Gemini CLI bitHuman talk_to_character

How to: Gemini CLI bitHuman talk_to_character

client:Gemini CLI transport:streamable-http tool:talk_to_character

Add bitHuman to Gemini CLI

  1. 01

    Open ~/.gemini/settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "characters": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.bithuman.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.

  2. 03

    Ask for something talk_to_character does. Gemini CLI lists the server's tools on connect and calls talk_to_character itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that bitHuman's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Gemini expands $VAR and ${VAR} inside env values, so a secret can live in your shell rather than this file. Gemini CLI docs

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 8 October 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
