Connect Gemini CLI to your task board
Google's terminal AI, official Weft extension.
To connect Gemini CLI to a task board, add Weft — a task board with an MCP server — to Gemini CLI and sign in once. It takes about three minutes and is free for 50 tasks. After that, Gemini CLI creates, moves and finishes tasks on your board when you ask.
Weft is the AI task manager for solo founders and small teams.
Google's open-source Gemini CLI. Weft ships an official extension — one command installs the MCP connection plus a context file that teaches Gemini the board's conventions.

Gemini CLI and MCP: common questions
Does Gemini CLI support MCP?
Yes. Gemini CLI connects to remote MCP servers, and Weft is one: a single endpoint, https://letsweft.com/api/mcp. You sign in once in the browser; there is no API key to copy.
Where do I add an MCP server in Gemini CLI?
You don’t edit a file by hand: the command in step 2 adds the Weft entry to Gemini CLI for you.
Is Weft free to use with Gemini CLI?
Yes, for up to 50 tasks, with no credit card. Pro removes the limit.
What can Gemini CLI do on my Weft board?
Create, update, move and complete tasks, plan and run sprints, sort work into projects and search across all of it: 32 MCP tools in all.
