Connect Redreach to Gemini – Redreach

Gemini connects to Redreach through the Gemini CLI, a terminal tool from Google. It takes one command and a browser sign-in.

💡

Worth knowing before you start: the free consumer Gemini app at gemini.google.com does not accept custom MCP connectors yet. That is a Google limitation, not a Redreach one. You need the Gemini CLI, or Gemini Enterprise (see the bottom of this article).

Add the server

Step 1: Run the command

In any terminal:

gemini mcp add --transport http redreach https://connect.redreach.ai/mcp

Step 2: Sign in

Inside the Gemini CLI, run:

/mcp auth redreach

A browser window opens on Redreach. Sign in if you are not already, click Approve, and you are connected.

Step 3: Check it works

Ask:

List my Redreach projects

If your projects come back, everything is working.

Or edit the config file

Prefer to set it up by hand? Add this to ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "redreach": {
      "httpUrl": "https://connect.redreach.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Then run /mcp auth redreach in the CLI to sign in, exactly as above.

Note that Gemini uses httpUrl here, where most other tools use url. Getting this wrong is the usual reason the server does not appear.

On Gemini Enterprise

If your organisation is on Gemini Enterprise (the Business edition), a team admin can add Redreach in the web app rather than the CLI:

Go to Manage team → Connected apps → Add MCP Server

Enter the server URL: https://connect.redreach.ai/mcp

Each team member then signs in with their own Redreach login, so everyone sees exactly the projects they already have access to.
