Install AI Search Brand Visibility 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": {
    "ai-search-visibility": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=highbrow_fame/ai-search-visibility-tracker,highbrow_fame/ai-overview-citation-checker,highbrow_fame/ai-brand-share-of-voice,highbrow_fame/ai-page-citation-checker"
    }
  }
}
  1. Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.

Check it worked

Ask Gemini CLI: List the tools of ai-search-visibility.

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.
