Connect Gemini CLI to Entalpa

Use this legacy path only where Gemini CLI still serves the account's authentication tier; affected individual users should migrate the same MCP and skills workflow to Antigravity CLI.

before you start

Gemini CLI will ask you to log in

The MCP server serves your own projects, so it authenticates you: the first connection opens a browser and asks for your Entalpa account. Register first, otherwise that prompt has nothing to accept. Registration is free, no card, and MCP calls never spend credits.

Create a free account

requirements

Gemini CLI installed.
Browser access for OAuth if prompted by the MCP client.
An authentication route that still serves Gemini CLI, such as an eligible organization license, Gemini API key, or Vertex AI configuration.

install mcp server

Add the MCP server

gemini mcp add --transport http entalpa https://api.entalpa.com/mcp

Manual settings fallback

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "entalpa": {
      "httpUrl": "https://api.entalpa.com/mcp",
      "timeout": 30000
    }
  }
}

install entalpa skill

Install from entalpa/entalpa-mcp's default branch for the latest skill, or use a release tag for a reproducible install.

Install the Entalpa skills natively

gemini skills install https://github.com/entalpa/entalpa-mcp.git --path skills/entalpa-implement --consent
gemini skills install https://github.com/entalpa/entalpa-mcp.git --path skills/entalpa-prd --consent

Skills CLI alternative

npx skills add entalpa/entalpa-mcp --skill "*" --agent gemini-cli -g -y

GitHub CLI alternative

gh skill install entalpa/entalpa-mcp entalpa-implement --agent gemini-cli --scope user
gh skill install entalpa/entalpa-mcp entalpa-prd --agent gemini-cli --scope user

verify

Run gemini mcp list or use /mcp in Gemini CLI to confirm Entalpa is connected.
Use /mcp auth entalpa if authentication is pending.

known limitations

Gemini CLI uses httpUrl for Streamable HTTP and url for SSE; do not swap these fields.
Gemini CLI stopped serving requests for Gemini Code Assist for individuals, Google AI Pro, and Google AI Ultra on June 18, 2026. Those users should use the Antigravity guide; do not present Gemini CLI as a new-install path for those plans.
