Install in Gemini CLI

Gemini CLI reads MCP server configuration from its settings file.

Config

~/.gemini/settings.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hoist": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.assets.hoistai.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Steps

1. Install Gemini CLI using the vendor instructions for your environment.
2. Edit ~/.gemini/settings.json.
3. Add the Hoist MCP block.
4. Restart the CLI session.
5. Run /mcp auth hoist if OAuth does not start automatically, then approve the requested scopes.

Smoke test

Ask: “Use Hoist to check whether ABN 11695718659 is active.” Gemini CLI should call abn_lookup.

Troubleshooting

• If tools do not appear, run /mcp list and restart the CLI session.
• If OAuth does not open, run /mcp auth hoist and check browser launch permissions.
• If calls return 403, run /mcp auth hoist again because the cached grant may have expired or been revoked.
