# 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

- [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli) installed and signed in.
- A DataDoe MCP key. Create one in [DataDoe MCP Integrations](https://app.datadoe.com/integrations/mcp).

## Step 1: Add the DataDoe MCP server

Run this command from your project root:

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

Replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with your DataDoe MCP key.

## Step 2: Reload Gemini CLI

Restart your Gemini CLI session so it picks up the new MCP server.

## Step 3: Test the connection

Run a prompt that uses DataDoe data, for example:

```
Show me my Amazon Seller Central sales for the last 7 days.
```

If Gemini CLI returns real data, you're connected.

## Starter project

Want a working starting point? Clone our [Gemini CLI template repository](https://github.com/Deltologic/datadoe-mcp-gemini-cli) - it ships preconfigured.

## Fallback with `mcp-remote`

If you run into problems with `gemini mcp add`, use this fallback proxy config instead:

```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"
            }
        }
    }
}
```
