Gemini CLI 🤝 FastMCP: Simplifying MCP server development- Google Developers Blog

What this post added

Introduced integration between Gemini CLI and FastMCP, enabling local STDIO transport MCP servers to be installed via `fastmcp install gemini-cli server.py`. This simplifies the process of making FastMCP server capabilities available within Gemini CLI, automatically handling configuration, dependency management, and calls to Gemini CLI's MCP management system. This integration allows agents to perform actions and access context they would otherwise not have, by defining tools for actions/API interaction and prompts for slash commands.
