Add VMEG to Gemini CLI and translate media from natural-language prompts in your terminal.

​
Manual setup

​
Prerequisites

  • Gemini CLI installed (npm install -g @google/gemini-cli@latest)
  • A VMEG account — see Pricing for credits
  • An API Key from API Configuration

​
Add the MCP server

Edit your Gemini CLI settings and add VMEG under mcpServers:
  • Global (all projects): ~/.gemini/settings.json
  • Project-scoped: .gemini/settings.json in your project root
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vmeg": {
      "httpUrl": "https://www.vmeg.ai/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key from API Configuration. If you already have other MCP servers, add vmeg alongside them. Restart Gemini CLI after saving.

​
Verify

Launch Gemini CLI and run: 
/mcp
vmeg should appear with its available tools.

​
Usage
