Gemini CLI MCPDomain transfer_existing_domain

How to: Gemini CLI MCPDomain transfer_existing_domain

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

Add MCPDomain to Gemini CLI

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpdomain": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcpdomain.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

MCPDomain will not start until these are set, so transfer_existing_domain never becomes available.

  • OPENSRS_MODE
  • OPENSRS_USERNAME
  • OPENSRS_KEY

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.
