[![PR to Hermes Agent](https://img.shields.io/badge/PR-Hermes%20Agent-%23NouResearch?label=PR)](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/22878)

A lightweight [FastMCP](https://gofastmcp.com) server that wraps Google's [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli) as MCP tools. Works with any MCP client — Hermes Agent, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.

## Prerequisites

- **Node.js** — for the Gemini CLI
- **Python 3.11+** — for the MCP server
- **Gemini CLI** — installed and authenticated

```bash
npm install -g @google/gemini-cli
gemini --version          # Verify install
gemini                    # Run once to complete OAuth login
```

## Installation

```bash
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/jxsprt/gemini-mcp-server.git
cd gemini-mcp-server

# Create venv and install deps
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Configuration

Add to your MCP client's config:

### Hermes Agent (`~/.hermes/config.yaml`)

```yaml
mcp_servers:
  gemini-cli:
    command: "/path/to/gemini-mcp-server/.venv/bin/python3"
    args: ["/path/to/gemini-mcp-server/server.py"]
    timeout: 240
```

Restart your Hermes gateway. Tools will be available as `mcp_gemini_cli_*`.

### Claude Desktop (`claude_desktop_config.json`)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gemini-cli": {
      "command": "/path/to/gemini-mcp-server/.venv/bin/python3",
      "args": ["/path/to/gemini-mcp-server/server.py"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Claude Code

```bash
fastmcp install claude-code /path/to/gemini-mcp-server/server.py
```

### Cursor

```bash
fastmcp install cursor /…
