Gemini CLI

Connect Gemini CLI

Choose another client
  1. Sign in or create a free account — we'll bring you back to this Gemini CLI guide.
  2. Follow the Gemini CLI connection steps below. Use the authentication method in this guide; OAuth does not need an API key.
  3. Enable Equibles in your AI conversation, then try:

    Using Equibles, who are NVIDIA's top institutional holders? Include the reporting period and source links.

  4. Confirm your AI shows an Equibles tool call and an answer with sources, not a connection or quota error.

    Troubleshoot a missing or failed request

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, and it should call an Equibles tool. Name Equibles in the prompt, "using Equibles, ...", or the model may answer from memory or from a web search instead of the sourced data:

› Using Equibles, compare NVDA's latest earnings call with the previous quarter. Build a management accountability scorecard showing what was promised, delivered, missed, or is too early to judge; compare prior guidance with filed results; flag achievements that exceeded or were not foreshadowed by management's prior outlook; explain changes in tone and priorities; and cite every conclusion. Earnings
› Who are NVIDIA's top institutional holders this quarter? 13F
› Summarize Microsoft's most recent earnings call. Earnings

Troubleshooting

Connected but requests fail? See shared connection troubleshooting for OAuth sign-in and API-key errors. Keep the setup URL above if your connection works.

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?

It answered from memory or from a web search. Start the prompt with "using Equibles, ..." so it calls the tools.

401 / access denied?

Your key is missing or wrong. Put the full key in the Authorization header: the one you copied when you created it, not the shortened prefix the dashboard lists later. If you no longer have it, create a new one at /dashboard/apikeys. If you're over your daily limit, see Plans & limits.
