Gemini CLI Ulid parse_ulid

How to: Gemini CLI Ulid parse_ulid

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

Add Ulid to Gemini CLI

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ulid": {
      "httpUrl": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/ulid/mcp"
    }
  }
}

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

Ulid will not start until these are set, so parse_ulid never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 14 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.
