  • Google Gemini API key (Get one free)
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RaiAnsar/claude_code-gemini-mcp/main/install.sh | bash
  1. Clone this repo:
git clone https://github.com/RaiAnsar/claude_code-gemini-mcp.git cd claude_code-gemini-mcp
  1. Run setup with your API key:
./setup.sh YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY

That's it! 🎉

Start Claude Code anywhere and use these commands:

claude # Ask Gemini anything mcp__gemini-collab__ask_gemini prompt: "Explain quantum computing in simple terms" # Get code reviews mcp__gemini-collab__gemini_code_review code: "def auth(u): return u.pwd == 'admin'" focus: "security" # Brainstorm ideas mcp__gemini-collab__gemini_brainstorm topic: "How to scale a web app to 1M users" Or simply ask claude code to correlate with Gemini, it is not a rocket sciene... (Author's note)
  1. Installs the Google Gemini Python SDK
  2. Sets up an MCP server that bridges Claude Code and Gemini
  3. Configures it globally (works in any directory)
  4. Provides tools for collaboration between Claude and Gemini
  • ask_gemini - Ask Gemini any question
  • gemini_code_review - Get security/performance code reviews
  • gemini_brainstorm - Brainstorm ideas and solutions

The server is installed at: ~/.claude-mcp-servers/gemini-collab/

MCP not showing up?

# Check if it's installed claude mcp list # Reinstall with global scope claude mcp remove gemini-collab claude mcp add --scope user gemini-collab python3 ~/.claude-mcp-servers/gemini-collab/server.py

Connection errors?

  • Check your API key is valid
  • Ensure Python has google-generativeai installed: pip install google-generativeai

Edit ~/.claude-mcp-servers/gemini-collab/server.py and replace the API key.

Pull requests welcome! Please keep it simple and beginner-friendly.
