1. Add the server

Run in your terminal

gemini mcp add --transport http apify https://mcp.apify.com/

2. Sign in

Run /mcp auth <name> inside Gemini CLI to sign in to an OAuth server. Apify is hosted by Apify, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.

3. Try it

Ask Gemini CLI for something Apify can do. Run thousands of ready-made scrapers and automations from Apify Store as tools. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.

· In settings.json, streamable HTTP servers use httpUrl, SSE servers use url, local servers use command.
· includeTools and excludeTools limit which tools the model sees.
