Connect to Gemini CLI

Add ToolRouter to Gemini CLI through the settings file.

How do I add ToolRouter to Gemini CLI?

Add this to your Gemini CLI settings under mcpServers (usually at ~/.gemini/settings.json):

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "toolrouter": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "toolrouter-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

If you already have other MCP servers configured, add the "toolrouter" entry inside the existing "mcpServers" object — don't replace the whole file.

Tools will be available in all Gemini CLI sessions.

No API key needed — your account is created automatically on first use.

Requires Node.js 18+.
