Gemini CLI Design Lounge Resource/reference.md

How to: Gemini CLI Design Lounge reference.md

client:Gemini CLI transport:streamable-http resource:reference.md

Add Design Lounge to Gemini CLI

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "design-lounge": {
      "httpUrl": "https://www.designlounge.live/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.

  2. 03

    reference.md is surfaced wherever your client lets you attach context. It is context to attach, not an action to run.

  3. 04

    If it does not appear, check that Design Lounge is connected and that you are looking at its resources rather than its tools.

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

Design Lounge will not start until these are set, so it never reaches Gemini CLI.

  • DESIGN_LOUNGE_SKILL_INSTALL
  • DESIGN_LOUNGE_HISTORY

Same resource, other clients

Read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling resources/list on 14 November 2026. A listing does not declare its resources, so asking is the only way to know them, and this is what the server actually offers rather than what its listing claims. Names only are stored; connect the server for each resource's type and contents.
