Set up Gemini CLI

Add Charming to Gemini CLI with one command.

Charming works with Gemini CLI. The consumer Gemini web and mobile apps do not support custom MCP servers.

Add Charming

Run this command:

gemini mcp add --transport http charming https://charm.ing/mcp

Start Gemini CLI, then run:

/mcp auth charming

Approve access in the browser.

Ask Gemini CLI:

Use Charming to list my apps.

Finished apps open at their Charming URL.

You can also add the same server in ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "charming": {
      "httpUrl": "https://charm.ing/mcp"
    }
  }
}
