Hosted by the vendor — no install, connect over HTTP with OAuth or a token.

every project:
{
"mcpServers": {
"gemini": {
"url": "https://gemini-api-docs-mcp.dev"
}
}
}A green dot in Settings → MCP means it connected.
Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

Do I need to install anything to use the Gemini MCP server?
No. It is a remote server hosted by Gemini, so your MCP client connects to it over HTTP. You authenticate with the vendor rather than installing a package.
