Gemini MCP
Get grounded results, analyse images, generate diagrams or even videos from inside Claude with our Gemini MCP.
In practice.
Cross-model handoff from Claude to Google Gemini. Image analysis and generation, deep research with grounding, video generation. Useful when Claude needs an extra pair of eyes or a different model's strength inside the same agent loop.
Three steps. Five minutes.
Gemini MCP runs as an MCP server. You install it once, point Claude at it via a small config file, and it's available in every conversation from that point on. The full primer is at how to add an MCP server to Claude Desktop; what follows is the short version.
- 1
Install the package
Open a terminal and run the command below. It installs Gemini MCP globally so Claude can find it from any directory.
npm i -g @houtini/gemini-mcp - 2
Add it to your Claude config
In Claude Desktop, open Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Add an entry under
mcpServerspointing at@houtini/gemini-mcp. The full primer (with the JSON snippet you can copy) is at how to add an MCP server to Claude Desktop. - 3
Restart Claude
Close Claude Desktop completely and reopen it. The new MCP shows up in the tool list at the bottom of the message box. If it doesn't, the linked primer above has the troubleshooting checklist.
