# Connect SeekOut to Gemini CLI

> Add SeekOut MCP to the Gemini CLI with automatic OAuth discovery and your SeekOut account.

The Gemini CLI connects to SeekOut MCP over Streamable HTTP and discovers the OAuth configuration automatically, so there is no client ID or secret to enter.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Gemini Enterprise and the Antigravity IDE are set up differently. See [Gemini Enterprise](https://docs.seekout.com/mcp/connect/gemini.md) and [Antigravity](https://docs.seekout.com/mcp/connect/antigravity.md).

## Prerequisites

* An active SeekOut account
* The [Gemini CLI](https://google-gemini.github.io/gemini-cli/) installed

## Setup

**1. Add the SeekOut server**

```bash theme={null}
gemini mcp add --transport http --scope user seekout-search https://seekout-search-mcp.seekout.io/tools
```

`--scope user` writes the server to `~/.gemini/settings.json` so it's available everywhere. Use `--scope project` to write it to `.gemini/settings.json` for the current project instead.

You can also edit `~/.gemini/settings.json` directly. Streamable HTTP servers use the `httpUrl` key:

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "seekout-search": {
      "httpUrl": "https://seekout-search-mcp.seekout.io/tools"
    }
  }
}
```

**2. Sign in to SeekOut**

Start the Gemini CLI and run:

```text theme={null}
/mcp auth seekout-search
```

The CLI opens your browser to complete the SeekOut sign-in.

**3. Verify the connection**

```bash theme={null}
gemini mcp list
```

Or run `/mcp` inside the CLI to see the SeekOut tools.

**4. Start using SeekOut MCP**

You can access only the data and actions allowed by your SeekOut role.

## Troubleshooting

### The CLI returns a 401 or prompts repeatedly

Run `/mcp auth seekout-search` and complete the browser sign-in. Restart the CLI afterward so it reloads the server.

### The server connects but has no tools

Check that the entry in `settings.json` uses `httpUrl` rather than `url`. The `url` key is for SSE endpoints and does not work with the SeekOut Streamable HTTP server.

See the [Gemini CLI MCP documentation](https://google-gemini.github.io/gemini-cli/docs/tools/mcp-server.html) for full details.
