Gemini MCP Server Lx0

🚀 Guide on Configuring Gemini MCP Server via Claude Desktop

This guide is designed to help you configure and run a Gemini MCP (Model Coordination Protocol) server through Claude Desktop. This server enables you to directly interact with Gemini series models, including gemini-1.5-pro, gemini-1.5-preview, and more.

🚀 Quick Start

📦 Installation

Install Node.js

1. Download and install Node.js.
2. Ensure that npm (Node Package Manager) is installed.

Clone the Project Repository

git clone https://github.com/your-username/gemini-mcp.git
cd gemini-mcp

Install Dependencies

Run the following command to install all the dependencies required for the project:

npm install

🔧 Service Configuration

Set Environment Variables

Create or modify the config.js file and add the following content:

module.exports = {
  API_KEY: 'your_api_key_here',
  MODEL_VERSION: 'gemini-1.5-pro'
};

Create a Startup Script

Create a start.sh startup script in the project root directory:

#!/bin/bash
node index.js

Give the script executable permissions:

chmod +x start.sh

Install Claude Desktop

1. Download and install Claude Desktop.
2. Open the application and log in to your account.

Configure the MCP Server

Modify the Configuration File

Locate the configuration file path for Claude Desktop:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add the Gemini server configuration to the mcpServers object:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gemini": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["./path/to/gemini-mcp/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "GEMINI_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Start the Service

Run the startup script to start the MCP server:

./start.sh

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

1. Open Claude Desktop and load the new configuration file.
2. Select gemini as the target MCP server in the message editor.
3. Start using the Gemini model features, for example:
   • ask_gemini: Send a single-round query request.
   • chat_with_gemini: Start a conversation mode.
   • gemini_models: List all available Gemini model versions.

⚠️ Important Note

1. API Key Security:

   • Ensure that you do not commit your API key to any version control system.
   • Use environment variables or professional key management tools to store your API key.

2. Network Access Control:

   • Avoid exposing the MCP server endpoints publicly in a production environment.
   • Use firewalls and security groups to limit the access scope.

3. Regular Updates:

   • Regularly check for the latest versions of the Gemini model and related dependencies to get the latest features and security fixes.
