Gemini CLI model.tools — Zero-Auth Agent Utilities read_webpage_as_markdown
How to: Gemini CLI model.tools — Zero-Auth Agent Utilities read_webpage_as_markdown
Add model.tools — Zero-Auth Agent Utilities to Gemini CLI
-
01
Open ~/.gemini/settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"mcpServers": {
"model-tools-mcp": {
"httpUrl": "https://mcp.model.tools/mcp"
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.
-
03
Ask for something read_webpage_as_markdown does. Gemini CLI lists the server's tools on connect and calls read_webpage_as_markdown itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that model.tools — Zero-Auth Agent Utilities'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 29 October 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.
