Install WhiteCapData Dev in Gemini CLI
What you need first
- Gemini CLI, installed.
- uv, which
gives the
uvxcommand the server starts with.
Steps
- Open
~/.gemini/settings.json, or create it. For one project only, use.gemini/settings.jsonin that project. - Add this block. If the file already has
mcpServers, add only the entry inside it.
{
"mcpServers": {
"whitecapdata-dev": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["whitecapdata-dev==0.1.2"]
}
}
} - Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.
Check it worked
Ask Gemini CLI: List the tools of whitecapdata-dev.
If it does not start
- spawn uvx ENOENT
- uv is not on the PATH that Gemini CLI sees. Install it, or write the
full path of
uvxin the config. - Nothing changes after a restart
- The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
