Setup checked October 2026 against Gemini CLI MCP docs

01 · Uplink

Connect Gemini CLI to MetaRun

01 · Add the server

--scope user adds it for every project; the default scope is the current project.

gemini mcp add --transport http --scope user metarun https://metarun.dev/api/mcp

02 · Sign in

Gemini CLI starts the browser sign-in the first time MetaRun asks for it. To sign in again later:

/mcp auth metarun

03 · Or install the extension

Installs the same server with a short context file that tells Gemini how MetaRun's preview and apply steps work.

gemini extensions install https://github.com/metarun/metarun-skills
Prefer a personal access token (scripts, CI)?

Use a token instead

Mint a personal access token in MetaRun under Settings, MCP. It's shown once and can be revoked any time.

gemini mcp add --transport http --scope user \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $METARUN_TOKEN" metarun https://metarun.dev/api/mcp

03 · Briefing

Server or extension?

Both reach the same MetaRun server with the same sign-in. The extension adds a context file that explains MetaRun's two-step writes to Gemini (preview, then apply with the confirm token), so it tends to show you previews without being asked.

Things to ask Gemini CLI

  • Ask Gemini CLI: List my apps and the review state of each one's latest version.
  • Ask Gemini CLI: Translate the subtitle into German and Japanese and show me the previews.
  • Ask Gemini CLI: Which tracked keywords moved more than five places this week?
05 · Safety

How Gemini CLI asks before a change

Gemini CLI asks before each MCP tool call unless the server is marked trusted or a policy rule allows the tool. Don't mark MetaRun as trusted: that would let applies through without a prompt. If you want fewer prompts, allow specific read tools with a policy rule.

Unattended

gemini -p runs one request without an interactive session. A call that would ask is treated as denied, so only tools a policy rule allows will run.

Read-only check, safe to schedule

gemini -p "List my apps and the review state of each one's latest version. Read only." --allowed-mcp-server-names metarun

Keep MetaRun's apply tools out of your policy rules so they can't run unattended.

06 · FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does Gemini CLI need my App Store Connect key?

No. It signs in to MetaRun in your browser. Your key stays encrypted on MetaRun's servers.

Can Gemini change my store without asking?

Only if you mark the server trusted or allow apply tools in a policy rule. Don't. Every change is a preview first and needs its confirm token.

Pro ($39 a month), Studio ($99 a month) and the 14-day free trial. Starter doesn't include it.

Other agents
