their status.gemini --debug- View raw MCP connection logs (essential for troubleshooting connection issues).
Test Scenarios
Scenario 1: Add MCP Server
Query: "How do I add an MCP server to Gemini CLI?" Expected Behavior:
- Skill activates on "MCP" or "mcp servers"
- Delegates to gemini-cli-docs for configuration Success Criteria: User receives mcpServers settings.json structure
Scenario 2: Configure Transport
Query: "What transport should I use for my MCP server?" Expected Behavior:
- Skill activates on "mcp transport"
- Provides comparison of stdio, HTTP, SSE Success Criteria: User receives transport selection guidance
Scenario 3: Debug Connection
Query: "My MCP server isn't connecting to Gemini" Expected Behavior:
- Skill activates on "mcp connection error"
- Provides debugging steps with --debug flag Success Criteria: User receives troubleshooting workflow
