gemini-cli-mcp-async 0.1.1

Async wrapper for Gemini CLI to enable parallel task execution in Claude Code

Gemini CLI MCP Server

Async wrapper for Gemini CLI to enable parallel task execution in Claude Code.

Features

• Async execution - Run tasks in background without blocking
• Multi-instance - Execute multiple Gemini CLI tasks in parallel
• Zombie process cleanup - Automatic cleanup of finished processes
• Zero configuration - Works out of the box

Quick Start

1. Install

git clone https://github.com/your-username/gemini-cli-mcp-async.git
cd gemini-cli-mcp-async
chmod +x gemini_cli_mcp_async_server.py

2. Configure Claude Code

Add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gemini-cli": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/gemini-cli-mcp-async/gemini_cli_mcp_async_server.py",
      "args": [],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Claude Code

Usage

Async execution

# Start async task
gemini_cli_execute_async(
    query="your prompt here",
    working_dir="/path/to/project"
)
# Returns: task_id

# Check result
gemini_cli_check_result(task_id="your_task_id")

Parallel execution

# Start multiple tasks
task1 = gemini_cli_execute_async(query="task 1", yolo=True)
task2 = gemini_cli_execute_async(query="task 2", sandbox=True)

# Check results later
result1 = gemini_cli_check_result(task_id=task1)
result2 = gemini_cli_check_result(task_id=task2)

Sync execution

# Immediate result
gemini_cli_execute(
    query="your prompt here",
    timeout=300
)

API Reference

gemini_cli_execute(query, working_dir, sandbox, yolo, approval_mode, experimental_acp, allowed_mcp_server_names, allowed_tools, extensions, include_directories, output_format, screen_reader, debug, additional_args, timeout)

Execute Gemini CLI synchronously and return result immediately.

gemini_cli_execute_async(query, working_dir, sandbox, yolo, approval_mode, experimental_acp, allowed_mcp_server_names, allowed_tools, extensions, include_directories, output_format, screen_reader, debug, additional_args)

Start Gemini CLI task in background and return task_id.

gemini_cli_check_result(task_id)

Check status of async task and return result if completed.

Troubleshooting

Server not showing in Claude Code:

• Check file path is absolute and correct
• Ensure file has execute permissions (chmod +x)
• Verify gemini-cli is installed and accessible

Tasks stuck:

• Check task status with gemini_cli_check_result()
• View debug log: tail -f /tmp/gemini_cli_mcp_debug.log

No output from long tasks:

• Use output_format="stream-json" for better output capture
• Check disk space in /tmp

Configuration

All Gemini CLI parameters are supported. Key options:

• sandbox - Enable sandbox mode
• yolo - Auto-confirm prompts
• approval_mode - Set approval mode ('default', 'auto_edit', 'yolo')
• output_format - Output format ('text', 'json', 'stream-json')
• timeout - Timeout for sync execution (seconds)
• debug - Enable debug logging
