Gemini CLI Privi Call call_directory

How to: Gemini CLI Privi Call call_directory

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

Add Privi Call to Gemini CLI

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "privi-call": {
      "httpUrl": "https://privi-call.onrender.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

02
Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.
03
Ask for something call_directory does. Gemini CLI lists the server's tools on connect and calls call_directory itself — you do not invoke it by name.
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Privi Call'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 22 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.
