Gemini CLI Integration

Overview

Gemini CLI is Google's command-line AI assistant that runs in your terminal. With BounceRaptor's MCP server, Gemini CLI can verify email addresses as native tool calls, enabling email validation as part of your terminal-based AI workflows.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Get Your MCP Key

Navigate to Settings → MCP Keys in your BounceRaptor dashboard. Create a new MCP key labeled "Gemini CLI". Copy the generated key.

Step 2: Add MCP Server to Gemini CLI

Create or edit the Gemini CLI settings file at ~/.gemini/settings.json and add the BounceRaptor MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bounceraptor": {
      "serverUrl": "https://bounceraptor.com/api/mcp/verify-email/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Verify Emails in Gemini CLI

Launch Gemini CLI and the BounceRaptor tools will be automatically discovered. You can then ask Gemini to verify emails:

Verify if [email protected] is a valid email address

Check these emails and tell me which are safe: [email protected], [email protected]
