Gemini CLI humanMCP — kapoost read_collection_item

How to: Gemini CLI humanMCP — kapoost read_collection_item

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

Add humanMCP — kapoost to Gemini CLI

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "humanmcp": {
      "httpUrl": "https://kapoost.humanmcp.net/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that humanMCP — kapoost'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 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.
