# Gemini CLI

> Remote MCP setup documented for technical users. Not yet verified with Get MCP Ads.

[Guides](https://www.getmcpads.com/guides)

## For you

> **Warning** Pilot status: Gemini Enterprise sign-in, account discovery and a real Reddit campaign read passed on 28 September 2026. Tool selection still needs refinement. Advertising writes, refresh, revocation and the complete Google Chat workflow remain under validation.

Gemini on gemini.google.com with a Workspace account does not currently support this custom MCP connection. For a conversation directly in Gemini, use Gemini Enterprise on Google Cloud. Google Chat is a separate option.

## Capabilities and boundaries

- Reports, campaign management, saved reviews, alerts and Sheets exports use the same authorized Get MCP Ads tools. Availability still depends on plan, account selection, workspace permissions and provider support.
- Native alerts and export schedules run on Get MCP Ads after the chat closes.
- Embedded Claude/ChatGPT MCP Apps are not verified in Google. Use conversational summaries and the dashboard for visual media selection, account setup and uploads.
- Keep each client workspace explicit. Review the exact account, campaign, budget, settings and revision before approving a change. A timeout is not permission to repeat an uncertain write.

Technical-user route; not a substitute for the agency’s everyday Workspace interface. These instructions follow Gemini CLI documentation but have not yet been exercised end to end against Get MCP Ads.

~/.gemini/settings.json: merge with existing settings

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "get-mcp-ads": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.getmcpads.com/mcp",
      "oauth": {
        "enabled": true
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Restart Gemini CLI, inspect /mcp and use its OAuth authentication flow for get-mcp-ads. Approve only the intended accounts. Keep tool confirmations enabled. Check list_accounts before reading a report.

## For your agent

Do not auto-install. This pilot requires administrator setup. Gemini Enterprise authorization and account/Reddit reads have been verified in our organization only; establish this user’s connection before claiming access. Do not imply all workflows are verified. Never paste secrets into chat. Preserve per-user permissions and wait for OAuth consent.
