How to: Gemini CLI Cobalt Intelligence MCP by usefulapi cobaltintelligence_list_states

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

Add Cobalt Intelligence MCP by usefulapi to Gemini CLI

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cobalt-intelligence": {
      "httpUrl": "https://cobalt-intelligence.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Cobalt Intelligence MCP by usefulapi'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

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 8 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.
