Add Namera to Gemini CLI's local MCP servers.

Install [Namera](https://namera.ai/docs/mcp/installation) and complete
[account setup](https://namera.ai/docs/mcp/getting-started#prepare-your-account) on the machine
that will run the client. Make sure its process can find both `namera` and Node.js.

## Add Namera [#add-namera]

With Gemini CLI installed, add this to `~/.gemini/settings.json` for your user,
or `.gemini/settings.json` for the current project:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "namera": {
      "command": "namera",
      "args": ["mcp", "serve", "--profile", "gemini"],
      "trust": false
    }
  }
}
```

`trust: false` keeps tool approval prompts instead of trusting all calls from
the server. See [Gemini CLI's MCP setup](https://geminicli.com/docs/tools/mcp-server/).

Merge this entry into your existing configuration without removing other servers
or settings. If `namera` cannot be found, use its
[absolute executable path](https://namera.ai/docs/mcp/troubleshooting#the-client-cannot-find-namera).

## Authorize [#authorize]

```sh
namera mcp login --profile gemini
namera mcp status --profile gemini
```

Approve the connection in your browser and select the active session keys it may
use. Run these commands as the same OS user that runs the client. Namera saves
the connection in your OS keyring; no API key belongs in the client config.

## Use Namera [#use-namera]

Start a new Gemini CLI session and run `/mcp` to inspect the connected servers
and available tools. If Namera is excluded by your MCP settings, enable it before
testing the connection.

Ask in a new conversation:

> Use Namera to list my accounts and session keys. Summarize their networks and
> permissions. Do not submit a transaction or sign a message.

Allow the read tools if prompted. If Namera requests browser authorization,
complete it and retry the read request. An empty result means no resources were
returned for this connection; do not ask the agent to invent account details.

Keep tool confirmations enabled for execution and signing where supported. See
[Permissions and Limits](https://namera.ai/docs/mcp/permissions) before granting broader access.

## Disconnect [#disconnect]

```sh
namera mcp logout --profile gemini
```

Also remove or disable the `namera` server in the client to stop it launching.
Logout revokes the MCP connection without deleting imported keys. If revocation
fails, revoke the connection in the dashboard as instructed by the error.
