Overview

Gemini MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server implementation that enables Claude Desktop to interact seamlessly with Google's Gemini AI models.

To use the Gemini MCP Server, acquire an API key from Google AI Studio, configure your Claude Desktop settings with the server parameters, and then restart Claude Desktop to enable the interaction with Gemini models.

  • Full MCP protocol support - Real-time response streaming - Secure handling of API keys - Configurable model parameters - Written in TypeScript for performance and maintainability
  1. Connecting Claude Desktop to Gemini AI for enhanced AI interactions
  2. Utilizing advanced AI models for various applications like chatbots and virtual assistants
  3. Developing and testing applications that leverage real-time AI responses

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect Gemini MCP Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-gemini-aliargun": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-gemini-aliargun"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-gemini-aliargun": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-gemini-aliargun"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-gemini-aliargun": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-gemini-aliargun"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-server-gemini-aliargun": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-gemini-aliargun"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-gemini-aliargun": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-gemini-aliargun"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-gemini-aliargun": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-gemini-aliargun"
      ]
    }
  }
}
