Tools

Send a prompt to Gemini CLI (defaults to gemini-3.1-pro-preview with automatic Flash fallback on quota errors). Use for code review, second opinions, analysis, and AI-to-AI collaboration. Do not override the model parameter unless the user explicitly asks. Returns both human-readable text and a structured response (provider, model, sessionId, usage) via outputSchema.

Send a code edit request to Gemini CLI and get structured OLD/NEW edit blocks back. Gemini analyzes the files and returns precise, applicable code changes. Use this when you want Gemini to suggest specific code modifications rather than just analysis.

Retrieves cached chunks from a changeMode response. Use this to get subsequent chunks after receiving a partial changeMode response.

Test connectivity with the MCP server

Get the current MCP server's session usage stats: total LLM calls, token totals (input/output/thinking/cached), wall time, and breakdowns per provider and per model. No data leaves your machine — counts are tracked in-memory for the lifetime of the server process. Returns both human-readable markdown and a structured JSON snapshot via outputSchema.

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.
