Announcing the Genkit Extension for Gemini CLI- Google Developers Blog

What this post added

Introduced the Genkit Extension for Gemini CLI, which provides deep integration between Gemini CLI and Genkit projects. This extension bundles Genkit's MCP (Model Context Protocol) server with specialized context files, giving Gemini CLI a comprehensive understanding of how to work with the Genkit SDKs. It offers Genkit-specific MCP tools (`get_usage_guide`, `lookup_genkit_docs`, `list_flows`, `run_flow`, `get_trace`) for intelligent development assistance, including adding new AI features, debugging applications, and following best practices. The extension integrates with the Genkit Developer UI and supports various providers, with a preference for Google Gen AI.
