GEMINI CLI

Gemini CLI is Google's open-source AI agent for the terminal: it reads and edits code, runs shell commands, and connects to MCP servers using Gemini models. Use when someone asks to "install Gemini CLI", "run gemini in a script", "set up GEMINI.md", "add an MCP server to Gemini CLI", "sandbox Gemini CLI", or "log in to Gemini CLI". Covers current install, authentication (the unpaid Google-account tier ended 18 June 2026), headless mode, GEMINI.md, MCP, and sandboxing.
