Ask Gemini MCP

Ask Gemini MCP

An MCP server for AI-to-AI collaboration via the Gemini CLI. Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Warp, Copilot, and 40+ other MCP clients. Leverage Gemini's massive 1M+ token context window for large file and codebase analysis while your primary AI handles interaction and code editing.

Why?

• Get a second opinion — Ask Gemini to review your coding approach before committing to it
• Debate plans — Send architecture proposals to Gemini for critique and alternative suggestions
• Review changes — Have Gemini analyze diffs or modified files to catch issues your primary AI might miss
• Massive context — Gemini reads entire codebases (1M+ tokens) that would overflow other models

Quick Start

Claude Code

claude mcp add gemini-cli -- npx -y ask-gemini-mcp
