Gemini CLI Integration
Google's Gemini CLI meets the universal MCP protocol. Add PostQuickAI once, then ask Gemini to schedule posts, generate content, or pull analytics — no custom code required.
Edit ~/.gemini/settings.json (or .gemini/settings.json for project scope):
{
"mcpServers": {
"postquickai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@postquickai/mcp"],
"env": {
"POSTQUICKAI_API_KEY": "$POSTQUICKAI_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}Then export the key in your shell (e.g. in ~/.zshrc):
export POSTQUICKAI_API_KEY=pq_live_your_key_hereBlock destructive operations for added safety:
{
"mcpServers": {
"postquickai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@postquickai/mcp"],
"env": { "POSTQUICKAI_API_KEY": "$POSTQUICKAI_API_KEY" },
"excludeTools": ["deleteContentGroup", "deletePost", "deleteVideo", "disconnectAccount"]
}
}
}Restart Gemini CLI, then ask it:
MCP server, Skills, and REST API are all included with the API add-on on any paid plan.
Global: ~/.gemini/settings.json. Project-scoped: .gemini/settings.json in your repo root. MCP servers are defined under the top-level mcpServers key.
Use environment-variable expansion. In settings.json, set "POSTQUICKAI_API_KEY": "$POSTQUICKAI_API_KEY" — Gemini CLI pulls the value from your shell env at runtime instead of hard-coding it in the config file.
Yes. MCP servers load at startup. Restart the Gemini CLI process for changes to take effect.
Yes. Gemini CLI supports excludeTools and includeTools arrays per server. Example: "excludeTools": ["deleteContentGroup"] blocks destructive operations while keeping read/write tools available.
Gemini CLI doesn't natively read AGENTS.md, but you can reference it in your system prompt or custom commands config. The MCP tools still work identically.
Almost always a config format issue. Make sure command is just npx and args is an array — never put the whole command in one string. Also fully quit and restart your agent after editing config.
MCP and REST API access both require the API add-on on your plan. Enable it at postquick.ai/pricing.
Generate a key at postquick.ai/dashboard/api. Keys start with pq_live_. Put it in the env block of your MCP config.
Basic plan: 30 req/min, 5k/day. Pro plan: 120 req/min, 50k/day. See rate limits in the API docs.

PostQuickAI is agent-native — same API, same MCP server, same skills bundle across every major AI coding agent.
