Gemini CLI Pillwise search_medications

How to: Gemini CLI Pillwise search_medications

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

Add Pillwise to Gemini CLI

01
Open ~/.gemini/settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pillwise": {
      "httpUrl": "https://api.pillwise.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

02
Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.
03
Ask for something search_medications does. Gemini CLI lists the server's tools on connect and calls search_medications itself — you do not invoke it by name.
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Pillwise'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 17 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.
