Gemini CLI

Add Oort to Gemini CLI.

1
Install the CLI.
Terminal
```
$ npm i -g oortmem
```
Skip this if you already have it. Node.js 22.15 or newer.
2
Connect Gemini CLI.
Terminal
```
$ oort connect gemini
```
Oort backs up the file, prints the change, then adds one server named oort. Add --dry-run to see the change without writing it.
Restart Gemini CLI.
Exit Gemini CLI and start it again in your project.
4
Check it is connected.
Gemini CLI
```
> /mcp
```
You should see oort and its tools.

What Oort writes

~/.gemini/settings.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oort": {
      "command": "/abs/path/to/oort",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

command is the full path of your installed oort. The rest of the file stays as it was. The first change keeps a copy of the original next to it, ending in .oort-backup.

Undo

Terminal

$ oort disconnect gemini

This removes only the oort entry. Your memories stay in ~/.oort. If something does not work, see Troubleshooting.

Which memories it sees

Gemini CLI starts the server in the folder you run it from, so memories follow your project.
