Gemini CLI

The Gemini CLI connects to the Equibles MCP server through its settings.json, authenticated with an API key.

1. Install the Gemini CLI

Install it from github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli, then run gemini once to sign in.

2. Add the Equibles server

Create an API key at /dashboard/apikeys (it starts with eq_ and is shown once), then add Equibles to ~/.gemini/settings.json under mcpServers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "equibles": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.equibles.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer eq_your_api_key" }
    }
  }
}

A streamable-HTTP server uses the httpUrl key (not url, which is for SSE endpoints). For a single project, put the same block in .gemini/settings.json at the project root.

3. Test it

Start gemini and ask any of these — it should call an Equibles tool:

› Show me Apple's last five daily closes. Prices

› Who are NVIDIA's top institutional holders this quarter? 13F

› Summarize Microsoft's most recent earnings call. Earnings

Troubleshooting

Server not appearing?

Restart the CLI after editing settings.json, then run /mcp inside gemini to confirm Equibles is listed and connected.

Model answers without Equibles data?

Tell it explicitly to "use the Equibles MCP server" in your prompt.

401 / access denied?

Your key is missing or wrong — re-copy it from /dashboard/apikeys into the Authorization header. If you're over your daily limit, see Rate limits.
