# Using Gemini CLI with DataDoe MCP

Use Gemini CLI when you want a terminal-first agent that can still reach DataDoe over MCP.

![Gemini CLI connector setup steps](/hub-files/mcp/datadoe/gemini-cli-connector.png)

## Prerequisites

- You have access to DataDoe and a working MCP-capable agent or client.
- You know where that agent stores its MCP server configuration.

## Step 1: Add the DataDoe MCP server

Add the DataDoe MCP server to the Gemini CLI configuration or environment used by your local session.

Run this command from your project:

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http --scope project -H "datadoe-mcp-key: YOUR_API_KEY" datadoe "https://mcp.datadoe.com/mcp/v1"
```

## Step 2: Reload the agent

Restart the agent so it picks up the new MCP server definition.

## Step 3: Test it

Run your first prompt, for example: `Show me all sellers and vendors from DataDoe`.

## Starter Project

If you want a starting point, use our [Gemini CLI template repository](https://github.com/Deltologic/datadoe-mcp-gemini-cli).

## Fallback with `mcp-remote`

If you have problems setting up MCP with `gemini mcp add`, use the fallback proxy setup below:

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "datadoe": {
            "command": "bash",
            "args": [
                "-lc",
                "npx -y mcp-remote@latest https://mcp.datadoe.com/mcp/v1 --transport http-only --header \"datadoe-mcp-key:${DATADOE_MCP_KEY}\""
            ],
            "env": {
                "DATADOE_MCP_KEY": "$DATADOE_MCP_KEY"
            }
        }
    }
}
```
