I also work on the product. You can extend the tools with MCP. https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/docs/t...



Feedback: A command to add MCP servers like claude code offers would be handy.


100% - It's on our list!


>gemini -p "Say hello"

  Says hello, and just returns right away.
The gemini doc for -p says "Prompt. Appended to input on stdin (if any)." So it doesn't follow the doc.

gemini "Say hello"

  Fails as it doesn't take any arguments.
For comparison, claude lets you pass the prompt as a positional argument, but it does append it to the prompt and then gives you a running session. That's what I'd want for my use-case.

I tried to get Gemini CLI to update itself using the MCP settings for Claude. It went off the rails. I then fed it the link you provided and it correctly updates it's settings file. You might mention the settings.json file in the README.
