Gemini CLI
Gemini CLI uses Filestar through the MCP server that comes with the Filestar CLI (filestarcli mcp).
Add it
filestarcli agent install --agent gemini-cliOr add it by hand to Gemini CLI's user settings, keeping what is already there:
| System | File |
|---|---|
| Windows | %USERPROFILE%\.gemini\settings.json |
| macOS and Linux | ~/.gemini/settings.json |
{
"mcpServers": {
"filestar": {
"command": "filestarcli",
"args": ["mcp"]
}
}
}If Gemini CLI cannot start the server, use the full path to the CLI as command, or "command": "npx" with "args": ["-y", "filestar", "mcp"].
Check it
Start Gemini CLI again (it reads settings when it starts) and run /mcp: filestar should be listed with its tools. Then ask:
Turn these WAV recordings into MP3.
Remove it
filestarcli agent uninstall --agent gemini-cli
