Google has unveiled a major update for its Gemini CLI tool, adding a catalog of 70 ready-made integrations with popular third-party services. This solution fundamentally changes the approach to developers' work, allowing interaction with various applications directly through the terminal, without the need to use web interfaces or external IDEs.
Gemini CLI is an open-source tool designed to enable developers to work with the Gemini model for tasks involving code management, file handling, and application interaction directly from the command line. The new update significantly expands its capabilities, transforming it into a powerful assistant for diverse workflows.
Wide Selection of Ready-Made Extensions
The integration catalog is impressive in its diversity. Among the available services are Figma for design, Shopify for e-commerce, Stripe for payment processing, Google's own Nano Banana image generator, and many other popular tools. In total, developers have access to over 70 plugins that require no additional configuration after installation.
Particularly valuable is that developers are not limited to ready-made solutions. Google provides detailed documentation that allows creating custom extensions tailored to specific project or team needs. This opens unlimited possibilities for customizing the working environment.
Simple Installation and Powerful Technology
The extension installation process is maximally simplified. Developers only need to execute a single command: gemini extensions install <GitHub URL or local path>. After that, the integration is ready to use.
At the core of all integrations lies the Model Context Protocol (MCP) - a technology that provides each extension with predefined instructions. Thanks to this, Gemini quickly adapts and learns to interact effectively with new tools, significantly optimizing workflows.
By combining artificial intelligence capabilities with direct terminal access, Google positions Gemini CLI as a tool that bridges the gap between AI assistance, programming, and practical use of development tools. This solution promises to be a real breakthrough for developers seeking to increase their productivity and simplify daily tasks.
