Gemini CLI: Set up the Visily MCP server

Gemini CLI supports remote MCP servers over streamable HTTP. There is no packaged plugin - connect by editing your settings file.

Before you start

  1. The Visily MCP works only on workspaces on a Pro or Business plan where you are the workspace creator or have an editor license. Free workspaces and viewer/guest roles are not supported.
  2. Server URL: https://app.visily.ai/api/mcp

Add the server

Edit ~/.gemini/settings.json (global) or .gemini/settings.json (project) and add the server under mcpServers
Gemini CLI uses httpUrl for streamable-HTTP transport:
Quote
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "visily": {
      "httpUrl": "https://app.visily.ai/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Authenticate (OAuth)

  1. Restart Gemini CLI so it picks up the config.
  2. Run /mcp to see server status. On first use, Gemini CLI prompts you to complete the OAuth sign-in in your browser.
Once connected, the Visily tools (list_boards, get_design_context, …) are available.

Verify

/mcp
