Gemini CLI SeedBase Test Data fetch_generation

How to: Gemini CLI SeedBase Test Data fetch_generation

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

Add SeedBase Test Data to Gemini CLI

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "seedbase": {
      "httpUrl": "https://seedba.se/mcp"
    }
  }
}

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

SeedBase Test Data will not start until these are set, so fetch_generation never becomes available.

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.
