Gemini API docs extension for Gemini CLI

This extension provides documentation support for building with the Gemini API
on the Gemini CLI or other MCP-enabled tools.

Gemini CLI installation

You can clone the repository directly into the Gemini CLI extensions directory. Choose between a global installation (available to your user everywhere) or a local installation (for the current workspace).

Global Installation

mkdir -p ~/.gemini/extensions
git clone https://github.com/markmcd/gemini-docs-ext.git ~/.gemini/extensions/gemini-docs-ext

Workspace Installation

mkdir -p ./.gemini/extensions
git clone https://github.com/markmcd/gemini-docs-ext.git ./.gemini/extensions/gemini-docs-ext

Gemini CLI will automatically load the extension on startup.

Other tools

You can adapt this extension to provide context for other tools or APIs by following these steps:

1. Create a system .md file:
   Copy the contents of GEMINI.md to your tool's system instructions, e.g.
   CLAUDE.md or CONTEXT.md.

2. Add the MCP servers:
   gemini-extension.json contains a fairly standard MCP configuration. You may be able to copy the mcpServers block directly into your tool's MCP configuration.
