2. Sign in
Run /mcp auth <name> inside Gemini CLI to sign in to an OAuth server. Redis runs locally; set any credentials Redis asks for before starting Gemini CLI.
3. Try it
Ask Gemini CLI for something Redis can do. Store, read and search Redis data (strings, hashes, lists, sets, streams, JSON and vector indexes) in natural language. 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.
