Gemini CLI Power Strip Security audit_mcp_server

How to: Gemini CLI Power Strip Security audit_mcp_server

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

Add Power Strip Security to Gemini CLI

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "power-strip-security": {
      "httpUrl": "https://api.powerstripsecurity.workers.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

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

Set these first

Power Strip Security will not start until these are set, so audit_mcp_server never becomes available.

PSS_PRIVATE_KEY
PSS_MAX_SPEND_USD

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 11 November 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.
