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+.
