# Gemini

> Connect Gemini (Gemini CLI / Code Assist) to the Poix MCP server

Gemini's MCP-compatible tools (such as the Gemini CLI) support remote Streamable HTTP MCP servers configured by URL.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get a Poix Token">
    If you don't already have one, create a `poix-` Token in the [Dashboard](https://app.poix.io/mcp). See [Authentication](/mcp/authentication) for details.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open your MCP settings">
    Locate (or create) the MCP server configuration file your Gemini client reads (for the Gemini CLI, `~/.gemini/settings.json`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Poix as a generic Streamable HTTP server">
    <CodeGroup>
      ```json settings.json theme={null}
      {
        "mcpServers": {
          "poix": {
            "httpUrl": "https://mcp.poix.io",
            "headers": {
              "Authorization": "Bearer poix-…"
            }
          }
        }
      }
      ```
    </CodeGroup>

    Replace `poix-…` with your actual Token. If your client's config uses a different key name for the endpoint URL (for example `url` instead of `httpUrl`), use whichever key your client's MCP schema expects — the endpoint and header are the same either way.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the connection">
    Restart your Gemini client and check its MCP/tools panel — `poix` should appear with its tools listed. You can now ask Gemini to search YouTube, pull video or channel details, or fetch captions directly.
