# Connect Gemini CLI to Robylon via MCP

Add the Robylon MCP server to Gemini CLI, sign in with your Robylon account, and ask Gemini about your support analytics and conversations.

To connect Gemini CLI to Robylon, add the server with the command below, then run `/mcp auth robylon` inside Gemini CLI to sign in with your Robylon account.

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http --scope user robylon https://api.robylon.ai/mcp/
```

You need an Admin or Super-admin role in each Robylon workspace you connect. See [Setup](https://www.robylon.ai/docs/mcp/setup#what-do-i-need-before-i-connect) for the full requirements.

## How do I connect Gemini CLI?

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the server">
    Run the command above. `--scope user` makes Robylon available in every folder. Without it, Gemini CLI saves the server for the current project only.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Sign in to Robylon">
    Start Gemini CLI and run `/mcp auth robylon`. Your browser opens Robylon's sign-in page: sign in, tick the workspaces to include and click **Connect**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Run `/mcp auth` on its own to list the servers that still need you to sign in.

## Can I add Robylon to the Gemini settings file instead?

Yes. Add this to `~/.gemini/settings.json`, or to `.gemini/settings.json` in a project:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "robylon": {
      "httpUrl": "https://api.robylon.ai/mcp/"
    }
  }
}
```

Use `httpUrl`, not `url`. In Gemini CLI, `url` means a different connection type and the Robylon connection fails with it.

## What if the Gemini CLI connection does not work?

* **Sign in on a machine with a browser.** Sign-in opens a local browser window, so it fails over SSH without a display or inside a container.
* **If a workspace is missing from answers,** sign in again and tick it. See [Which workspaces does a connection include?](https://www.robylon.ai/docs/mcp/setup#which-workspaces-does-a-connection-include)
* **If Robylon refuses the connection,** the page it shows explains why. See [Why can't I connect?](https://www.robylon.ai/docs/mcp/setup#why-cant-i-connect)
