How do I add a new MCP server to the Gemini CLI?

You can add a server interactively using the 'gemini mcp add' command or by manually defining the server configuration in the mcpServers object within your settings.json file.

Can I control which tools an MCP server is allowed to run?

Yes, you can manage permissions by setting servers to 'Trust' (automatic execution) or 'Ask' (manual confirmation for each tool call) within the configuration.

What is the difference between Stdio and SSE transports?

Stdio (command) is best for local executables and scripts, while SSE (url) uses Server-Sent Events to facilitate streaming updates from remote servers.

How can I fix a DISCONNECTED MCP server status?

Run the Gemini CLI with the --debug flag to view raw connection logs. This helps identify if the issue is a path error, a missing dependency, or a network timeout.
