Gemini CLI pg aiguide view_skill

How to: Gemini CLI pg aiguide view_skill

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

Add pg aiguide to Gemini CLI

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pg-aiguide": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.tigerdata.com/docs"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that pg aiguide'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

pg aiguide will not start until these are set, so view_skill never becomes available.

  • OPENAI_API_KEY
  • PGHOST
  • PGPORT
  • PGUSER
  • PGPASSWORD
  • PGDATABASE
  • DB_SCHEMA

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.
