Gemini CLI Date Math date_info

How to: Gemini CLI Date Math date_info

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

Add Date Math to Gemini CLI

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "date-math": {
      "httpUrl": "https://date-math.datemath.workers.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

Date Math will not start until these are set, so date_info never becomes available.

  • DATE_MATH_PRIVATE_KEY
  • DATE_MATH_MAX_PRICE

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 7 November 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.
