Install Monie Tools: screenshots, PDF/OCR, PageSpeed & email for agents in Gemini CLI

What you need first

• Gemini CLI, installed.
• Nothing else: the server runs on its publisher's machines and Gemini CLI connects to it.

Steps

1. Open ~/.gemini/settings.json, or create it. For one project only, use .gemini/settings.json in that project.
2. Add this block. If the file already has mcpServers, add only the entry inside it.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "monie-tools": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=poised_beardlichen/website-screenshot-pdf,poised_beardlichen/pdf-to-text-markdown-ocr,poised_beardlichen/image-to-text-ocr,poised_beardlichen/pagespeed-lighthouse-checker,poised_beardlichen/email-verifier-bulk"
    }
  }
}

3. Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.

Check it worked

Ask Gemini CLI: List the tools of monie-tools.

If it does not start

401 Unauthorized

The endpoint wants a sign-in or a key. Sign in when Gemini CLI asks.

Nothing changes after a restart

The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
