Install Web & Developer Data Tools 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": {
    "web-and-dev-tools": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=highbrow_fame/pdf-text-extractor,highbrow_fame/domain-whois-dns-ssl,highbrow_fame/website-tech-stack,highbrow_fame/sitemap-url-extractor,highbrow_fame/domain-authority-rank,highbrow_fame/rss-feed-reader,highbrow_fame/openstreetmap-places,highbrow_fame/github-trending-repos,highbrow_fame/weather-api,highbrow_fame/github-repo-api"
    }
  }
}
  1. Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.

Check it worked

Ask Gemini CLI: List the tools of web-and-dev-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.
