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
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:
vmeg should appear with its available tools.
