MIDAS MCP Server MIDAS MCP Server: Connecting Google Gemini CLI

Once you've installed and enabled the MIDAS MCP Server, here's how to connect Google Gemini's Command Line Interface (CLI) to MIDAS.

Note: This requires Node.js to be installed (see Prerequisites)
  1. Open (or create) your Gemini CLI settings file, normally at ~/.gemini/settings.json.
  2. Add the following, replacing the URL and key with your own details:
{
  "mcpServers": {
	"MIDAS": {
		"httpUrl": "https://your-midas-url/mcp.pl",
		"headers": {
			"X-MCP-Key": "your-midas-mcp-key"
		}
	}
  }
}
  1. Save the file, and restart Gemini CLI.
  2. Type /mcp within Gemini CLI to confirm that the MIDAS server has connected, and to see the available tools.
To connect with the MCP Server and inherit the permissions of a specific user account, you can optionally set a "X-Query-As" header in your configuration, with its value set to the email address associated with a user account in your MIDAS system.
If you have multiple databases setup in your MIDAS system, you can select a non-default database by optionally setting a "X-MIDAS-DB" header in your configuration, with its value set to the internal ID of the appropriate database.
