Gemini CLI Root Data Public Directory root_data_faq

How to: Gemini CLI Root Data Public Directory root_data_faq

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

Add Root Data Public Directory to Gemini CLI

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "public-directory": {
      "httpUrl": "https://rootdata.ai/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Root Data Public Directory'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 24 September 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.
