In settings.json

The command adds the server to the current project's .gemini/settings.json. To add it to every project, add --scope user, which writes to ~/.gemini/settings.json. By hand, the entry looks like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "manifold": { "httpUrl": "https://mcp.manifoldmcp.com/mcp" }
  }
}
