Gemini CLI Random Number Generator random_int

How to: Gemini CLI Random Number Generator random_int

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

Add Random Number Generator to Gemini CLI

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "random-number-generator": {
      "httpUrl": "https://apished.com/mcp/v1/random"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Random Number Generator'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.
