Gemini CLI OfficeGest MCP by usefulapi officegest_search_articles
How to: Gemini CLI OfficeGest MCP by usefulapi officegest_search_articles
Add OfficeGest MCP by usefulapi to Gemini CLI
-
01
Open ~/.gemini/settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"mcpServers": {
"officegest": {
"httpUrl": "https://officegest.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.
-
03
Ask for something officegest_search_articles does. Gemini CLI lists the server's tools on connect and calls officegest_search_articles itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that OfficeGest 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 10 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.
