Gemini CLI oxylabs mcp universal_scraper

How to: Gemini CLI oxylabs mcp universal_scraper

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

Add oxylabs mcp to Gemini CLI

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oxylabs-mcp": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.oxylabs.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

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

oxylabs mcp will not start until these are set, so universal_scraper never becomes available.

OXYLABS_AI_STUDIO_API_KEY

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.
