Set Up Gemini CLI with Adzviser

Step 1: Install Gemini CLI

Open your terminal and install Gemini CLI globally using npm:

npm install -g @google/gemini-cli

Or if you prefer using npx without installing globally:

npx @google/gemini-cli

Step 2: Authenticate with Google

Run Gemini CLI for the first time to authenticate with your Google account:

gemini

When asked "How would you like to authenticate for this project?" select 1. Login with Google, then follow the browser prompts to sign in.

Step 3: Configure Adzviser MCP Server

Create or edit the Gemini CLI settings file to add Adzviser as an MCP server. The settings file is located at ~/.gemini/settings.json.

Add the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adzviser": {
      "url": "https://mcp.adzviser.com/html"
    }
  }
}

Step 4: Start Gemini CLI

Launch Gemini CLI:

gemini

Step 5: Complete OAuth with Adzviser

To authenticate with Adzviser, run the following command in Gemini CLI:

/mcp auth adzviser

This will start the OAuth flow. You'll be given a URL to open in your browser:

1. Open the authentication URL in your browser
2. Log in to your Adzviser account (or create one if you don't have one)
3. Grant Gemini CLI access to your connected data sources
4. Return to your terminal—authentication will complete automatically

Step 6: Verify Connection

Test that Adzviser is connected by asking Gemini about your data:

What workspaces have I created in Adzviser?

Gemini should respond with a list of your workspaces.
