Gemini CLI Math MCP Learning Prompt/formula_explainer

How to: Gemini CLI Math MCP Learning formula_explainer

client:Gemini CLI transport:streamable-http prompt:formula_explainer

Add Math MCP Learning to Gemini CLI

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "math-mcp-learning-server": {
      "httpUrl": "https://math-mcp.fastmcp.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.

  2. 03

    formula_explainer is surfaced in the client's prompt or command menu. Unlike a tool, you invoke it deliberately — Gemini CLI will not call it for you.

  3. 04

    If it does not appear, check that Math MCP Learning is connected and that you are looking at its prompts rather than its tools.

Gemini expands $VAR and ${VAR} inside env values, so a secret can live in your shell rather than this file. Gemini CLI docs

Same prompt, other clients

Read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling prompts/list on 24 September 2026. A listing does not declare its prompts, so asking is the only way to know them, and this is what the server actually offers rather than what its listing claims. Names only are stored; connect the server for each prompt's arguments.
