# Connect Gemini CLI

> Add Manifold to Gemini CLI and give it search, AI answer, social, ads and people tools.

Run this, then /mcp auth manifold to sign in.

Run this in a terminal:

```sh
gemini mcp add --transport http manifold https://mcp.manifoldmcp.com/mcp
```

## Steps

1. Run the command above.
2. Start Gemini CLI and run `/mcp auth manifold`. Sign in in the browser.
3. Run `/mcp` to see the tools, then ask a question.

## In settings.json

The command writes the server to your Gemini CLI settings. By hand, in `~/.gemini/settings.json`:

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