Connect Gemini CLI
to DataPalace.
Google’s Gemini comes in a few flavours. The free command-line version supports DataPalace out of the box — the fastest path if you are comfortable in a terminal.
The three Gemini surfaces
Gemini CLI (free, works now) — terminal-based, personal Google account, supports DataPalace today. Gemini Enterprise (Google Cloud) — supported but in preview, more involved. gemini.google.com (web app) — custom connections not available yet.
Connect Gemini CLI, step by step
If you have not installed it, install Node.js (nodejs.org), then run:
npm install -g @google/gemini-cli- Run
geminiand sign in with your Google account. - Open or create the settings file at
~/.gemini/settings.json. - Add the DataPalace MCP server block (below) with your token.
- Restart Gemini CLI, then type
/mcpto confirm DataPalace appears.

"mcpServers": {
"datapalace": {
"httpUrl": "https://mcp.datapalace.ai/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_DATAPALACE_TOKEN" }
}
}
}Test it: ask Gemini “Search DataPalace for our onboarding process.” If it returns your content, you are live.
Good to know
Google is renaming Gemini CLI to “Antigravity CLI” for non-paid users as of June 18, 2026 — same protocol, new name, same steps. The Enterprise path involves OAuth credentials in Google Cloud; loop in IT for that one.
