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