After saving, all MCP Servers will be automatically mounted the next time you start gemini.

Step 3: Try It Out

After configuration, restart the editor / CLI to reload the MCP Servers. You can then use it like this:

Example 1 (Generate a hero image after completing a demo project):

Use Seedream to generate a display image for "Gemini CLI Developer Tool," in a flat illustration style with a bright background.

Example 2 (Search Google resources):

Use Serp's google_search to find the top 3 GitHub projects for "Gemini CLI extensions."

Example 3 (Generate a product demo video):

Generate a 5-second video with Veo: a robotic cat coding in front of a computer, with the screen displaying the word "gemini," 1080p.

Billing and Quotas

  • Pay-per-use, no charges if not called, no monthly fees, no minimum consumption.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I connect to only a few MCP Servers?
A: Of course, just add the configurations as needed, and do not add those that are not used.

Q: Is there a cheaper way to connect?
A: Directly calling the REST API is cheaper than MCP (one less layer of encapsulation), but you lose the convenience of MCP in LLM tool calls.

Q: What about overseas/cross-border latency issues?
A: All MCP Servers are deployed in Hong Kong, providing stable global access; direct connection from mainland China does not require a proxy.

Q: Is self-hosting supported?
A: All MCP Servers are open source on GitHub and can be deployed by yourself.
