Agent guide

Set up Edge in Gemini CLI

Add Edge to Gemini CLI with one command, check that it connects, then ask one test question. Free, no Edge account.

No skill to install: Edge loads the right one per task.

Connect Edge

In a terminal, run:

gemini mcp add --scope user --transport http edge https://getedge.cc/mcp

Then check it:

gemini mcp list

It shows edge: https://getedge.cc/mcp (http) - Connected. Gemini CLI connects MCP servers only in a trusted folder: if edge shows as Disabled, trust the folder when Gemini CLI asks, or run /permissions inside it.

Free needs no Edge key. Pro: add --header "Authorization: Bearer edge_YOUR_KEY" to the add command.

Run it on your computer

To run Edge locally instead (needs Node.js 20 or newer):

gemini mcp add --scope user edge npx -y @getedge/mcp

Either command writes the entry to ~/.gemini/settings.json. The hosted one looks like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "edge": {
      "url": "https://getedge.cc/mcp",
      "type": "http"
    }
  }
}

Test it

Start gemini and ask:

Show me what Edge can do.

It works when Gemini CLI calls an Edge tool and its answer lists what Edge can do. /mcp list inside the session shows Edge's tools.

Sources

Checked 2026-11-12 with Gemini CLI 0.68.0 on Linux, in a clean home folder: gemini mcp add wrote the entry above, and gemini mcp list showed both the hosted and the local Edge as Connected. The URL answered MCP initialize and tools/list. No model run.
