Gemini CLI BillionVerify get_account_balance

How to: Gemini CLI BillionVerify get_account_balance

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

Add BillionVerify to Gemini CLI

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "billionverify-mcp": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.billionverify.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that BillionVerify'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

BillionVerify will not start until these are set, so get_account_balance never becomes available.

  • BILLIONVERIFY_API_KEY
  • BILLIONVERIFY_API_URL

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 13 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.
