Gemini CLI Shorti shorti_my_field
How to: Gemini CLI Shorti shorti_my_field
Add Shorti to Gemini CLI
-
01
Open ~/.gemini/settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"mcpServers": {
"shorti": {
"httpUrl": "https://shorti.ai/mcp"
}
}
}
-
02
Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.
-
03
Ask for something shorti_my_field does. Gemini CLI lists the server's tools on connect and calls shorti_my_field itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Shorti'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 5 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.
