Gemini CLI with Fast.io workspace

Get started with Gemini CLI

Add the Fast.io MCP server to Gemini CLI using your settings file.

1

Open the Gemini settings file

nano ~/.gemini/settings.json

Add the Fast.io MCP server config

Paste the config below into the file. This tells Gemini CLI where to find the Fast.io MCP server. Exit nano by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y, and finally Enter to save. You may not need the outer braces if there are other configs in the file.

FAQ

What is the Fast.io MCP server?

It's a server that provides Gemini with 251 workspace tools. By adding it to your config, Gemini can upload files, create share links, and query documents using RAG.

How does authentication work?

The first time Gemini uses a Fast.io tool, it opens a browser tab to sign in or create a free account. Your session persists, so there are no API keys to manage manually.

Can I see what Gemini uploads?

Yes. Everything Gemini stores is accessible at app.fast.io. You can browse, preview, comment on, and download files from any device.

Does this work with Gemini CLI and Antigravity IDE?

Yes. It works with both. For Gemini CLI, you add the config to ~/.gemini/settings.json. For Antigravity IDE, you add it through Settings.

What happens when I hit the credit limit?

You get 5,000 credits per month. When they run out, new uploads and AI queries pause until the next cycle. Existing files and share links remain accessible.

Can Gemini share files with people who don't use Gemini?

Yes. Share links are regular web URLs. Recipients open them in a browser and get previews, downloads, and commenting features without needing an account.
