Connect Gemini CLI to Upscrape

Add Upscrape to Gemini CLI once. Then it can fetch live platform and website data from your terminal, priced before each call.

1

Run one command

It starts Gemini CLI with a setup prompt. Gemini CLI adds Upscrape, asks you to approve the sign-in in your browser, then runs a first request.

gemini -i 'Set up the Upscrape MCP server in Gemini CLI for me, then use it once. 1. Run `gemini mcp add --transport http --scope user upscrape https://data.upscrape.com/mcp`. 2. Then tell me to run /mcp auth upscrape; the browser opens for me to approve. Leave the approval to me, and never ask me for a password, key or token. 3. If the Upscrape tools are not available in this session yet, tell me exactly how to load them and wait for me. 4. When they are available: Use Upscrape to show me which platforms it covers, then suggest one small request I could try.'

Prefer to set it up by hand?

Add the server

For every project on this machine:

gemini mcp add --transport http --scope user upscrape https://data.upscrape.com/mcp

Sign in

In Gemini CLI, run this. Your browser opens to approve.

/mcp auth upscrape

Gemini CLI runs with a Code Assist Standard or Enterprise licence or a paid Gemini API key; free and Google One accounts moved to Antigravity CLI in June 2026.

Questions

Gemini CLI and Upscrape

The short answers. The docs have the long ones.

Do I need an API key?

No. Gemini CLI signs in to Upscrape with OAuth in your browser. If your setup cannot open a browser, create an API key in the console and send it as Authorization: Bearer followed by the key.

What does it cost?

Connecting is free, and so are searching the catalog, checking prices and reading results. Only a call that runs and succeeds spends credits, at the price Gemini CLI saw first. New accounts start with up to 100 free credits.

What can Gemini CLI do with Upscrape?

Search the catalog in plain words, read an endpoint's input and price, run it, and collect long lists page by page, on every platform in the catalog and any public website.

It does not connect. What now?

Check that the address is exactly https://data.upscrape.com/mcp, sign in again, and restart Gemini CLI if it still shows no Upscrape tools. Still stuck? Write to [email protected] with what Gemini CLI shows.
