Overview

What is Ask Gemini Mcp?

Ask Gemini Mcp is an MCP server that connects any MCP-compatible AI client (e.g., Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Copilot) to the Google Gemini CLI. It enables AI-to-AI collaboration by letting your primary agent send prompts to Gemini, leveraging Gemini’s massive 1M+ token context window for large file and codebase analysis. This server is for developers and AI users who want a second opinion, architecture debates, or deep code review from Gemini while their main AI handles interaction and editing.

How to use Ask Gemini Mcp?

Install via npx -y ask-gemini-mcp and configure it as an MCP tool in your client’s settings. For Claude Code, run claude mcp add gemini-cli -- npx -y ask-gemini-mcp. For other clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex CLI, OpenCode, any STDIO client), add a gemini-cli entry using the same npx command in the appropriate config file. Prerequisites: Node.js v20.0.0+ and the Google Gemini CLI installed and authenticated. Then invoke tools like ask-gemini by instructing your AI to ask Gemini via the MCP.
